Cherry Fizz by Green Lion Seeds
Undisclosed
Cherry Fizz is an indica cultivar developed by Green Lion Seeds, a breeder recognized for creating flavor-forward hybrids with pronounced terpene profiles. Its name reflects a distinct aroma and taste characterized by red fruits, particularly cherry, and an effervescent quality.
Appearance
Cherry Fizz buds are typically medium-sized and rounded, featuring dense calyxes. They often display a green base color that can be accented with magenta or wine-red hues, especially when cultivated in cooler temperatures. The flowers are covered in a frosty layer of trichomes, giving them a glassy appearance, and are complemented by peach to deep copper pistils.
The buds possess a density that offers a satisfying feel, compressing slightly before rebounding, indicating well-developed resin. Sugar leaves are generally minimal and close to the bud, facilitating efficient manicuring. Under full-spectrum LED lighting, the colors of the flowers can become particularly vibrant.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Cherry Fizz is dominated by layered red fruit notes, including sweet cherry, pomegranate, and raspberry, with a bright, slightly tart character that evokes a sparkling sensation. Underlying these fruit notes are hints of vanilla sugar and confectioner’s glaze, along with a subtle peppery spice. Some phenotypes may also exhibit a faint cola syrup nuance.
Upon grinding, the aroma profile expands to include volatile notes of citrus zest and a fleeting suggestion of almond-cherry pit. The flavor follows a similar arc, starting with candied cherry and transitioning to a mid-palate with citrus undertones, finishing with peppery notes and a vanilla sweetness. This flavor profile is often described as having a pleasant, almost effervescent quality.
Effects
As an indica-dominant strain, Cherry Fizz is generally associated with relaxing effects. Users may experience a sense of calm and tranquility, making it suitable for unwinding. The strain's profile suggests it could contribute to a pleasant sensory experience, with its distinct aroma and flavor contributing to its overall appeal.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Cherry Fizz is a THC-dominant (Type I) cultivar, with THC content typically ranging from 20-24% and CBD levels below 1%. Its terpene profile is characterized by Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Linalool, contributing to its complex aroma and flavor. Caryophyllene is noted for its peppery notes, while Limonene adds citrusy elements, and Linalool contributes floral or sweet undertones.
Origins & Lineage
Cherry Fizz was bred by Green Lion Seeds, a breeder known for developing hybrids with pronounced terpene expression and distinct flavors. The exact parental cross for Cherry Fizz has not been officially disclosed by the breeder, which is common in competitive cannabis markets.

Growing
Grower reports indicate that Cherry Fizz exhibits medium internodal spacing and sufficient lateral branch strength, suggesting a hybrid with strong apical dominance that is somewhat moderated by branching habits found in Cookies or Kush-type strains.
