Chempie by Ripper Seeds

Chempie is a triple hybrid from Ripper Seeds that brings together Cherry Pie, Chemdawg and Do-Si-Dos. The idea was to open a new genetic pool built from some of the leading strains of the moment, giving growers room to hunt for a one-of-a-kind phenotype.

The breeder calls it its terpene pie, and the nickname fits: aromas range from sweet red berries to sour, earthy and spicy notes. With 60% Sativa and 40% Indica genetics, it produces big clusters of wide, compact flowers, and its resin quality earned it First Prize in the Extractions category at Expogrow 2018.

Easy to grow and generous at harvest, Chempie pairs a low-maintenance grow with a rich, shifting flavor profile, which makes it equally appealing to newer growers and to dedicated pheno hunters.

Chempie Genetics: Cherry Pie x Chemdawg x Do-Si-Dos

The Cherry Pie x Chemdawg base supplies the fruit and the chem. Cherry Pie adds the sweet-tart red berry notes that define the opening, while Chemdawg brings earthy depth, spice and the genetic weight of one of the most influential lines in modern cannabis.

Do-Si-Dos (Face-Off OG x OGKB) completes the triple cross. It adds a creamy, indica layer, firms up the buds and boosts resin production, tying the three lineages into a cohesive whole. Because three parents are involved, phenotypes vary, and each harvest may express a slightly different take on the profile.

Aroma, Flavor, and Effect

The Chempie aroma is broad. Some plants lean toward sweet, tart red berries, others toward sour earth and spice with a chemical edge from Chemdawg. Across the range, Do-Si-Dos wraps everything in a creamy base that gives the aroma body and staying power.

On the palate, berry sweetness typically leads, followed by sour, earthy and spicy tones and a creamy finish. The breeder sums up the flavor as sour and earthy, and many phenotypes add plenty of fruit on top of that foundation.

The high is positive and deeply relaxing. The 60/40 Sativa-Indica balance brings a cheerful, functional mood up front, then a progressive body relaxation spreads in, inviting rest without shutting everything down. It suits social afternoons as well as calm evenings at home.

Growing Chempie Indoors and Outdoors

Chempie is easy to grow and highly productive. It responds very well to FIM pruning, which pushes out long arms that even out across the upper canopy. Removing the lower branches focuses the plant’s energy on the main production, and the result is a flat, productive top.

Indoors, flowering takes around 60 days, but as a triple hybrid it can vary by about a week depending on phenotype. During bloom it throws long, thin pistils that develop into large clusters of wide, compact flowers with a generous resin coat.

Outdoors, Chempie finishes in October in the Northern Hemisphere. Give it full sun and room to spread its long arms, and expect the high yield the breeder attributes to this strain.
