About Cherry Punch
Cherry Punch is a stunning California hybrid developed by The Village and Budologist of Symbiotic Genetics. By crossing the cherry-forward phenotype of the classic Cherry AK-47 with their flagship Purple Punch F2 stud (Larry OG × GDP), Symbiotic created a strain with extraordinary visual appeal and rich berry-candy terpenes. The buds display rich magenta, deep violet, and forest-green hues, coated in a thick blanket of frosty white trichomes. Its aroma is an intoxicating blend of wild black cherries, candied fruit punch, sweet berry compote, and subtle earthy skunk. It delivers an immediate mental lift of happy euphoria followed by a soothing full-body physical calm.
