Cherry Punch
Cherry Punch
Also known as: Black Cherry Punch
Overview
Cherry Punch is a balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created through crossing Cherry AK-47 with Purple Punch F2 by Symbiotic Genetics. Also known as Black Cherry Punch, this strain is widely celebrated for its bold cherry flavor profile that comes from dense, citrus terpenes. The strain showcases stunning visual appeal with dark green buds featuring purple specks and striking orange hairs, while dense, resinous buds are coated in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty and sticky texture.
Symbiotic Genetics, a reputable breeding facility based in Northern California, played a pivotal role in bringing these two strains together. Their expertise and dedication to producing exceptional cannabis strains led to the creation of Cherry Punch. This hybridization process resulted in a balanced sativa-dominant strain with an enticing flavor profile. The strain won third place for "Best Personal Sungrown" strain during the Emerald Cannabis Cup Awards in 2018, which is a testament to the phenomenal outdoor results you can expect when growing Cherry Punch. The strain combines the best attributes of its parent strains: Cherry AK-47 is a Sativa-dominant hybrid known for its uplifting and energetic effects with a sweet and fruity aroma with spicy undertones, while Purple Punch F2 is an Indica-dominant hybrid famous for its relaxation properties with a sweet and fruity taste featuring grape and berry notes.
