Cherry Poppers
Also known as: Cherry Popperz, Cherry Popper
Overview
Cherry Poppers is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (60% sativa/40% indica) created through crossing Lemon Kush and Cherry Zkittlez genetics. This sophisticated fusion combines the citrus-forward profile of Lemon Kush with the sweet berry characteristics of Cherry Zkittlez, resulting in a cultivar with impressive potency levels ranging from 20% to 31% THC. The strain emerged during the late 2010s and early 2020s wave of dessert-forward hybrids, when breeders prioritized fruit-candy aromatics without sacrificing potency.
Visually, Cherry Poppers produces fluffy, oversized popcorn-shaped buds with dark olive green coloring and deep purple undertones. The flowers are characterized by thin orange hairs and a dense coating of chunky, purple-tinted white crystal trichomes that create a crystalline appearance. The buds demonstrate ideal calyx-to-leaf ratios, facilitating efficient processing at harvest. The strain's appearance is enhanced by its pronounced trichome production, making it visually striking and appealing to cannabis connoisseurs seeking premium flower with exceptional bag appeal.

Growing Information
Cherry Poppers is considered moderate difficulty to grow and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The flowering time is 60-65 days (8-9 weeks) for complete maturation. Indoor plants reach 100-120cm in height and can yield up to 600-650g/m² under optimal conditions. Outdoor specimens can grow up to 200cm tall and produce yields of up to 1000-2000g per plant when properly maintained. Outdoor harvest occurs in the first two weeks of October. The strain responds well to various training techniques including SCROG, SOG, topping, and LST. It requires adequate ventilation and humidity control to prevent mold and mildew due to its high trichome production. The plants prefer warm, Mediterranean-style climates with temperatures between 68-80°F and relative humidity of 40-50%.
