Cherry Mandarin Kush
Also known as: CMK
Cherry Mandarin Kush Strain Overview
Cherry Mandarin Kush is an F1 polyhybrid cannabis strain created in 2022 by Top Boy Genetics, a New Zealand-based breeder located in West Auckland. This hybrid was developed through the crossing of TopBoy's Cherry Afghani (which itself is a cross of In-House Genetics' Sweet Cherry Pie and a pure indica Afghani plant called Pink Pistol) with TopBoy's Taniwha Zkittles. The strain produces both indica and sativa-leaning phenotypes, creating a diverse genetic expression within the same seed line. The breeder has over 20 years of growing experience and has been actively breeding since 2019, focusing on creating unique polyhybrid crosses that combine fruity flavor profiles with robust effects. Cherry Mandarin Kush represents a modern approach to cannabis breeding, combining cherry-forward genetics with citrus and candy-like flavors from the Zkittles lineage, resulting in a complex terpene profile that appeals to both recreational users seeking flavorful smoke and cultivators looking for vigorous hybrid genetics.

Cherry Mandarin Kush can be cultivated indoors, outdoors, and in greenhouse environments. Indoor flowering time ranges from 8-10 weeks (56-70 days), with expected yields of 500-600 grams per square meter. The strain is available only as regular (non-feminized) seeds and is considered to have easy to medium cultivation difficulty. As an F1 polyhybrid, it produces both indica and sativa-leaning phenotypes, requiring phenotype selection for consistent traits. The plant structure varies based on the phenotype expression, with some leaning more towards the stocky Cherry Afghani parent and others showing more stretch from the Zkittles genetics.
