The Cherry OG Strain is truly an original ganja blend. A cherry flavored hybrid with a diesel aroma that can take you back in time to feel like an OG hanging out in a hazy cloud of smoke.

Fans of the strain say it gives you a uniquely balanced body and mind high with an enjoyable cherry flavor that isn’t too overpowering. It achieves this dank result by being a 50/50 hybrid of Sativa and Indica strains.

Sativa is known for its euphoric, cerebral high that has you focused and coming up with your best ideas while Indica brings with it a body high that relieves pain and can induce some serious couch lock. Mix the two together and you get a mind blowing combo at first puff.

True to its name the first thing people notice about this unique bud is that it is smaller and darker than most and has a visibly reddish tone. It’s quite reminiscent of, well, what else? Cherries!  The Cherry OG strain is the child of Cherry Thai, Afghani, and Lost Coast OG. Let’s explore more about this uniquely balanced bud and see what it has to offer.

Anything with “kandy” in its name has to be good, right? Right! The Kandy Kush strain is no exception. This sweet-flavored hybrid produces a distinct lemon scent—very “Kushy”, as one user put it—when smoked and, since first being produced, has become a popular medicinal strain because of its potent high and strong pain-relief quality.

But the sweetness isn’t only restricted to its name or its smoke—sometimes the bud even looks like candy. The oranges, greens, browns, and purples combine to give this strain a decidedly rock-candy-like appearance. Just imagine this bud on a stick, ready to be licked, and you’ll know what I’m talking about.

Kandy Kush has a lot to offer (and a lot to be desired), so let’s spend a bit of time getting to know the sweetest of the sweet.

History Of The Strain

Kandy Kush is a hybrid strain originally produced by DNA Genetics and created by crossing two indica and sativa powerhouses:  OG Kush and Trainwreck. It’s original, and most common, form is predominantly indica-dominant (about 60%) thanks to its OG Kush parent. Other forms that pop up now and again, hold more of a likeness for the Trainwreck side of the family and display decidedly sativa structure and characteristics. That said, the indica-dominant strain of Kandy Kush is by far the most common and is what people are jonesing for when they need to satisfy their sweet tooth. Newer strains introduce even more of a candy vibe with flavors like cotton candy, rock candy, caramel candy.
