Sour Cherry Kush by Arcana Collective

Tart cherry laid over OG gas is the whole point of this cross, and the breeder says the flavour survives the trip from flower into rosin.

The mother is Sour Cherry, a cross of Sour AL and Black Cherry, and the other parent is Oryan OG, the same OG behind June Plum and Key Klub 33. Arcana set out to combine sour cherry candy with Kush strength and serious hash returns. It sits at about 60 per cent indica, in a pack of seven feminised seeds.

Expect bright, sour cherry and darker fruit up front, sharpened with lemon and pine, with gas running underneath the whole way.

Breeder notes describe a strong but balanced effect: relaxed in the body, with a clear and uplifted head. That makes it more versatile across the day than the heavier OG lines in the range.

Plants grow medium to tall with tight spacing between nodes and a moderate stretch, and they respond well to training. Flowers are generous and medium-sized, finishing green with purple. The breeder gives 60 to 70 days of flower for indoor rooms and greenhouses, with a moderate to high yield. This is the hash maker's pick of the feminised packs: the breeder figures are resin at 4.5 per cent or more and a wash return above 4.3 per cent, with THC at 24 to 29 per cent.

Arcana Collective draws on legacy breeders including Chemdog, Josh D, OG Ghost and Ras Kaya, all working from the Ghost Town campus in Shelton, Washington.
