Grow Tips & Our Favorite Things

Cherry Essence isn't the easiest strain to grow, but for those who love a challenge, it’s an incredibly rewarding one.

We always recommend growing her in a stable, well-controlled environment with precise control over temperature and humidity.

She thrives best in warm, dry climates where relative humidity stays consistent and doesn’t swing between extremes.

If you're growing indoors, make sure your LED lighting is top-notch and your air circulation stays smooth and steady from seed to harvest.

This strain can be sensitive to stress, so avoid aggressive defoliation or any high-impact training techniques.

She's not very tolerant of mistakes, so experience goes a long way here—every little detail counts with Cherry Essence.

It’s essential to prevent fluctuations in temperature—keep it around 24ºC (75.2ºF) during the day and no less than 18ºC (64.4ºF) at night.

She doesn’t enjoy changes in humidity either, so make sure your grow space stays consistent from start to finish.

When it comes to pests and mold, she’s moderately resistant, but not bulletproof—good airflow and clean conditions are your best defense.

We find that what truly makes Cherry Essence special is watching her bloom into a botanical masterpiece, layer by layer, like watching velvet unfold in slow motion.

Every plant brings its own little twist, but all share the same obsession with beauty, resin, and elegance.
