Also known as: Cherry Gar See Ya, Cherry GarSeeYa, Cherry Gar See Ya!, Cherry Garcia R1
Overview
Cherry Gar-See-Ya is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created by Ethos Genetics through a three-way cross of Black Cherry Soda, Cherry Maduro, and Mandarin Sunset. Named as a playful nod to the Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream flavor, this strain emerged during the early 2000s cannabis cultivation boom when breeders sought to develop strains with precise phenotype control that could serve both recreational and medicinal purposes. The strain is renowned for its distinctive cherry-forward flavor profile combined with complex aromatic layers and reliable effects.
Cherry Gar-See-Ya plants typically display dense, resinous buds with abundant trichome coverage and a tendency to express purple coloration under cooler conditions. The strain produces chunky, baseball-sized nugs with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio and requires minimal trimming due to its naturally low leaf production. Plants exhibit medium internodal spacing with some stretch potential, making them suitable for various training techniques. The strain maintains a relatively compact stature indoors (0-4 feet) while reaching medium height outdoors (5-8 feet), demonstrating excellent adaptability to different growing environments.

Growing Information
Cherry Gar-See-Ya is considered beginner-friendly with a moderate difficulty level. Indoor flowering time is 8-9 weeks (56-63 days), while outdoor plants finish in early to mid-season (mid-October). Expected yields are above average, with indoor plants producing up to 500g/m² and outdoor plants capable of yielding up to 750g per plant. The strain prefers warm, sunny conditions outdoors but adapts well to indoor cultivation. Plants benefit from training techniques like LST (Low Stress Training) or SCROG (Screen of Green) to maximize yields. Good airflow is essential to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure. The strain exhibits excellent resin production and responds well to proper nutrient feeding schedules.
