Cherry Pie lives up to the name. Royal Queen Seeds created this feminized photoperiod by joining Granddaddy Purple, an indica heavyweight, with Durban Poison, a classic South African sativa. The two parents sit at opposite ends of the spectrum, and the cross lands at a comfortable 60% indica / 40% sativa that delivers both flavor and a well-rounded effect.
This is a strain for people who like their smoke to taste like dessert. Each bud carries fruity berry notes on top of vanilla and baked cookie, a profile that feels warm and familiar from the first draw to the last.
Growers get plenty to like as well. Cherry Pie finishes flowering in 55 to 60 days, roughly 8 to 8.5 weeks, and grows into wide yet compact plants that pack the canopy with dense colas. Indoors she reaches 3 to 4 feet (90–120 cm) and yields 14 to 16 oz/m² (395–455 g/m²). Outdoors she stretches to 5 to 6 feet (150–180 cm) and can produce 16 to 18 oz/plant (455–510 g/plant) in October.
Flavor and Effects: A Slice of Something Sweet
Open the jar and you get ripe blueberry and red fruit layered over vanilla and buttery cookie, with a light earthy edge that keeps the sweetness from getting heavy. The smoke is smooth and rich, and the fruit notes linger on the tongue well after the exhale. It is a profile that rarely gets old, even as a daily flavor.
With THC at up to 20%, the high arrives fast. Durban Poison shows itself first with a bright, cerebral lift that sharpens the senses and boosts mood. Granddaddy Purple follows with a gentle wave of body comfort, and the two settle into a balanced, creative and euphoric state that works almost anywhere.
That versatility is the point. Cherry Pie fits a lazy afternoon on the couch, a creative session at the desk or a laid-back evening with friends. It lifts without racing and relaxes without sinking you into the cushions.
Growing Cherry Pie Seeds Indoors and Out
Cherry Pie is easygoing about her environment and responds well to standard care. Indoors, topping once or twice and spreading branches with LST creates an even canopy that makes full use of her lateral growth. A SCROG net works well too. Keep humidity in check during late bloom, since the buds grow tight and dense.
Outdoors she does well in sunny gardens with fertile, well-drained soil, and Royal Queen Seeds rates her for regions with short summers. Harvest arrives in October. Mature plants give off fruity aromas and keep rich green hues right up to the chop.
