Chirimoya
Chirimoya
Also known as: Cherimoya (similar but different strain)
Overview
Chirimoya is an indica-dominant cannabis strain developed by Kannabia Seeds, created through crossing three legendary strains: Shiva, Northern Lights, and Jack Herer. This complex genetic background combines the relaxing properties of Northern Lights and Shiva with the uplifting characteristics of Jack Herer, resulting in an indica-leaning hybrid with balanced effects. The strain was developed in Spain and represents an older-school breeding approach using established genetics from the cannabis cultivation heritage.
It's important to note that there is a separate, similarly-named strain called "Cherimoya" (spelled differently) that is a modern fruit-forward hybrid created by crossing Gelato 41 and Mai Tai #4. While both strains share similar pronunciation and are named after tropical fruits, they are genetically distinct cultivars with different effects and characteristics. The Kannabia Seeds Chirimoya remains less documented in contemporary cannabis databases, with limited user reviews and detailed analysis available compared to its modern namesake.

Growing Information
Chirimoya is classified as an indica strain suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The flowering time is approximately 8 weeks (56 days) indoors, making it a relatively quick-finishing strain compared to sativa-dominant varieties. For outdoor cultivation, harvest typically occurs in mid-September. The strain demonstrates typical indica growth characteristics with sturdy plant structure. Kannabia Seeds originally offered this strain as regular (non-feminized) seeds only. Limited growing information is available due to the strain's older heritage and reduced commercial availability compared to modern cultivars.
