Français Black Cherry OG is an indica-dominant strain from Pacific Frost crossed with Blackberry Moonrock, testing up to 33% THC, with a sweet cherry flavour and a heavy body effect. It flowers in 8 to 9 weeks and finishes outdoors in late September to early October, which makes it one of the few genuinely high-THC strains that ripens early enough for a northern season.

A note on the numbers in this article: harvest dates, flowering times and yields are ranges, not promises. They vary depending on growing conditions: the grower, the method and the season's weather. "Mold resistant" means mold tolerant: less prone to mold and slower to be affected. No strain is 100% mold resistant. How we set these numbers →
The 33% figure, in context
Thirty-three per cent is at the top of what cannabis reaches, and "up to" is doing real work in that sentence. A number like this comes from a well-grown plant under good conditions, tested on its best material. Your own result depends on light, feeding, how late you harvest and which part of the plant you are smoking. Treat it as the ceiling of the range rather than a guarantee.
What is not in doubt is the band. This is a strong strain by any measure, and for anyone not used to the high twenties it is one to approach carefully.
What the terpenes tell you
The three listed terpenes line up with the described effect, which is a useful cross-check on any strain claim.
- Caryophyllene — peppery and spicy, and the one terpene that also binds to a cannabinoid receptor. Associated with the heavier, more physical end of the effect spectrum.
- Limonene — citrus and bright, and the lift that keeps a heavy indica from being purely sedating.
- Myrcene — earthy and herbal, and the terpene most associated with the relaxed, couch-leaning quality of indica strains.
Caryophyllene and myrcene together are a signature of a body-dominant strain, which is what this one is.
Effects and flavour
The effect is physical and heavy — an evening strain rather than a working one. The flavour is sweet cherry, which comes through the Blackberry Moonrock side, on a sweet rather than a fuel or earthy base.
Growing Black Cherry OG
Outdoors, where it stands out
This is the interesting part. Most strains testing in the thirties finish in mid or late October, which puts them out of reach outdoors anywhere with a short season. Black Cherry OG comes down in late September to early October, ahead of the first hard frost in most of southern Canada and ahead of the worst of the autumn rain.
That combination — very high THC and an early outdoor finish — is rare, and it is the main reason to choose this one over a more famous high-THC strain that will not ripen in time.
Indoors
Eight to nine weeks of bloom is standard. The flowers are dense and heavy, with the two usual consequences: support them before the stretch finishes rather than after something bends, and keep air moving through the canopy so moisture does not sit in the core of a bud. Drop humidity through the final fortnight.
Warm climates and large plants
The product page notes large outdoor yields and a preference for warm climates. In practice that means it rewards a full outdoor season with heat in July and August, and it does not want to be crowded. Give it room and it will use it.
Frequently asked questions
What is Black Cherry OG?
An indica-dominant cannabis strain made by crossing Pacific Frost with Blackberry Moonrock. It tests up to 33% THC, carries a sweet cherry flavour and produces a heavy body effect.
Is Black Cherry OG indica or sativa?
Indica dominant. The effect is physical and relaxing rather than cerebral.
How strong is Black Cherry OG?
Up to 33% THC, which is at the top of the range for cannabis. "Up to" means that is the ceiling under good conditions, not a guaranteed result from every plant. Either way it is a strong strain.
What does Black Cherry OG taste like?
Sweet cherry, on a sweet base. The cherry note comes from the Blackberry Moonrock parent.
What are the parents of Black Cherry OG?
Pacific Frost and Blackberry Moonrock.
What terpenes are in Black Cherry OG?
Caryophyllene, limonene and myrcene. Caryophyllene is peppery and contributes to the physical effect, limonene adds citrus brightness, and myrcene is the earthy terpene most associated with a relaxed indica effect.
How long does Black Cherry OG take to flower?
Eight to nine weeks indoors. Outdoors it is ready in late September to early October.
Is Black Cherry OG good for growing outdoors in Canada?
Better than most strains of this potency, because it finishes in late September to early October rather than mid or late October. That gets it in ahead of the first hard frost in most of southern Canada. Note that home cultivation is prohibited in Quebec, though legal in most other provinces.
Is Black Cherry OG the same as Black Cherry Punch or Black Cherry Soda?
No. Several unrelated strains use "Black Cherry" in the name. This one is specifically Pacific Frost crossed with Blackberry Moonrock, and the lineage is what distinguishes it.
