Cherry Spice
Also known as: Cherry Spice OG
Cherry Spice Strain Overview
Cherry Spice is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its distinctive flavor profile and balanced effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat uncertain, but it appears to have emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2010s, likely as a cross between Cherry Pie and a spicy OG Kush variant. Breeders sought to combine the sweet berry notes of Cherry Pie with the classic earthy, piney characteristics of OG Kush, resulting in a strain that offers both recreational appeal and potential therapeutic benefits.
The plant typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a striking appearance. The flowers display a range of green hues, often with purple undertones that become more pronounced during cooler growing conditions. Bright orange pistils weave through the buds, and a generous coating of trichomes gives them a frosty, crystalline appearance. The strain's name accurately reflects its sensory profile, with both aroma and flavor featuring prominent cherry notes complemented by spicy, herbal undertones.
Cherry Spice is known for its relatively balanced genetic profile, typically leaning slightly toward indica dominance. This balance makes it versatile for various consumption times, though many users prefer it for evening use due to its relaxing properties. The strain has maintained a consistent presence in dispensaries and among home growers, particularly appreciated by those who enjoy flavorful cannabis with moderate potency. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Cherry Spice has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities.

Cherry Spice Strain Growing Information
Cherry Spice is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The plants tend to maintain a medium height, making them manageable for indoor cultivation with proper training techniques. They respond well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods. Cherry Spice prefers a stable environment with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold development. Some phenotypes may display purple coloration when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures during the final weeks of flowering. Regular pruning and adequate airflow are recommended to support healthy bud development.
