Cherry 41
Cherry Pie × Gelato #41
Cherry 41 is a modern sativa celebrated for its dense, resin-rich flowers and potent effects. It offers a distinct candy-sweet cherry aroma layered over a creamy, Gelato-forward base, making it a popular choice for both cultivators and consumers.
Appearance
Cherry 41 typically produces dense, golf ball to spade-shaped buds with swollen calyxes and minimal sugar leaf. The color ranges from lime to forest green, often featuring plum and violet highlights, especially as the plant matures. Long, flame-colored pistils are common, and the buds are heavily coated in thick, bulbous trichomes, giving them a frosted appearance.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is characterized by a prominent candy-sweet cherry top note, complemented by a creamy, Gelato-like base. On the palate, it marries tart fruit with vanilla cream, evoking notes of cherry gelato and syrup, with a subtle doughy or woody undertone.
Effects
Consumers often describe Cherry 41 as balanced yet potent, delivering an initial uplifting sensation followed by a relaxing body-melting finish. Its effects are well-suited for late afternoon or evening use, providing a sense of calm without excessive sedation.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This strain is known for its high THC content, typically ranging from 15-25%, with negligible CBD levels. The terpene profile is often dominated by Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Linalool, contributing to its characteristic dessert-like aroma and flavor.
Growing
Cherry 41 is a sativa-dominant hybrid that generally exhibits strong lateral branching and moderate to short internodal spacing, reaching heights of 90-140 cm indoors. It is known for dense bud formation and heavy trichome coverage, requiring good airflow to prevent issues. The flowering time is typically 8.5 to 10 weeks, and it is considered a good candidate for extractions due to its high resin production.
Origins & Lineage
Cherry 41 is widely believed to be a cross between a cherry-dominant strain, such as Cherry Pie, and Gelato #41 (Bacio Gelato). This lineage contributes its signature cherry aromatics and creamy, dessert-like flavor profile, along with the dense, resin-heavy flower structure characteristic of the Gelato family.
