Grow Tips & What We Love Most
If there’s one thing we love about Artic Cherries, it’s how those dense, icy buds look like they've been pulled straight out of a high-end dispensary photo shoot.
It's the kind of plant you stop and admire every time you walk past the grow tent.
To get the most out of these marijuana seeds, we recommend keeping temperatures cool, especially at night, to really push those deep purple tones to the surface.
This strain performs best in temperate to slightly warm climates—somewhere between 20–26°C (68–79°F) does the trick nicely.
It adapts well to both indoor and outdoor setups, though we prefer indoors where you can really control humidity and airflow for those heavy, resin-coated flowers.
She's not too picky, but she does like stability—avoid drastic shifts in temperature or overfeeding her, and she'll pay you back with a frosty bounty.
In terms of pest resistance, Artic Cherries holds her ground pretty well, especially against mold and common fungal problems, thanks to those dense, resin-packed flowers and tight structure.
Still, good ventilation is key to avoiding unwanted moisture buildup around those chunky buds.
We’ve found that she takes well to topping and SCROG setups, responding with a nice even canopy and better light penetration.
As for difficulty level, we’d put her somewhere in the intermediate zone—easy enough for a grower with a couple of runs under their belt, but rewarding enough for the experienced connoisseur too.
It’s the perfect strain if you want something that looks premium, grows with attitude, and turns heads in the jar.
