Cheetah Rita

Cheetah Rita is a evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain that has quietly built a dedicated following. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 12-18% on average, with 0.3% CBD. Seeds come in regular form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

The Cheetah Rita high balances both sides of its lineage: a happy head buzz up front, and a soothing physical warmth that follows a few minutes behind. The handoff between head and body is seamless, making it easy to dose for either a productive afternoon or a slow evening. These combined effects make Cheetah Rita a frequent pick among patients dealing with chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

Cheetah Rita has a mouth-filling sweet and citrus flavor that lingers on the tongue long after the exhale, with an aroma to match that grows sharper as the buds are broken apart. The smoke is smooth on the inhale with a citrus finish that builds the longer the session runs. This bud has compact rounded dense green nugs with rich blue-purple undertones, thin orange hairs and a sticky layer of golden-white trichomes.

In the garden, Cheetah Rita is a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them, flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks and performing well indoors or outdoors. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider Rita family — see Pina Rita and Rita's Cherry for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
