Acai Berry Gelato meets Black Cherry Funk

Leafly labels the strain a hybrid, while AllBud calls it indica-dominant, 60% indica against 40% sativa. For hybrids to compare, our best hybrid strains guide has seven classic and modern picks.

Cherry, berry and a skunky edge

AllBud’s taste notes read sweet, fruity cherry-berry with a light touch of skunky herbs. Its aroma starts herbal, berry and skunky, then turns pungent and dank as the buds burn.

Apricot, pear and berry are Leafly’s flavour tags, and its reviewers pair a berry taste with sweet apricot undertones.

AllBud pictures small, grape-shaped, forest green buds with minty leaves, thin orange hairs and tiny, frosty, golden-amber trichomes.

Terpene order, THC and effects

Leafly’s THC reading is about 22% with 0% CBD, and its meter marks the potency above average; AllBud’s average is 26%. In Leafly’s terpene panel caryophyllene comes first, then limonene and humulene. For the middle one, see our limonene explainer.

Leafly’s reviewers report feeling hungry, relaxed and focused. AllBud’s users describe a light lift at the start, then a tingly body feel and deep relaxation.
