Wild Cherry
Also known as: Wild Cherry by Seeds of Compassion
Overview
Wild Cherry is an indica-dominant cannabis strain created through crossing Trainwreck and Cherry Thunderfuck (also known as Cherry Thunder Fuck or Novocaine Spike to the Head). Bred by Seeds of Compassion, Wild Cherry was developed specifically to act as a painkiller against migraines. This strain is particularly celebrated for its 3:1 CBD:THC ratio, making it an accessible option for novice cannabis users and a versatile choice for those seeking therapeutic benefits. The strain boasts predominantly indica heritage, lending a sedative, calming effect that appeals to users worldwide. There are also other phenotypes of Wild Cherry with different genetics, including a balanced hybrid that combines Black Cherry Soda and Cherry AK-47, and a sativa-dominant version (75% sativa/25% indica), showing the diversity within this strain name. Visually, Wild Cherry is as striking as its name suggests, boasting vibrant hues of deep greens accented with hints of purple and subtle red stems. Each bud exhibits a dense structure with ample trichome coverage, giving it a frosted, sparkly appearance reminiscent of a cherry kissed by dew.

Growing Information
Wild Cherry has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks, with some phenotypes requiring up to 77 days (±11 weeks) for full maturation. The strain is considered easy to cultivate with moderate difficulty and thrives in continental climates, flourishing both indoors and outdoors, reaching manageable heights of 0-4 feet. Outdoor cultivation yields around 400 grams per plant with harvests expected by October, while indoor growers can expect approximately 300 grams per square meter. Under optimal conditions, yields can range between 400-500 grams per plant. When grown in controlled environments, Wild Cherry demonstrates resilience and robust growth patterns, thriving in both hydroponic setups and traditional soil mediums. Indoor growers should provide high-intensity discharge (HID) or LED lighting for optimal bud development and higher yields.
