Cherry Payton
Cherry Payton is a hybrid strain name applied to several distinct genetic crosses, all of which feature [[gary-payton|Gary Payton]] as a parent.
About Cherry Payton
The name Cherry Payton is currently used to describe at least three different genetic lineages, leading to ambiguity regarding the strain's specific effects and characteristics. The most widely recognized version, bred by the Nevada-based LIT Farms, is a balanced hybrid resulting from a cross between Gary Payton and Cherry Cheesecake. This iteration is noted for a flavor profile characterized by notes of vanilla, cherry, and herbs, supported by a terpene profile rich in caryophyllene, linalool, and bisabolol.
Other, less documented versions of Cherry Payton exist with conflicting genetic backgrounds. One variation is reported as a sativa-dominant hybrid created by crossing Gary Payton with Dante's Inferno. A third, distinct version is described as an indica-dominant hybrid derived from a cross between Cherry Pie and Gary Payton. Users of this indica-leaning variant report a long-lasting, euphoric, and deeply sedative experience, often recommending it for evening use.
Plant characteristics
The version of Cherry Payton bred by LIT Farms produces large, conical buds. The foliage displays a range of colors from emerald green to deep purple, and the flowers are typically covered in a dense layer of sticky crystal trichomes.
