About Cherry Pie
Genetics & strain profile
Cherry Pie is bred from Granddaddy Purple and Durban Poison: the grape-sweet, purple-tinged indica crossed with the clean, energetic African sativa, which gives a mostly indica hybrid with up to 28% THC that still has a lift to it. It has five reviews averaging 4.6 out of 5, and they describe a plant that grows well in Canada: “great strain — high germination rate and plenty of large colas, very mould and mildew resistant, ready by early October, early samples produced a happy long-lasting buzz”, “beautiful strain, easy to grow and huge dense resiny buds”, “it clones well and the aroma at 32 days in flower is amazing”, and two Quebec growers reporting 100% germination and an “excellent finished product”. No reviewer reports a problem beyond the usual care a dense-budded strain needs. Our seeds are guaranteed.
How Cherry Pie grows
It flowers in just 8 to 9 weeks with up to 450 g/m² indoors; the plant is medium-sized with the sturdy branching of its Granddaddy Purple side, it clones well, and reviewers describe “huge dense resiny buds” and “plenty of large colas”. Outdoors, plan to harvest late September to early October — one reviewer had it “ready by early October” — with up to 450 g per plant depending on growing conditions, a window that suits southern Quebec, Ontario, the Maritimes and coastal BC. It is mould and mildew resistant for a strain with buds this dense, which is the thing growers praise most; still keep the air moving in a wet fall. It is a moderate feeder, and the Granddaddy Purple colour shows when night temperatures drop in the last weeks. Germination has been reliable — two reviewers report 100%.
Taste, aroma and effect
Sweet cherry, with earthy, floral and herbal notes — the aroma one grower found “amazing” a month into flower, cherry pastry over a hint of Durban spice. The effect is creative and euphoric, with a relaxing finish: a happy, clear-headed start from the Durban side that settles into an easy body, “a happy long-lasting buzz” in a reviewer’s words. At up to 28% THC it is very strong, so start small. For the parents, see Granddaddy Purple and Durban Poison; for its best-known child, Birthday Cake; for other cherry strains, Black Cherry OG.
