The Cherry Kola Strain: A Relaxing Pure Indica

Pop open a bottle of relaxation with the Cherry Kola strain. This 100% pure indica is the offspring of an Afghani landrace and also answers to the name Cherry Cola. Unlike its fizzy namesake, this pure indica is mellow and indulgent, rather than bubbly. When smoked, it serves up gentle happiness, while its THC levels of 16% add glimmers of psychoactivity to the relaxing high.

Growing Tips for Cherry Kola Seeds

As a pure indica strain, Cherry Kola is compact and sturdy, making it somewhat easier to manage than lankier, hybrid strains. It can be quite forgiving, even for beginners, but is especially well-suited to intermediate growers or those who are comfortable with basic plant training. Below, we cover some of the best ways to form a growing game plan and inspire your Cherry Kola seeds to grow into lush, resin-rich plants.

Dial In Your Growing Conditions

Emphasize High-Intensity Lighting for Dense Buds: Cherry Kola responds exceptionally well to high-intensity LED or HPS lighting, especially during the vegetative stage (18 hours/day). This lighting regime is crucial for maximizing the strain’s dense, resinous bud formation and vibrant cherry aroma—traits that set Cherry Kola apart from many other indica-dominant strains.

Try LST or SCROG: These methods each create a more even canopy, but in separate ways. While SCROG involves placing a net above your plants, encouraging outward growth, LST involves gently bending your plants’ branches and fastening them down, helping expose more of the plant itself, and in turn, light exposure.

Avoid Nitrogen Overfeeding During Flowering: This strain is especially sensitive to excess nitrogen, especially once the flowering stage begins. Growers can help prevent nutrient burn while preserving this strain’s signature flavor and potency by being ready to switch to phosphorus and potassium-rich nutrients as soon as your plants begin to bloom.

Germinating Your Cherry Kola Seeds

Even first-time growers can germinate their seeds with finesse by using our easy-to-follow germination guide. Begin by soaking your Cherry Kola seeds for up to 15 hours in a glass of water before placing them between two damp paper towels and storing them in a warm, dark space such as a drawer. Over the next 3-7 days, your seeds will sprout. When each taproot is at least ¼ inch long, your seedlings are ready to be planted.

Yields, Flowering Times, and Harvest

Indoor growers of Cherry Kola plants will enjoy up to 12 ounces of quality bud per square meter. Outdoor growers with ample space can anticipate yields of about 12 ounces from a single Cherry Kola plant.

When grown indoors, the Cherry Kola strain has a flowering period of approximately 50-60 days. Outdoor growers can anticipate a harvest in early October. Dominant Terpenes in Cherry Kola

Dominant Terpenes in Cherry Kola

The Cherry Kola strain offers a nostalgic hit of fizzy soda pop and alluring cherry flavors and scents. Candy-like and classic, its fragrance and taste are created by the interaction of three key terpenes, limonene, myrcene, and caryophyllene. This dynamic trio creates a berry-like essence with subtler notes of citrus and spice.

Dominant Cannabinoids in the Cherry Kola Strain

The psychoactive effects associated with THC include heightened or altered perceptions of sound, color, and taste. Time may also appear to move more slowly or quickly, depending on the individual.

While some higher-THC strains may be overwhelming, especially for less experienced cannabis users, Cherry Kola’s moderate THC levels of 16% sit comfortably in the middle. This means the high is certainly noticeable, but more approachable and generally less intense.
