Cherry Skunk
Cherry Skunk
Also known as: Cherry Skunk Plushie
Overview
Cherry Skunk is an indica-dominant hybrid strain created through crossing Skunk Dawg and Poppa Cherry. Though there appears to be some variation in reported lineage with different sources, the most consistent information indicates this genetic background. With THC levels ranging from 14% to 18% and up to 24% THC with 2% CBD in some phenotypes, Cherry Skunk offers a versatile experience suitable for both novice and experienced users. The strain is distinguished by its unique flavor profile that tastes exactly like its name suggests – sweet cherries and spicy skunk, while the aroma brings in earthy spices and herbs to complement the berry skunk overtone. Cherry Skunk buds feature round, super hairy dusty green nugs with fuzzy orange hairs and a thick blanket of tiny amber colored crystal trichomes. Despite its indica-dominant genetics, its psychedelic high is associated with an uplifting cerebral buzz that provides balanced effects between mental stimulation and physical relaxation. There is also a CBD-dominant version called Cherry Skunk CBD that is bred from Cherry Kush and Skunk #1 specifically for medical applications.

Growing Information
Cherry Skunk produces up to 12 ounces of buds per square meter indoors within 7 to 9 weeks flowering time. Outdoors, it typically produces more than 12 ounces of buds per plant. The strain features an indica-leaning structure that grows short and sturdy, with dense buds supported by strong lateral branches. Using the Sea of Green method can increase yields as its indica structure makes it naturally branchy. Growers in the northern hemisphere should expect flowering to begin before the second or third week of October. The strain is considered moderately easy to grow and adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments. Being naturally bushy, it may need trimming from time to time to maintain proper airflow and light penetration.
