Red Cherry Berry by Barneys Farm

Cherry blossom, ripe peach and a tangy berry exhale: this is a Skunk descendant that smells more like an orchard than a skunk.

Barney's Farm built it on Skunk #1 backcrossed into Californian indica stock, with Cherry Bomb named as the indica parent, for smokers who like an indica body but still want something going on upstairs. It has since left the breeder's current catalogue, which gives a sealed pack real back-catalogue appeal.

The breeder calls the smell extremely fruity. Smokers pin it down to cherry blossom and peach, a tangy blueberry note and a sugary, candyfloss sweetness on the exhale.

Expect a balanced effect: a clear, cerebral start sitting on top of a calm, slightly narcotic body stone. Users most often report feeling relaxed, happy and uplifted, and mention it for stress and low mood as well as for aches and restless nights.

Breeder notes describe a medium-height plant with large yields and a flowering window of 10 to 11 weeks, with outdoor plants harvested around mid October. It is listed for indoor and outdoor growing, and growers rate the indoor harvest highly. Smokers warn that the finished bud is loud, with a fruity smell strong enough to make discretion hard.

Barney's Farm started life in 1986 as a coffeeshop on Amsterdam's Haarlemmerstraat and has collected Cannabis Cups since Sunburst in 1999.
