Sour Cherry
Sour Cherry
Also known as: Sour Cherries, Chilled Cherries
Overview
Sour Cherry is a hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing Cherry Pie and Sour Diesel, though multiple versions exist from different breeders including Breeders Boutique and TreeTown Seeds. The strain typically has an average THC content around 20%, though some phenotypes can reach up to 27-28% THC. Despite its name suggesting sweet fruity aromas, Sour Cherry is actually a pungent, diesel-smelling strain with sour notes rather than the sweet cherry aroma one might expect. Visually, Sour Cherry exhibits striking characteristics that set it apart from other strains, with dense, moderately sized buds often covered in a thick layer of resin that sparkles under light. The strain's genetics are approximately 60-80% sativa-dominant with 20-40% indica traits, designed to deliver both energizing cerebral effects and physically soothing experiences. The various phenotypes have established themselves among cannabis connoisseurs for their unique sensory profiles and balanced effects, making them versatile choices for both recreational and medicinal users.

Growing Information
Flowering time is typically 8-9 weeks (56-70 days). Indoor heights reach 5-8 feet with yields of 17-21 oz/m² indoors and around 500 grams (17.6 oz) per plant outdoors. Some phenotypes can yield up to 600g/m² following roughly 63-68 days of flowering. The strain is moderately challenging to grow but highly rewarding when best practices are followed, requiring temperatures between 68-78°F (20-26°C) and relative humidity between 40-50% during flowering. The sativa-dominant genetics benefit from generous ventilation and space due to potential for tall growth, with techniques like low-stress training (LST) helping manage height and promote even light exposure.
