Hybrid

Black Cherry Gelato

Black Cherry Gelato is a hybrid strain (cultivar) created by crossing Acai and Black Cherry Funk genetics. Backpack Boyz also makes a version of Black Cherry Gelato that crosses Sherbet and Blackberry. Regardless, Black Cherry Gelato’s THC content reportedly ranges between 22% and 25%, with almost nonexistent CBD levels, typically below 1%.

Black Cherry Gelato is a slightly indica-dominant hybrid with 60% indica and 40% sativa. Still, most users describe it as a typical indica with calming and sedative properties.

Fans of this hybrid strain report a mix of robust flavors like sweet berry with mild wood notes, marked by the dominant terpenes delta-3carene, pinene, terpinolene, and beta-caryophyllene. Black Cherry Gelato’s complete chemical profile makes it a sweet bud with relaxing and euphoric effects.

Flavonoids

Flavonoids are one of the lesser-known compounds in cannabis, and little is known about the flavonoids present in each strain because they are rarely tested. Like terpenes, flavonoids add to each strain’s flavor and fragrance profile.

Studies have shown that the major flavonoids present in all cannabis plants are cannflavins A, B, and C.
