Blue Cherries by Strait A Genetics
Blue Cherries isn't just a single strain you pick up at the local shop; it's the foundational breeding stock that put Strait A Genetics on the map. It's one of those deeply guarded genetic lines prized for passing down crazy vibrant colors, wild terpene profiles, and seriously beefed-up plant structures. When you see Blue Cherries attached to a cross—like Blue Cherry OG or Cherry Cane—you know you're dealing with some heavy-duty, terpy gear. They usually drop these as regular seeds, which tells you right off the bat that this is meant for real growers looking to pheno-hunt a keeper mother.
The aroma on these crosses is consistently off the charts. You get this intense, mouth-watering mix of sweet berries and tart cherries mixed with a funky, earthy backbone. Take Blue Cherry Diesel, for example, where they crossed it with an Archive cut of Sour D. Growers report a crazy clash of sour gas and sweet cherry that coats your mouth for hours. It usually leans a bit indica in structure, finishing in that 9 to 10-week window, and delivering a high that starts off super creative and uplifting before settling into a nice, heavy body buzz.
Finding pure smoke reports on just "Blue Cherries" can be tough since the name gets tossed around by different breeders working with completely different lineages. But if you're rocking the Strait A Genetics lines, you're playing with fire. The community over on the forums knows what's up—these seeds are heavily sought after by extractors and old-school heads who want resin production that dumps for hash while keeping those unique, fruity-gas terps completely intact.

Growing Blue Cherries: what to expect
As an indica-leaning plant, expect a modest stretch after the flip (roughly 50–100%) and dense bud structure — which makes late-flower humidity discipline the main risk: keep RH in the 40s once buds fatten to stay ahead of mold. Growers familiar with Mendo Breath F3 Variation 2 or Bluetopia will recognize much of its behavior. Whatever the listing says, the cut in YOUR tent is the ground truth: log feedings, readings, and photos, and let the trends — not the label — drive decisions.
