Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide
Indica 70%Sativa 30%
Indica, sativa and hybrid are a retail shopping convention — not a reliable guide to genetics or effects. When researchers analysed 89,923 commercial samples across six states, these labels did not predict a plant’s terpene or cannabinoid profile, and a genome-wide study found sativa- and indica-labelled plants to be genetically indistinct (PLOS ONE 2022; Nature Plants 2021). The labels are so fluid that AK-47, a hybrid, won “Best Sativa” at the 1999 Cannabis Cup and “Best Indica” four years later. For an accurate, genetics-true picture, see the chemotype above.

About Cheri Maraschino
Cheri Maraschino is a feminized cultivar created by Purple City Genetics, the Oakland-based breeder founded in 2008 and widely recognized for developing resin-heavy genetics with distinctive terpene profiles. This strain belongs to the Akira collection, released in 2024, a lineup of indica-leaning feminized hybrids built around the exclusive Kimchi parent and known for their striking bag appeal and exceptionally expressive aromas. Cheri Maraschino genetics: premium fruity lineage
Cheri Maraschino was developed by crossing Cheri with Kimchi. The Cheri side combines three highly respected modern cultivars — Cherry Pie, Forbidden Fruit, and Zkittlez — all celebrated for their rich fruit-forward terpene profiles and refined indica character. Kimchi, PCG’s proprietary breeding line used throughout the Akira collection, reinforces the dense resin production, deep coloration, and standout visual quality that define the series. Growing Cheri Maraschino: fast, accessible, and visually impressive
In indoor cultivation, Cheri Maraschino finishes flowering in approximately 8 weeks, making it a strong option for growers looking for efficient turnaround times without sacrificing quality. Purple
