Black Cherry Punch is a predominantly indica hybrid, combining Blackberry Kush with Cherry Pie for a mix that leans roughly nine parts indica to one part sativa. Its background lies in Californian breeding, and it carries a richly fruity character. Flowers tend towards violet and deep purple shades, while the cherry-pie aroma is layered with berry, earthy, woody and pastry notes. Myrcene, caryophyllene and limonene are the dominant terpenes. The stated THC level is 25 per cent, with CBD described as low. The experience opens with a bright, euphoric lift and settles into a heavy, comfortable body feel that becomes more sedating at higher doses. Indoors it finishes in around 60 days, or about 53 under LED, and the breeder quotes yields of up to 950 to 1,000 grams per 1.5 square metres under a 720 W LED. Outdoors it is ready in September across the northern hemisphere, with 0.75 to 1 kilogram per plant. Grow difficulty is rated moderate, making it a steady choice for keen growers.
