Bodhi - Cherry Lotus
I popped a pack and had 5 females and the rest males. I let the males grow out a bit, but I really liked a Sky Lotus male and that’s the one I selected.
I grew 3 for flower and 2 for seeds.
There were a lot of similarities between the 5 plants, large colas, great structure, cherry/fruity smells, excellent vigor, and awesome effects.
1 of the females is my favorite as it has some unique effects and I am glad I have her running in soil now.

Cherry Lotus 1:
This is my favorite one to smoke. It enhances sound unlike any other strain I’ve ever smoked. It isn’t quite like mushies, but music just sounds better.
I put my headphones on and it had me dancing on the treadmill. Great strain for working out. It’s motivating, puts me in a good mood, I really love it.
Smell: Mostly sour cherries and musk and the flavors translates to the pipe.
This one foxtailed pretty good on me. I had some problems with heat. All 3 had some foxtailing, but this one was the worse.
My temps were 80-83 and 50-60% humidity.
I am running it again in soil and keeping the temps 75-78f 45-55% humidity and the buds look much better. Picture of soil plant above in a previous post.
This plant had narrower leaves than the others and stretched more.
The bud structure isn’t as dense or uniform like the other 4 plants, but I think that had a lot to do with the heat.
Harvested F75.
Cherry Lotus 2:
This is my 2nd favorite one. Probably the “loudest” of the 3. Large nugs, frosty, easy to grow.
Uplifting, music sounds better. Excellent smoke to share with a friend. It gets me pretty stoned.
Smell: Sweet Cherry upfront, then hit with stinky BO. Surprisingly good smelling BO. Cherry and wood coat the mouth when smoking.
Large fan leaves, big colas, large nugs. They weren’t very dense which is great for their size, no worries for mold.
This stretched the least, but was very similar to Cherry Lotus 3 and one of the Cherry Lotuses I seeded.
Harvested F77.
Cherry Lotus 3:
The largest of the bunch. More sedating of a smoke. This is my choice for Netflix or movies (well 1 is great for that too).
Provides headache relief, relaxing, body effects, stoney but not brain dead. I am able to smoke it all day and not be too tired.
It doesn’t boost my mood like the others, more tranquil.
This is my friends favorite out of the 3.
It grew very similar to #2, but was larger.
Smell: Sweet and fruity. More Melon (cantaloupe) than cherry. Basil and some spices. Not quite musk
Harvested F80.
The other 2 plants were seeded by a Sky Lotus male. Plant 4 had a large cola and structured like #'s 2 and 3.
Plant 5 was shorter and stockier. It didn’t look like any of the other 4 females.
There were a couple nice looking males out of this bunch too. 1 or two were huge and I almost picked it over the Sky Lotus, but I really wanted the Sky Lotus F2’s and the Sky lotus male was structured more uniform, faster flowering, and a few other reasons.
A comment from a friend:
“My whole room smells like cherry candy. It’s crazy how strong the cherry is, love it.”
