Amaretto Tarmac by Seedstockers

Amaretto Tarmac is for growers who are tired of strains that all taste the same. This sativa-dominant feminized hybrid from Seedstockers layers sweet cherry, berry, and almond-amaretto richness over citrus, earth, and a subtle tarmac depth, one of the most distinctive terpene profiles in modern cannabis.

It backs that flavor with 20–26% THC, huge yields, and a fast 9-week flowering period. Plants stay medium in size and easy to control, making Amaretto Tarmac a rewarding choice for intermediate growers indoors or out.

Lineage: Amaretto Sour × Apollo Black Cherry

Amaretto Tarmac is a cross of Amaretto Sour × Apollo Black Cherry. Amaretto Sour itself is built from Zkittlez × Biscotti × Sherb BX, a heavy-hitting dessert line, while Apollo Black Cherry, another Seedstockers strain, adds deep cherry terpenes and award-winning resin quality.

The result is a stable, high-performing hybrid with a strong sativa influence, bold terpene expression, and consistent results from seed to seed. It is a modern line built from serious American dessert genetics.

Aroma, Flavor, and Effect

The aroma is fruity with hints of sour apple, floral and spicy tones, and a light fuel-and-pine background. It is complex and original, and it gets loud in late flower.

On the palate, sweet cherry and berry lead, followed by almond and amaretto-like richness, then citrus and earthy layers with a faint tarmac depth on the finish. It tastes like a cherry-almond pastry eaten on a hot summer street.

The effect opens with a strong cerebral boost, euphoric, uplifting, creative, and focused, before settling into smooth body relaxation. It is long-lasting and balanced, suited to creative sessions, social moments, or unwinding later in the day.

Growing Amaretto Tarmac Indoors and Outdoors

As a feminized photoperiod, Amaretto Tarmac needs 18/6 during vegetative growth and a switch to 12/12 to trigger flowering, which then takes about 9 weeks. It is surprisingly manageable for a premium strain, with medium, controlled growth and dense, resin-heavy buds.

Indoors, expect 450–500 g/m² (1.47–1.64 oz/ft²). The compact structure is easy to control and responds well to LST and lollipopping: clear the lower growth, spread the main branches, and let the light hit an even canopy of top colas.

Outdoors, plants can reach up to 800 g/plant (28.2 oz/plant) and finish around late September in the Northern Hemisphere, which makes it a viable option even where summers are shorter.

The breeder’s top tip is airflow. Dense buds need steady ventilation, especially in late flowering, and it is the simplest way to protect both yield and terpenes. Extract makers will also find it rewarding, with standout returns in rosin, BHO, and dry sift.
