Cherry Pit
Also known as: Cherry Pit OG
Cherry Pit Strain Overview
Cherry Pit is a relatively modern indica-dominant hybrid strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest cannabis breeding scene. The strain was developed by crossing two well-established parent strains to create a unique profile that combines physical relaxation with mental clarity. Breeders specifically selected for its distinctive cherry aroma and balanced effects, making it popular among both recreational and medicinal users seeking relief without excessive sedation.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, conical buds that display a striking color palette of deep forest green with occasional purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. These colorful buds are generously coated in frosty white trichomes and feature vibrant orange pistils that contrast sharply against the darker foliage. The name 'Cherry Pit' derives from both its genetic lineage and its prominent cherry-like aroma with subtle earthy undertones.
Cherry Pit has gained recognition for its well-rounded effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, it has developed a dedicated following in certain regional markets, particularly in legal states where craft cannabis cultivation thrives. The strain's moderate growth difficulty and reliable yields have made it appealing to home growers seeking consistent results with distinctive flavor profiles.

Cherry Pit Strain Growing Information
Cherry Pit is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though it thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature can be regulated. Plants tend to remain medium in height (3-4 feet indoors, 4-6 feet outdoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold and providing adequate support for the dense buds in late flowering stages.
