Very Cherry
Very Cherry
Overview
Very Cherry is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Humboldt Seed Company, created by crossing Lemon Kush BX3 with a strain from an old-time Humboldt grower known as 'Old Timer'. The strain was first introduced to the cannabis community on April 2, 2019, marking a significant milestone in modern breeding innovations. With genetics of approximately 30% indica and 70% sativa, Very Cherry represents a masterful combination of old-school vigor and modern breeding techniques.
This strain has gained widespread recognition for its exceptional terpene production and aromatic qualities. It produces record amounts of terpenes in extraction and is considered one of the best-smelling varieties created by Humboldt Seed Company, which is particularly notable given their creation of other aromatic strains like Blueberry Muffins. Very Cherry emerges with an intense, sweet cherry aroma that tastes as tangy as it smells, complemented by slight floral and jasmine scents, with buds displaying a light green color.
The strain is likely to produce around 18% THC but is incredibly loud and unique, bred from seeds passed down by a local old-timer who found a plant that smelled just like cherry cough drops. Perfect for sauce and terpene-forward projects, this strain delivers a lofty, non-debilitating high that makes it suitable for both novice and experienced users seeking a functional daytime experience.

Growing Information
Very Cherry is a mostly sativa strain that can be cultivated indoors, outdoors, and in greenhouse environments with a flowering time of approximately 50 days (7-8 weeks). Outdoor harvest typically occurs between September 20 - October 5. Growing this strain is considered moderately difficult as it is susceptible to temperature fluctuations and external influences, with flowering period lasting 55-63 days. Growers should maintain temperatures between 70°F-80°F and humidity levels not exceeding 50% during flowering, with the strain thriving under both indoor and outdoor conditions though indoor cultivation allows better environmental control. Expected yields can reach 550g/plant outdoors and 400g/m² indoors with proper care, and plants can grow up to 80 inches tall. The strain is moderately difficult to grow - forgiving but not autopilot, making it suitable for intermediate to advanced growers.
