Black Cherry Punch: Like Cherry Candy
Black Cherry Punch seeds grow into super dark plants. The leaves are dark green, and the buds are a little lighter but still very dark for this kind of cannabis plant. It may appear as if the buds are blue, but a closer inspection will show that the crystal resin covering the buds is what gives them the blueish hue. This resinous goodness releases potent atoms that growers love. The harvested nuggets look nothing like the plant. These nuggets are mostly orange with a few green spots poking through. They are easy to break up and will leave your fingers sticky and covered in that powerful aroma. While information on the awards this strain has won isn’t available, we can assure you that the strain is popular among users and growers. It has tons of positive reviews online and has a reputation of being one of the strongest buds on the planet. Some strains don’t need awards to increase their demand, and this is one of them.
Growing Tips for Our Seeds
Black Cherry Punch can be grown by growers with experience bringing cannabis plants to harvest. The strain isn’t a great choice for first-time growers as it requires a lot of attention. Black Cherry Punch grows best in a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Black Cherry Punch plants love the outdoors but can be grown indoors as well. Indoors, you will need to dial in your conditions, while outdoors, all you need is sunlight and warmer temps to grow this strain to its full potential. If growing outdoors, pay attention to weather, insects, and any other factor that may damage or prevent the plant from growing to its full potential. Pay attention to the buds because they are at max potency when they are cloudy with a few amber colored trichomes. If you want a more calming effect, let more of the trichomes turn amber. Harvesting when the trichomes are mostly cloudy will give you more of an energetic buzz.
Dial in Your Growing Conditions
- Indoor or Outdoor: Black Cherry Punch cannabis plants can be grown indoors and outdoors by experienced growers. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 68-86 degrees Fahrenheit. The light requirement for this strain is 18-20 hours to ensure the proper time of growth. Approaching the flowering stage, you will want to switch to a 12/12 light cycle.
- Moisture control: For humidity, it is best to keep it around 40-50% through the entire grow. This humidity level will help the plants grow through the flowering stage without causing them to grow mold or mildew.
- Training Techniques: Low-stress training and topping are the best methods for this strain as they both require canopy adjustment so that the lower levels of the plant receive sunlight and air circulation. These methods will ultimately increase your yields and help with THC content once you are ready to harvest.
