Is Cherry Garcia strain an Indica or Sativa?

Cherry Garcia is a 50/50 hybrid of 3X Crazy and Animal Cookies. You will stimulate your appetite with this strain so keep some snacks available. Expect a wave of relaxation along with your mood being improved. 

3X Crazy is an Indica-dominant hybrid of legendary strains in OG Kush, Bubba Kush, and Granddaddy Purple. Expect this strain to completely turn a bad mood around in a matter of minutes. You could be sedated if you overconsume but at only 18 percent THC, you are likely to experience a great relaxing body high. 

Animal Cookies is another strain with massive genetics as it is a child strain of Fire OG and Girl Scout Cookies. The strain can be extremely potent with 27 percent THC. You will be relaxed with all negative thoughts rushing out of your mind but this strain should be consumed at night or for a lazy day.

Yield Of The Cherry Garcia Strain

Cherry Garcia is not very easy to grow so only experienced growers should take on this challenge. The strain can be grown indoors or outdoors although outdoor grows have higher yields.

Outdoors you can expect up to 20 ounces per plant. Indoors will yield around 2 ounces per square foot if grown in an optimal environment. 

Finding cuttings is going to be very important with this strain as finding seeds could prove impossible. Breeding your own Cherry Garcia is another option although it might take a few generations to get the genetics you want. 

Cherry Garcia Pot Strain Flowering Time

The flowering phase of Cherry Garcia lasts 50 to 60 days. The yield is very healthy considering there are flowering periods that last weeks longer with far lower yields.

The strain’s appearance is dark green nugs with orange hairs. There is a decent covering of white trichomes giving the buds a nice frosty look. 

Growing this strain with others that thrive in similar environments can help maximize your grow’s overall yield. Grow tents are easy to control the variables that impact the overall quality of the bud grown. Outdoors you will have to find strains that thrive in your local climate. 

THC Content Of The Cherry Garcia Strain

Cherry Garcia has a THC content with a range of 18 to 22 percent. Smoke this strain after you’ve had a bad day as it is likely to put you at ease. Stress can melt away with some people finding this strain helps them fall asleep. 

Flavor And Aroma Of The Cherry Garcia Marijuana Strain

The flavor of Cherry Garcia is fruity and nutty. The aroma is a strong essence of diesel and pine. The dominant terpenes in this strain are Linalool, Eucalyptol, and Myrcene. 

Linalool has an aroma of flowers which can lend itself to relaxing a consumer. Famous strains like Trainwreck and Zkittlez both have high levels of this terp. Expect to find relief from pain, depression, anxiety, and stress. 

Eucalyptol has an aroma of mint which is quite pleasing. The terpene has been studied and has shown promise in improving memory and combatting cancer cells. London Pound Cake and Animal Face are two strains with this less than common terpene.

Myrcene is the terpene you’ll want to consume when you want to relax fully. The earthy taste is recognizable in some strains like Sour Diesel and Gorilla Glue #4.

Price Of Cherry Garcia Marijuana

Cherry Garcia is moderately priced at around $45 to $50 per 1/8th of an ounce. The full ounce is going to run you around $300 to $320. This does depend on which company grew the strain along with the dispensary you are purchasing from. 

Weed delivery can be very convenient and can help you avoid the temptation of purchasing too much. The dispensary can be like a toy store for kids with you wanting nearly everything you see. 

Cherry Garcia Seeds 

Cherry Garcia weed seeds are going to be very difficult to find. North Atlantic Seed Bank and Neptune Seed Bank carry these seeds but they sell out almost immediately when available. The fact that mailing marijuana seeds is illegal is enough to steer you away from ordering seeds online. 

A dispensary can be a huge help as can fellow growers. You want to acquire seeds legally to avoid potential legal issues on the federal level. 

Medical Conditions This Strain Can Help

Cannabis is so versatile when it comes to alleviating certain symptoms of medical conditions. The benefits vary widely with a number of the body’s systems impacted. Cherry Garcia can help with the following medical conditions:
