Cherry Payton
Cherry Payton
Overview
Cherry Payton is a modern cannabis hybrid created by Nevada-based LIT Farms through crossing Gary Payton and Cherry Cheesecake. This emerging strain represents the contemporary cannabis market's focus on dessert-inspired cultivars, combining the high-potency structure of Gary Payton with the sweet, fruity characteristics of Cherry Cheesecake. Bred in the mid-2010s following market trends toward balanced hybrids that outperformed pure indicas or sativas in consumer preference surveys by 15-20%. The strain exhibits dense, trichome-rich buds displaying forest green coloration with subtle purple hues and fiery orange pistils, creating an aesthetically striking appearance.
Cherry Payton offers a complex sensory experience that begins with an aromatic profile reminiscent of cherry candy and vanilla cream with subtle diesel undertones. The aroma captures attention with its gourmand perfume-like quality, featuring predominant cherry-like fragrance backed by earthy and spicy notes. When consumed, the flavor profile delivers a sophisticated multi-layered experience starting with sweet cherry reminiscent of freshly picked fruit, transitioning to mid-flavor hints of subtle spice and earthiness, and finishing with peppered notes. This strain's appeal lies in its ability to provide both recreational enjoyment and potential therapeutic benefits, making it popular among flavor-focused consumers and those seeking evening relaxation. The flowering time averages 60-63 days, and while breeder attribution continues to stabilize in public databases, the core sensory identity has become recognizable in the market.

Growing Information
Cherry Payton can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of 60-63 days (8-9 weeks). The strain is considered moderately easy to grow and produces medium yields. Indoor cultivation is preferred for optimal control over environmental conditions. Plants require proper airflow due to dense bud structure to prevent mold and mildew. The strain responds well to nutrient-rich organic soil or hydroponic systems with balanced feeding schedules. Phosphorus and potassium are essential during flowering phase. Training techniques like LST can help maximize yield. For best results, harvest should be timed carefully and followed by proper curing to enhance flavor complexity and aroma.
