Cherry 18
Cherry 18
Also known as: Cherry Kiss, Cherry #18
Overview
Cherry 18 is an indica-dominant hybrid strain developed by Crockett Family Farms in collaboration with DNA Genetics, created from a cross between Cherry Pie and The OG 18 (a selection of OG Kush). This strain was bred by Crockett, a master breeder who also created the legendary Tangie strain and is known for his rare skill in developing award-winning cannabis genetics. The strain presents as a 75/25 indica-sativa hybrid with feminized seeds available.
The strain is characterized by its complex genetic lineage that combines the sweet, bakery-like qualities of Cherry Pie with the potent, fuel-like characteristics of The OG 18. Cherry 18 features an intense fruity aroma with exotic fuel notes, producing hearty, dense buds with a heavy-hitting high. The terpene profile creates those sweet bakery smells from the Cherry Pie parent and the funky tang from the OG #18, fusing into a sweet and sour overload of taste. This strain is particularly prized by extraction artists due to its over-the-top resin production that coats the flower tops from early in development.

Growing Information
Cherry 18 has a moderately easy growing difficulty with a short flowering time averaging 8-9 weeks from germination. The strain produces uniform plants with flexible branches that yield bountiful harvests and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation or greenhouse growing. Indoor yields can reach up to 500g per m², while outdoor cultivation in proper conditions can produce as high as 600g per plant. Indoor flowering period is 55-60 days, with outdoor harvest typically occurring in mid-October. The plants grow vigorously and develop compact, medium-sized plants with impressive structure due to the way side branches grow and join together, making it excellent for advanced growing techniques like SoG (Sea of Green).
