Sweet Cherry Pie by Sweet Seeds

Sweet Cherry Pie brings two heavyweight US strains into one feminized hybrid. Sweet Seeds crossed hand-picked elite clones of Cherry Pie (Grand Daddy Purple x Durban Poison) and Gelato (Sunset Sherbet x Thin Mint Cookies), both famous for high THC, dessert flavors, and striking bag appeal.

The result is a mostly indica plant, 75% Indica / 25% Sativa, that builds compact, thick buds covered in aromatic trichomes. Thanks to its Grand Daddy Purple ancestry, some plants show purple or reddish tones in their leaves and flowers as they ripen.

THC sits at 18–25% with around 0.5% CBD. Flowering takes 8–9 weeks indoors, and yields reach 400–550 g/m² (1.31–1.80 oz/ft²) under lights or 350–600 g/plant (12.3–21.2 oz/plant) outdoors.

Sweet Cherry Pie Genetics: Cherry Pie x Gelato

Cherry Pie contributes the fruity, cherry-tart aroma and the purple-hued potential of Grand Daddy Purple, along with a touch of Durban Poison energy. Gelato adds the creamy, cookie-like sweetness of Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint Cookies, plus dense bud structure and heavy resin.

Sweet Seeds selected an elite clone of each to build this hybrid, listed under variety code SWS92. The genetics lean strongly indica, which shows in the plant’s compact frame and thick, chunky colas.

Aroma, Flavor, and Effect

The buds smell sweet and fruity, like home-baked cookies cooling next to a bowl of ripe cherries. Underneath sit earthy shades of tart wild berries and a bright citrus edge. It is a dessert table in a jar, rich and sweet but with enough acidity to stay lively.

The flavor follows the aroma closely: cherry and cookie dough on the inhale, then berries and a hint of citrus on the exhale. The heavy trichome coverage keeps the profile strong through drying and curing.

Despite its indica dominance, the effect is relaxing yet well balanced. The body settles into comfortable calm, while the mind stays clear enough for creativity to flow and focus to sharpen. That mix suits relaxed afternoons, creative hobbies, or a laid-back evening with friends.

Growing Sweet Cherry Pie Indoors and Outdoors

Indoors, Sweet Cherry Pie stays fairly compact, as expected from a 75% Indica hybrid. It works well in tents with limited height and responds to topping and LST, which open the canopy and help the side branches build solid buds. A SCROG net can even out the canopy in larger spaces. Flowering takes 8–9 weeks.

Because the buds are compact and thick, airflow is important during late bloom. Keep humidity moderate, defoliate lightly to improve circulation, and run a carbon filter once the sweet cherry aroma intensifies. Slightly cooler nights in the final weeks may help bring out the purple tones in plants that carry them.

Outdoors, Sweet Cherry Pie appreciates a warm, sunny location and fertile soil. Each plant can produce 350–600 g (12.3–21.2 oz). Its relatively short flowering phase helps it finish before cold, wet autumn weather sets in.
