Medellin Cherry by Puget Sound Seeds
Unknown
Medellin Cherry is a hybrid cannabis cultivar developed by Puget Sound Seeds, known for its balanced indica and sativa genetics. This aromatic strain features a distinct red-fruit bouquet and dense, resinous flowers, offering a profile that is both familiar and contemporary.
Appearance
Medellin Cherry typically produces medium-density flowers with a tidy, conical silhouette, often ranging from 2 to 5 grams per nug for top colas. Bud coloration is usually lime to forest green, accented by vivid orange to copper pistils. Cooler temperatures near harvest may encourage purpling on sugar leaf margins and calyx tips. The flowers are covered in a granular frost of trichomes, which appear milky with amber specks as maturity approaches.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Medellin Cherry is dominated by a burst of ripe red fruit, reminiscent of cherry preserves or Bing cherries. This sweet top note is complemented by a subtle citrus sparkle and a soft floral lift, with underlying spicy and faint fuel accents. The flavor profile often translates these aromas, featuring notes of berry and cherry alongside hints of citrus, candy, and a touch of diesel.
Effects
Consumers describe Medellin Cherry as a versatile hybrid that offers an energetic onset, which gradually settles into a comfortable body presence. It is often noted for providing mental clarity and a mood lift, followed by a measured body calm, particularly at moderate doses. This balanced effect makes it suitable for afternoon activities, creative pursuits, or evening relaxation.

CBD content is generally less than 1%.
