Cherry Kush

Cherry Kush takes Cherry Pie, itself Granddaddy Purple and Durban Poison, and crosses it with an OG Kush line. The aim was dessert fruit with classic fuel. Our record lists Afghani, Hindu Kush, Lemon Thai, OG Kush, Purple Afghani and Purple Kush as parents, a more Kush-and-Afghani-heavy picture than the Cherry Pie account.

So treat the exact cross as generally credited rather than certain. Crushed has it as a hybrid with a single THC reading of 20%. Limonene, caryophyllene and myrcene are named without percentages.

Flavor tags are rich: berry, cherry, citrus, fruity, sweet and tropical. Effect tags include euphoria, happy, hungry, relaxing and sleepy, which points toward an evening profile and a healthy appetite. Cherry candy and berry on top with diesel, earth and pine underneath is how tasters tend to describe it, a combination that appeals to anyone who wants sweetness without losing an OG backbone.

Sleepy is on the list, so schedule it for later in the day. As with most Kush crosses, begin with a small amount and let it build.
