Cherry 18

Cherry 18 is a pure sativa strain that has quietly built a dedicated following. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 21-27% on average, with 0.5% CBD. It is sold as regular seeds, and it remains one of the most requested cuts in its class year after year.

The Cherry 18 high hits fast and heady — a bright, clear-eyed lift that fuels conversation, ideas and forward momentum, with only a light touch of physical relaxation underneath. A soft physical ease settles in beneath the head high, smoothing out the energy so it never turns jittery or racy. These combined effects make Cherry 18 a frequent pick among patients dealing with chronic fatigue and low mood, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

On the palate, expect berry up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. The smoke is smooth on the inhale with a berry finish that builds the longer the session runs. This bud has compact rounded vivid green nugs with warm amber tones, rust-colored hairs and a fine dusting of milky white trichomes.

For growers, Cherry 18 offers an easy, forgiving grow that suits first-time cultivators — expect plants flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks, at home indoors or outdoors. It shrugs off common beginner mistakes, and yields stay respectable even when conditions are less than perfect. 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 Cherry family — see Cherry Brandy and Cherry Breath for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
