Permanent Cherries strain guide
Permanent Cherries is a hybrid from the Permanent Marker family, usually credited to Seed Junky Genetics. It smells of cherry and citrus with a cool minty note and the gassy, marker-like funk its parent is known for. Its exact cross is not well documented.
Where does Permanent Cherries come from?
Sources agree that Permanent Marker is one parent. The other side is less clear. Some listings give it as Permanent Marker crossed with Lemon Cherry Gelato, while others give a Lemon Cherry and Kush Mints backcross line as the partner.
Seed Junky Genetics is the breeder usually named, but the company doesn't list the strain itself, so we can't confirm the parents from the source. More than one cut seems to be going around under this name.
What does Permanent Cherries smell and taste like?
Cherry leads for most people, with citrus and a fresh, minty edge on top. Underneath sits a strong gas and marker-like smell, the chemical funk that Permanent Marker is known for.
The fruit and mint are usually credited to the Lemon Cherry and Kush Mints side, and the gas to Permanent Marker. We couldn't find published terpene results for Permanent Cherries, so we haven't listed any. If your package shows terpenes, use those.
Permanent Cherries effects: what people report
People describe Permanent Cherries as balanced but strong: a big euphoric lift at the start that settles into a mellow, calm feel and, for some, real sleepiness later on.
These are experiences people report, not promises, and there aren't many detailed reviews yet. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance.
How strong is Permanent Cherries?
Permanent Cherries is a very high-THC strain in the listings we found. A grow database puts typical lots around 28% to 33%, and product listings run from about 25% up to the mid 30s, with very little CBD.
Numbers that high are a lot for anyone. Start with a small amount and give it time before having more. Check the THC on your label, and if you see a number in the 30s, it's worth reading our note on THCA vs THC to understand what's being counted.
Buying Permanent Cherries in Canada
Because more than one cut carries the name, the producer and any lineage on the package help you know what you're getting. It's also easy to confuse with other Permanent Marker relatives, so check the full name.
Look at the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of the cherry.
Permanent Cherries vs Permanent Marker
Permanent Marker is the parent all sources agree on. Permanent Marker is known for sweet candy over chemical and gas, a smell many people say really does recall a marker, and for a strong, relaxed feel. Permanent Cherries keeps that marker funk but puts cherry, citrus and mint in front of it, so it smells fruitier and a little brighter. Both are strong, and Permanent Cherries listings often run higher. If you like the funk on its own, stick with Permanent Marker. If you want fruit on top, try Permanent Cherries.
