Apollo Black Cherry by Seedstockers

Apollo Black Cherry is built around a rare black cherry terpene profile and award-winning resin. This feminized hybrid from Seedstockers is about flavor and quality first, with strong, balanced effects and big, dense harvests that come together without much fuss.

Seedstockers lists three awards for it: 1st Best Rosin at CFE Desuranorte, 3rd Best Dry Sift at Dabadoo, and 3rd Best Flower Sativa at the TerpTurbine Cup. It flowers in about 9 weeks, carries 14–22% THC, and is rated beginner friendly.

Lineage: Apollo 13 × Black Cherry Cheesecake × Cherry AK

Apollo Black Cherry is a multi-line cross of Apollo 13 × Black Cherry Cheesecake × Cherry AK. Apollo 13 brings hybrid vigor and structure, Black Cherry Cheesecake adds the rich, dessert-style cherry sweetness, and Cherry AK deepens the fruit profile and strengthens resin output.

The combination produces strong hybrid performance, unique terpene expression, and stable, reliable growth. It is also the cherry parent behind Seedstockers’ Amaretto Tarmac, which shows how highly the breeder rates its flavor.

Aroma, Flavor, and Effect

The aroma is sweet cherry and candy-like notes over a subtle skunk background. It is complex and long-lasting, the type of smell that lingers in a room after the jar is closed.

On the palate, rich black cherry sweetness leads, followed by berry and fruity undertones, then an earthy, slightly spicy finish. It is a deep, dark-fruit flavor rather than a sharp, sour one.

The effect is balanced and relaxing: calm body relaxation with a light mental uplift that keeps the mind comfortable and clear. It is smooth and enjoyable rather than overwhelming, a natural fit for evening sessions.

Growing Apollo Black Cherry Indoors and Outdoors

As a feminized photoperiod plant, Apollo Black Cherry runs on 18/6 during vegetative growth and flips to 12/12 to start flowering, which takes about 9 weeks. It is beginner friendly and stable, yet still delivers results that advanced growers and extractors will appreciate.

Indoors, its medium height and easy-to-control structure make it a strong performer in limited space. It is well suited to training: top once or twice, spread the branches with LST, and fill a SCROG net for an even canopy of dense colas.

Outdoors, it performs well in warm climates, building a strong plant structure and big, dense harvests. Give it a sunny, sheltered spot and plenty of root room.

The breeder’s top tip is airflow. Dense, resin-heavy buds need steady ventilation to protect quality in late flower, and a constant breeze through the canopy is the simplest insurance for the harvest.
