Caryophyllene, Limonene and Myrcene in the Jar

Caryophyllene

Caryophyllene opens the stack, peppery and warm, and its grounding body note sits under the dark cherry.

Limonene

Limonene is second, often described as uplifting and clear-headed, a daytime-friendly note next to the sweet berry.

Myrcene

Myrcene comes last, with the body-relaxing, heavy, classic indica-feel descriptors, in a stack whose reported peak is balanced.

Black Cherry Funk Crossed With Acai Gelato

Black Cherry Funk and Acai Gelato are the parents. The Pacific Northwest produced it in the late 2010s as a flavor-forward Gelato variant. Flowering takes 8-9 weeks.
