Cosmic Cherry

Cosmic Cherry or Hybrid is a strain that typically contains THC levels between 28% – 33% and CBD levels ranging from < 1%. Known for its Sweet Cherry, Fuel (Gas), Earthy, Herbal profile, this strain has a growth expectation of being 3 – 5 feet (Indoor) in height, with a nutrient demand that is High (Heavy feeder, especially for Nitrogen in Veg and PK in Flower).

This Hybrid is of the Genetype: ~70% Indica / 30% Sativa. The Cosmic Cherry strain has 3 phases of the growing cycle.

The first phase is the Seedling Phase. Once you have decided to grow Cosmic Cherry in either soil or hydroponiclay, the ph levels need to be monitored. The ph level desired by Hybrid is 6.2 – 6.8 and 5.5 – 6.0 hydroponically. During this infancy stage, Cosmic Cherry needs to maintain a target temperature of 70°F – 85°F (21°C – 29°C) for 2 to 3 weeks. Once the seed germinates, it will sprout it's first set of round leaves, or the cotyledons. If you are able to maintain the target humidity of 60% – 70%, the iconic serrated leaves will just begin to show themselves. During this critical Phase 1 of the Hybrid growing cycle the plant is establishing a strong root sytem. Beginners often over water these fragile seedlings. Do not drown your seeds. You seedling Cosmic Cherry needs care and gentle light. The recommended light cycle for growing Cosmic Cherry is 18/6 for the first cycle, which should last .

The next is the Vegetative Phase. The Cosmic Cherry will focus entirely on size and structural integity. The temperature needs also change for phase 2. If a target temperature of 70°F – 80°F (21°C – 26°C) is maintained and a target humidity of 50% – 55% is achieved, the Hybrid will grow stems, branches and plenty of large fan leaves. This ~70% Indica / 30% Sativa is trying to build it's own solar panel of leaves to absorb energy. It is critical to maintain a proper light cycle of 12/12 for the entire phase 2 schedule. This consistent energy will help plant grow bigger without producing flowers, focusing it's energy on growing tall and strong. Cosmic Cherry is at it's most resilient and may grow quickly. As phase 2 comes to an end, it may be topped or tied down, as it's training suitability is considered High; responds excellently to Topping and SCROG.

The most exciting phase, when growing ~70% Indica / 30% Sativa is the Flowering Phase. The plants adulthood lasts . It is at this phase that the light cycle changes for the last time. Cosmic Cherry will produce the most flowers when the light cycle is 12/12. Keep the temperature and humity controlled at 65°F – 75°F (18°C – 24°C) and 40% – 45% (Critical to prevent bud rot in dense flowers) so you can really watch this plant strecth and almost double in height. It will want to start producing early into the flowering process.

You will know the Cosmic Cherry is ready when the white hairs (pistils) turn amber/brown and the resin glands (trichomes) look milky or cloudy, rather than clear. Cutting the plant down even a week too early can significantly reduce the potency and weight of your harvest. Patience in the flowering phase will provide the best possible outomce of Hybrid with a desired gorwth profile that will be:
Dense, golf-ball sized nugs; deep purple hues and heavy frost

Growers Notes: The Resin Machine": Cosmic Cherry is a visual standout. Because of its Wedding Cake lineage, it is a "hungry" plant.

Airflow is Key: The buds are incredibly dense and resinous. In Phase 3, you must keep your humidity low (under 45%) and maintain high-speed airflow to prevent botrytis (bud rot) inside the thickest colas.

Color Manipulation: To bring out the deep "Cosmic" purples, drop your dark-cycle temperatures by about 10-15°F during the last two weeks of flower.

Training: This strain can be "leggy" if not trained. Topping at the 4th or 5th node and using a SCROG net will maximize your canopy and support the heavy weight of the buds.

Harvest Timing: Look for amber trichomes around day 60-65. It’s a "window" harvester; taking it too early misses the gassy terpene peak.
