Growing Cherry Punch
Cherry Punch is a versatile strain, but it needs plenty of space to branch out. You’ll want to top the plants several times to encourage lateral growth and more bud sites. Stimulating anthocyanins by exposing the plants to colder temperatures during the early flowering stage will encourage red and purple colors to develop. Cherry Punch produces indoor yields ranging around 60 grams per square foot.
When grown outdoors, Cherry Punch plants exhibit average pest and mold resistance. The strain withstands cooler weather and is well-suited for a mid-October harvest, yielding up to 1200 grams per plant.
