Cherry Slam Strain Overview
Cherry Slam is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed through selective breeding to combine desirable traits from its parent strains. The strain emerged in the early 2010s from American breeders seeking to create a flavorful, potent hybrid with balanced effects. While its exact breeding history isn't fully documented in public records, it has gained popularity in both medical and recreational cannabis markets for its distinctive characteristics.
The strain is noted for its visually striking appearance, featuring dense, conical buds with deep purple and forest green coloration, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance. Cherry Slam's name derives from its prominent cherry aroma, which is complemented by subtle earthy and floral undertones. The strain typically produces medium to tall plants with good lateral branching, making it suitable for various cultivation methods.
Cherry Slam is recognized for its well-balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. The strain has become particularly popular among users seeking relief from stress and discomfort while maintaining functional clarity. Its consistent performance and appealing sensory profile have contributed to its steady presence in dispensaries across legal markets, though it remains less documented than some mainstream commercial strains.

Cherry Slam Strain Growing Information
Cherry Slam is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. 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 in both indoor and outdoor environments, preferring a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium to tall heights (1.2-1.8 meters) and benefit from training techniques like topping or SCROG to manage height and improve light penetration. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds and providing adequate support for the weighty colas.
