Cherry Strains

What Makes a Cherry Strain?

The defining feature of a cherry strain is its terpene profile. Cherry genetics express a tart-sweet cherry profile, which comes through strongest when flowers are dried slowly and cured for three to four weeks in sealed jars. Rushed drying strips the volatile terpenes that carry the aroma, so even the right genetics underperform without a proper cure. When shopping cherry seeds, look at the dominant terpenes listed on each strain page, not just the name, since marketing names don't always match the real aromatic profile.
