Chilled Cherry
Also known as: Chilled Cherry OG, Cherry Chill
Chilled Cherry Strain Overview
Chilled Cherry is a relatively modern indica-dominant hybrid strain that emerged in the early 2010s from boutique breeders in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain was specifically developed to combine the relaxing physical effects of classic indica genetics with the distinctive cherry flavor profile that has become increasingly popular among cannabis connoisseurs. While its exact breeding history remains somewhat proprietary, it represents a continuation of the trend toward flavor-focused indica varieties that began gaining prominence in the late 2000s.
The strain is characterized by its dense, conical buds that display a striking color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, often accentuated by vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty appearance that hints at its potency. The buds typically have a tight, compact structure common to indica varieties, with leaves that curl inward slightly as they mature. When properly cured, the flowers maintain a firm yet slightly spongy texture that breaks apart easily.
Notable features of Chilled Cherry include its pronounced cherry aroma with subtle earthy undertones, which becomes more complex upon combustion. The strain has gained particular attention for its balanced effects that provide substantial physical relaxation without excessive sedation, making it suitable for evening use. Its consistent performance and distinctive flavor profile have contributed to its growing popularity in both medical and recreational markets, though it remains more commonly available in dispensaries in legal states than as a widely distributed seed variety.

Chilled Cherry Strain Growing Information
Chilled Cherry is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a typical flowering time of 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests usually 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, though it prefers a controlled indoor setting where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors, with outdoor specimens sometimes growing taller. Chilled Cherry responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and manage height.
Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow around the dense buds to prevent mold, particularly in the final weeks of flowering. The plants prefer a consistent nutrient regimen with slightly higher phosphorus levels during flowering to support bud development. Some phenotypes may display purple coloration in cooler nighttime temperatures, which is considered desirable by many cultivators.
