Also known as: Mon Cherie, Mon Cheri OG
Mon Cheri Strain Overview
Mon Cheri is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its unique flavor profile and well-rounded effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with multiple breeders claiming development, though it is generally believed to have emerged in the early 2010s from California's cannabis breeding scene. The name 'Mon Cheri' (French for 'my darling') reflects the strain's appealing characteristics that have made it a favorite among connoisseurs.
The strain exhibits a distinctive appearance with dense, conical buds that display a vibrant green coloration accented by fiery orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance that hints at its potency. The plant structure tends to be moderately bushy with good lateral branching, making it suitable for various cultivation techniques including SCROG (Screen of Green) and LST (Low Stress Training).
Mon Cheri is particularly noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with deeper earthy undertones. The flavor experience evolves during consumption, often beginning with sweet berry notes that transition to more complex herbal and spicy flavors on the exhale. This strain has maintained a consistent presence in dispensaries despite not achieving mainstream celebrity status, valued for its reliable performance and enjoyable experience.

Mon Cheri Strain Growing Information
Mon Cheri is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown 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 plant prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Mon Cheri plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors if not trained. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds and providing adequate support during late flowering as the resinous buds can become heavy. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and benefits from a proper curing process to develop its full flavor profile.
