Cherry Ripple
Also known as: Cherry Ripple OG
What is the Cherry Ripple strain?
Cherry Ripple is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and cherry flavor profile.
Cherry Ripple is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain was developed by crossing Cherry Pie with an unknown OG Kush phenotype, though some sources suggest it may involve additional genetics. Breeders aimed to create a strain that combined the sweet, fruity characteristics of Cherry Pie with the potent, relaxing effects of OG Kush varieties. The strain gained popularity in medical and recreational markets for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile.
Cherry Ripple plants typically display dense, conical buds with a structure that leans slightly toward indica dominance. The flowers are characterized by deep green foliage with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler temperatures. Bright orange pistils weave through the buds, and a generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty appearance. The strain's name derives from its visual resemblance to cherry ripple ice cream and its prominent cherry aroma.
Notable features include its complex terpene profile that produces a sweet, fruity aroma with earthy undertones. The strain has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its consistent quality and reliable effects. While not as widely available as some mainstream strains, Cherry Ripple maintains a dedicated following in regions where it's cultivated, particularly in legal markets on the West Coast of the United States.

How do you grow Cherry Ripple?
Cherry Ripple 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 harvest by mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well both indoors and outdoors but thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be managed. Plants reach a medium height of 120-150 cm indoors and up to 180 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures (68-80°F/20-27°C) and moderate humidity (40-50% during flowering) to prevent mold. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Outdoor cultivation is best in Mediterranean or similar climates with consistent warm temperatures.
