The links to the sativa leaning Diesel are easily discernible in the terpene profile, while Durban and Haze pass on their genetics in both taste and effects. The traits of the indica lineage from Hindu Kush and OG Kush are most noticeable in the morphology and the soothing body stone that rounds out the overall effect.

Development of Sweet Cherry Kush

Sweet Cherry Kush seeds are grown on hemp plants that represent 60% of their indica lineage. The lush green foliage covers the sturdy frame, which reaches a medium stature by the time of harvest. The compact stem spacing and sturdy branches produce numerous heavy buds that are stacked on this bushy plant. Defoliation will help prevent moist air pockets around the buds and within the canopy.

Sweet Cherry Kush is a feminized variety. Growers with limited time and space will appreciate the ability to reliably know that all seeds will be flowering when grown. Sweet Cherry Kush flowering times are closely related to the flowering times of indica progeny. The typical flowering period is 55-60 days before it is ready for harvest.

All indoor and outdoor growers in sunny, Mediterranean climates will be able to successfully grow Sweet Cherry Kush. Under the right conditions, this plant can reach 120-140 cm indoors and an astonishing 180 cm or more outdoors.

Yields are high under optimal conditions for Sweet Cherry Kush. Indoor growers have recorded 500-550 grams per square meter indoors, while outdoor growers are seeing over 600 grams per plant. This plant is suitable for SOG, SCROG, Supercropping and Lollipopping techniques to maximize yields.

The bud formation on Sweet Cherry Kush consists of massive flowers with densely packed bracts. The buds form thicker colas, in contrast to the loose and airy Haze genetics of the lineage. The flowers are very resinous and the profusion of shiny heads of hairs seem to dance in the light. The buds are mostly dark green with tons of purple hues in the later stages of flowering.

Effects, taste and smell of Sweet Cherry Kush

The effects of Sweet Cherry Kush appear immediately. Happiness envelops the mind as the uplifting, cerebral effects shift the vibration of the day. Inspired for creative types, this strain may be the muse that growers seek. Along with all the happy effects for the mind, the body is not neglected. As the initial onset of Sweet Cherry Kush  fades, a soothing, weightless body stone covers the physical existence.

The flavors of Sweet Cherry Kush are a mishmash of elements rarely found in hemp flowers. Complex and conflicting flavors merge into one, yet remain recognizable. It is the taste of freshly cut cherries that is the first to stand out. A light pine and sandalwood taste temper the acidity of the cherries. Behind it all, refreshing notes of citrus and mint remain. It is a curious combination that creates a masterpiece for the mouth.

Sweet Cherry Kush also has a multi-layered terpene profile. As the nose passes over a vase of dried flower, the sweet and earthy aromas are the first to hit the senses. Very close to these is an overpowering diesel scent that almost burns the nose. As the burn subsides, just there to fill the void is a heavenly smell of freshly cut cherries. The combination of diesel and cherries is seductive.
