Cherry Pie is a hybrid strain that gives you a perfect mix of experiences that range from a good old energy boost to pleasant and soft sedation you’d rarely see in a single bud. Cherry Pie strain is known for its soft onset and almost seamless offset that does not leave you numb laying down on your couch. It makes Cherry Pie Kush perfect for a mid-day sash — you’ll be able to smoke it, have a good time, and keep up with your daily business as nothing happened. Thanks to its moderate-to-high THC level content of about 18-21%, this strain comes and goes softly, in waves, and does not make you go nuts. 

The history of this strain started in San Francisco, a couple of decades ago when the Bay Area’s Pieguy has come up with the idea to combine the effects of two potent strains. These guys took Durban Poison — a potent energizing Sativa and Granddaddy Purple — a good old Indica that knocks you off your feet real good. The combination of the two has given us this OG strain — one of the best hybrids ever with 60/40 ratio.

Common Effects

The effects of that marijuana strain are hard to predict and they are more or less individual to every smoker. Generally, the smokers would experience the array of effects that are typical for both types of weed coming in waves, including:

• Energy boost
• Creativeness
• Happiness
• Relaxation
• Good appetite
• Activeness

Medicinal users apply it to help with:

• Pains
• Depression
• Stress
• Fatigue
• Inflammation

This weed is a quite potent pain killer, so you can smoke it to relieve your physical pains and aches. A combination of potent sedative and energizing experiences might not be a good idea for people with unstable mental health though, so you might want to think twice before you smoke it in case you have any mental condition associated with paranoia or obsessive behavior.

Those consumers for whom this strain is too mild often choose Peanut Butter Breath as similar in effects, but with higher THC level and more pungent taste.

Aroma and Taste of Cherry Pie Strain

The smell and aroma of that weed is a different story though: it combines herbal and pine smells that create this unique palette that lets you know immediately someone’s been smoking some good stuff out there. The taste is classic for any weed and depends on the way of consuming it.

Information for Growers

Cherry Pie weed is quite easy to take care of and grow, and thanks to the yield, you can grow it in your garden or inside a medium hydroponics station. The Cherry Pie genetics makes that weed is resilient to most diseases and does not need much care and attention throughout its growth cycle. Flowering time is 8 to 9 weeks, which is great for both commercial growers and just impatient smokers.
