How to grow Cherry Gar-see-yaa
Taste
Seb's take
Three cherry lines and a citrus one converge here, however you choose to pronounce her name. Earth, citrus and berry on the nose, resin thick enough to notice; the high opens creative and uplifting before easing you toward sleep. A dessert built by committee, and none the worse for it.
Where it comes from
Ethos Genetics built this one from three cherry-leaning lines and a citrus one: Black Cherry Soda, Cherry Maduro and Mandarin Sunset. She inherits the candy-like nature of the first, the rich fruitiness of the second and the citrusy pucker of the third, a 60% indica, 40% sativa hybrid assembled for depth of flavour above all. A dessert built by committee, however you choose to pronounce her name, and none the worse for the crowd of parents behind her.
Nose & flavour
The nose is a layered affair, earthy at the base with citrus lift and a ripe berry sweetness over the top. It is depth personified, in the breeder's own phrase, candy and fruit and pucker woven together and carried on a highly resinous, sparkly flower. A rich, complex aroma that rewards a slow appreciation and lives up to the pedigree behind it.
The high
The effect delivers both creative energy and deep relaxation, opening uplifting and creative before easing steadily toward sleep. It has a genuine arc to it, bright and engaged at first, softening into rest as the evening goes on. A well-rounded experience that starts in the head and finishes in the armchair, in the best way.
Growing it
Feminized, flowering across a tidy 56 to 63 days, and highly resinous, an ultra-performing flower with real bag appeal. The record praises the yield as heavy but gives no firm figure, so I will let the description stand rather than invent one; expect a generous return in keeping with an Ethos flagship. No final height is stated either, so read her by disposition: a well-built, frost-heavy plant that rewards a grower after flavour and resin. Keep your scissors clean through what will be a sticky trim.
