Black Cherry Punch

Black Cherry Punch is flower named for a Purple Punch and Black Cherry Pie cross, and the terpene panel on Leafly lists myrcene first, then limonene and caryophyllene. The same two parents appear on AllBud.

Purple Punch, Black Cherry Pie and their children

Leafly’s genetics box names Super Boof and Blockberry as the children of the cross. Leafly’s category label reads hybrid, while its text describes an indica-dominant hybrid with mentally relaxing effects and a physical tingle. AllBud’s version is indica-dominant, split 80% indica to 20% sativa.

Sweet cherry, spicy florals and pine

Leafly’s text calls the flavour a loud, sweet cherry with floral undertones. Reviewers there mention fresh berry and other fruit aromas with a hop-like taste, plus tight, light green nugs that smell berry-fruity.

AllBud’s flavour notes: very sweet, fruity cherry with hints of spicy florals and woody pine. Its aroma notes: potent, with sweet, earthy cherry accented by spicy herbs and woody pine.

Growers quoted on Leafly describe tall, skinny buds with light orange hairs against light green shades. AllBud describes grape-shaped, minty-green buds with thin light orange hairs and tiny white trichomes, and one of its reviewers saw frosty pink, purple and green buds with red-orange hairs and a fruit-punch smell.

THC readings and a word on CBD

On Leafly the THC reading is 20% with 0% CBD, and the potency meter marks it above average. AllBud’s average THC is 24% to 25%, with CBD at 1% to 3%. Per Health Canada, CBD does not intoxicate but still affects the brain, and it may blunt some of THC’s effects.

Leafly’s reviewers also tag uplifted, euphoric, happy, creative, focused, energetic and hungry. AllBud’s users feel a tingle behind the eyes and in the forehead first, then euphoria and happiness along with physical relaxation. AllBud’s 80/20 split is the kind of label our breakdown of what indica, sativa and hybrid mean unpacks.
