How to grow Cherry Bomb Auto
Taste
Seb's take
Cherry Bomb crossed with Siberian Ruderalis for an autoflowering version that resists mould and pests admirably, though she takes stress personally — low-stress training only. Sweet, fruity and berry-toned on the nose; the effect is relaxed, happy and genuinely medicinal. Done and harvested in 70-75 days.
Where it comes from
Bomb Seeds crossed their Cherry Bomb with Siberian Ruderalis to make this autoflowering version, trading a little size for speed and hardiness. The Siberian Ruderalis lends robust genetics and excellent resistance to mould and pests; the Cherry Bomb side keeps the sweet, fruity character intact. A sensible autoflowering rendering of the original, built to shrug off the conditions that trouble softer plants.
Nose & flavour
The nose is sweet and fruity, berry-forward, carrying the cherry character of the parent line across into the autoflower. It is a bright, dessert-like aroma, the fruit doing the talking without much funk to complicate it. A pleasant, approachable nose that makes her easy company from jar to smoke.
The high
The effect is relaxed and happy, a settled, comfortable experience that eases the shoulders without overwhelming them. It is an agreeable, even-tempered sort of high, warm and unhurried, the kind that suits a quiet evening. Gentle enough to enjoy without ceremony, and pleasant company throughout.
Growing it
An autoflower, and an incredibly simple one to grow, with a compact frame between 50 and 80cm. Her robust Ruderalis genetics give excellent resistance to mould and pests, though like all autoflowers she takes stress personally, so stick to low-stress techniques such as LST or gentle defoliation if you train her at all. She is done in 70 to 75 days from germination, with indoor yields of 350 to 450 g/m² or around 300g per plant outdoors. A forgiving, quick grow that suits a beginner well.
