reserve your ad hereHappy belated 4th of July, everyone! Today, I’ve got a very special MILF (Marijuana I’d Love to Find) for you all, the infamous Cherry Thunderfuck, yup. She’s infamous because she’s a stone-cold killer, and I mean a real knockout punch kind of killer. Her smells and flavors are so unique I have only experienced them in the Matanuska Valley Thunderfuck, and one other. This hybrid carries on expressing those uber-unique and crazy sweet smells and flavors. The yields are good, large cola size with very petite stems—great for smoking.
She can be found over at Kingdom Organic Seeds, along with plenty of other exotics, all bred in living soil, using real males, baybee. I’ll give you a link directly to her below, but for now, let’s look at some stuffs regarding this fantastical hybrid…

The Rundown—Hierarchy Etc.
Male Breeder(s) Deets: The original P1 male I used in this cross was my Hawaiian Cherry Bomb (f3) which was a superior breeder with that almost “invisible” recombination tendency. He would bump up yields and resin production but otherwise would be mostly undetectable in the offspring generation. A very handy ability for this cross, keeping the Matanuska Thunderfuck mostly itself in the hybrid offspring.
For this inbred f2 generation, I selected a single superior (whorled) male f1 Cherry Thunderfuck that was uber stinky and crazy vigorous with large floral size. Yup, exactly what I was hunting; and that doesn’t happen all the time.
Female Breeder(s) Deets: The original P1 female used in this cross, the Matanuska Valley Thunderfuck (MTF), was sent to me in clone form (like almost three decades ago) quite expertly by an old growing buddy originally from Northern California; around Fort Bragg in Mendo that relocated to Alaska. Seems way too cold for me but okay 😊 …He sent me six cuttings, 3 of each phenotype he had, and he called these the A and B phenos. I ultimately kept and used the A phenotype as it seemed much heartier growing under my conditions.
For this inbred f2 generation, I selected 2 female f1 Cherry Thunderfuck individuals but ultimately only used 1 of these females. She was beyond smelly and literally glistened with resin, even from a distance.
Growing Information
GROWER: The Rev
Now, I’m not going to bullshit you here; she’s not the easiest variety of cannabis to grow via the Matanuska Valley Thunderfuck’s genes. The Cherry Thunderfuck inherited what R.C. Clarke calls: “the creeper phenotype,” referring to morphology and not resin effects. I have only ever seen 2 of these creeper varieties in my life of growing cannabis. One being the MTF, and the other was a landrace and very kick-ass Cambodian. I’ve been growing cannabis for just about half a century now, so it’s pretty rare—LoL.
These creeper varieties have a tendency to fall over and continue to grow like many tomato plants grow, creeping along on the ground. Outdoors in plenty of wind, this is not a problem at all. Indoors without very good air movement, or outdoors without wind, this can present growing difficulties. Above in the photo, you can see an easy countermeasure simply using support stakes along with bendable “Fuzzy Sticks” works great to help with support—the small hassle is well worth it, in my opinion.
She has thinner stems, and is kind of petite, except when it comes to the buds. Beefy buds with thin petite stems, yum! Make sure your dark hours during flowering are pitch black; the Cherry Thunderfuck does not handle light leakage or light poisoning well at all during flowering. She will also not tolerate overwatering very well. But, as long as she’s happy, she’s very vigorous and fat! Best to have some growing skills under your belt before growing this one, I would suggest.
Afterword Smoking with Rev
Well, this is most def one of those varieties I do not smoke if I have things to do that involve attention to detail or math, heh heh. But, if you are just going to play some video games, get a haircut, maybe watch a simple plot movie, take a hike in a familiar area, or listen to some tunes, the Cherry Thunderfuck is a beautiful thing. The high type is what I call: “Drooling on Your Shoes” for a good reason. You will be stupid, stoned, pure and simple. You get pretty baked almost at once, but then about 10 minutes later, you will get hit with the Thunder wave that really messes you up, but good.
The flavors are like the smells, and really it is a super dank and almost sickeningly sweet candy/fruity thang. I find the flavors very addictive, and pretty sure you will too. Super stinky while growing also, so take note.
Here’s a link directly to the Cherry Thunderfuck over at KOS. Wanna read another MILF by yours truly? Check this out, MILF Fat Tuesday. Using the plant stakes for whole plant support and the “fuzzy sticks” to support axial branches fat with heavy buds works awesome. Well, my esteemed homeskillets, I’m outty for now but I’ll be back soon with another article for you here on SKUNK. L8r G8rs.

reserve your ad hereI'm The Rev, and I have been with SKUNK for about a decade now. I hail from Southern California, spent mucho time in Northern California, and now reside in Southern Oregon; always coastal. I am an all natural style cannabis grower and I have written a couple books on the subject - check out True Living Organics 2nd Edition on Amazon - I have been growing for over 45 years, and I have been breeding cannabis for over 30 years. Check out kingdomorganicseeds.com to see some exotic selections. Growing connoisseur cannabis is what I teach mostly, growing it in living soil without using liquid organic nutrients to feed the plant. I am also a highly skilled synthetics grower, hydroponics, aeroponics, DWC/SWC/NFT, Ebb and Flow, and soilless, but I cringe when smoking synthetic grown herbs, so for the last 15 years or so I preach the artisan style of all natural growing, specializing in container growing. Cheers and welcome aboard.
