How to grow Cherry Grapefruit
Taste
Seb's take
Four old-guard names — Chemdawg, Sour Diesel, OG Kush, White Widow — went into this one, and the sweetness of the grapefruit somehow survived the crowd. Tropical and sweet on the nose; the high runs creative and focused before settling into a relaxed close. Give her the headroom; this is an indica-dominant hybrid that forgets to stop growing upward.
Where it comes from
Kera Seeds assembled Cherry Grapefruit from a proper roll-call of old-guard names: Chemdawg, Sour Diesel, OG Kush and White Widow. Four heavyweight lines went into this indica-dominant hybrid, 60% indica to 40% sativa, and somehow the sweetness of the grapefruit survived the crowd. It is a plant built on serious pedigree, the sort of genetic committee that could easily have overwhelmed itself, and instead kept its poise.
Nose & flavour
The nose is sweet and tropical, brighter and fruitier than a lineage of Chemdawg and Sour Diesel might lead you to expect. The grapefruit character comes through clearly, a fresh, zesty sweetness rather than the fuel-heavy funk of her parents. A pleasant surprise of a nose, given the company she keeps, and an easy one to enjoy.
The high
The effect runs creative and focused before settling into a relaxed close, a happy, engaged experience that eases rather than flattens. It keeps the mind sharp at the outset and lets the body soften as it goes, with over 20% THC behind it. A well-balanced high with a clear arc, lively first and calming after.
Growing it
Feminized, and a plant that forgets to stop growing upward, so give her the headroom; this indica-dominant hybrid stretches enough that a two-week vegetative time is plenty before the flip. She reaches 90 to 150cm, flowering in around nine weeks, or 63 days, with a canopy that sparkles with more buds than you might think possible. No firm yield figure is given, so read her by that dense, generous canopy. A rewarding grow for anyone with the vertical space to let her run.
