Smelly Cherry
Also known as: Cherry Smell, Cherry Funk
Smelly Cherry Strain Overview
Smelly Cherry is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained attention for its distinctive aromatic profile and balanced effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, but it appears to have emerged from underground breeding circles in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States during the early 2010s. Breeders reportedly sought to combine the fruity characteristics of cherry-forward varieties with particularly pungent, fuel-like strains to create something both aromatic and potent. The strain remains relatively rare in commercial markets but has developed a cult following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique sensory characteristics.
The plant typically displays dense, conical buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica heritage. The flowers are often a vibrant green with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions, complemented by a generous coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the dense flower structure, creating visual contrast. The most notable feature, as the name suggests, is its powerful aroma that combines sweet, fruity notes with deeper, gassy undertones.
Smelly Cherry represents a relatively modern development in cannabis breeding, reflecting the trend toward creating strains with complex terpene profiles rather than simply maximizing THC content. While not as widely documented as mainstream commercial strains, it has been preserved and circulated within specialty growing communities. The strain's limited commercial availability means most information comes from grower reports and enthusiast forums rather than formal laboratory studies or widespread consumer testing.

Smelly Cherry Strain Growing Information
Smelly Cherry is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to maximize its potential. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields with proper care, while outdoor plants in optimal conditions can produce substantial harvests. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, making them suitable for limited spaces. Special considerations include the need for good ventilation due to the strain's particularly strong odor during flowering, and some growers report that it benefits from slightly lower temperatures during the final weeks to enhance coloration. The plant responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to improve light penetration and yield.
