Overview
Cherry OG, also called Cherry OG Kush, is a well-balanced 50/50 hybrid from Emerald Triangle Seeds, created by crossing Cherry Thai and an old Afghan strain, then crossing that offspring with Lost Coast OG. Despite the fruity name, it often expresses more sour, diesel-like flavors alongside cherry sweetness. The effects deliver full-body euphoria paired with a cerebral, uplifting lucidity. Small, round, dark green buds covered in orange hairs give it an appearance reminiscent of the fruit it's named for.
Strain Helps With
Cherry OG is often used for stress, pain, and low mood, with its balanced high touching both mind and body. Some users, including those managing anxiety or ADHD-related racing thoughts, report a calming, focusing effect that quiets an overactive mind without heavy sedation. Its balanced 50/50 nature makes it flexible for different parts of the day depending on dose.
Terpenes
Cherry OG's terpene profile generally reflects its OG lineage, likely featuring myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene. Myrcene supports the body-forward relaxation, caryophyllene adds spice and depth, and limonene contributes the citrus-sour brightness that shows up alongside the strain's cherry sweetness. The interplay between these terpenes is part of why the strain can taste sweeter in the jar and sourer on the exhale.
Parents
Cherry OG comes from a three-way cross of Cherry Thai, an old Afghan strain, and Lost Coast OG. Cherry Thai contributes fruity sweetness and a sativa lift, the Afghan parent adds density and relaxation, and Lost Coast OG rounds things out with classic OG potency and an earthy, diesel-tinged backbone. Bred by Emerald Triangle Seeds, it's sometimes confused with the separately-bred Cherry Kush.
