Black Cherry Gushers by Barney’s Farm
Rarely do great modern hybrids have a single standout characteristic. Instead, they unite a powerful taste, amazing resin production and carefully selected genetics into a unique cultivar. One such hybrid is Black Cherry Gushers which combines the work of Barney’s Farm and Backpack Boyz into a 60% indica hybrid made from Acai and Black Cherry Funk. The strain is famous for its great fruit terpene profile, dense trichomes and premium flower quality.
With THC at the level of 30%, Black Cherry Gushers definitely has a lot of potency but it is the terpene profile of this hybrid that is the main thing to remember. Ripe black cherry, sweet berries and a touch of tropical fruits are combined with candy undertones, creating a great taste that changes throughout the whole experience. Added to this is the dense resin coating on the flowers and vigorous growth that makes it a true gem of modern cannabis breeding.
SeedMasters finds hybrids that combine the traits of both parents very interesting. In the case of Black Cherry Gushers, it is Acai that gives bright fruit complexity and resin production and Black Cherry Funk that provides more complex black cherry aromas and distinctive look of the flower.
Black Cherry Gushers Genetics
Black Cherry Gushers is a combination of two modern cultivars that complement each other in terms of aroma and structure.
Acai adds a vibrant berry aroma, hybrid growth pattern and a great terpene profile which immediately lifts the aromatic traits of the hybrid. This is the strain that adds bright fruit complexity and helps to maintain the vigorous development and the resin production.
Black Cherry Funk adds a new layer of complexity. This well-known strain is famous for its rich cherry aromas and the dense flower formation. This makes the strain enhance the visual appeal and structure of the hybrid, making the flowers dense, rich in trichomes and having a distinctive dark fruit flavor.
The 60/40 ratio of indica and sativa allows combining sturdy branches and vigorous flower development while preserving enough hybrid vigour to achieve great yields. By not focusing on one of the parent strains but combining the best qualities of both, Barney’s Farm has managed to create a perfect hybrid.
For those who are interested in fruit-forward cannabis strains, Black Cherry Gushers is a great proof of careful and successful breeding.
Appearance
Black Cherry Gushers grows into a strong medium-sized plant with good lateral branches and an even canopy that can support great flower production. Thanks to its vigorous structure, the strain is capable of developing a large number of flowering sites that allow growing dense buds all over the plant.
During the process of flowering, the elongated buds gradually transform into thick, resinous colas with great density and weight. Bright green calyxes form the base of the bud that becomes adorned with light accents and bright orange pistils.
One of the most distinctive traits of the cultivar is its great trichome production. Dense layers of glistening resin completely cover the flowers and sugar leaves around, making the mature buds bright and frosted. The sticky and shimmery coating not only increases the bag appeal of the strain but also shows the terpene profile.
The finished buds are dense, colorful and full of resin, perfectly uniting modern looks and the premium flower quality from Barney’s Farm × Backpack Boyz collaboration.
Our Take
At SeedMasters.com, we really like the depth of Black Cherry Gushers. Having a rich black cherry flavor from Black Cherry Funk, this strain successfully complements it with a brighter berry and tropical flavors from Acai, creating a terpene profile that keeps being interesting from the very beginning till the end. Added to this are the great trichome production and beautiful flower structure, making this hybrid seem like a strain created specifically for the flavor enthusiasts rather than a high THC strain.
