Apple Pie
Apple Pie
Also known as: Sweet Apple Crumble Pie
Overview
Apple Pie is a rare sativa-dominant hybrid strain (70% sativa/30% indica) created through crossing Acapulco Gold and Highland Nepalese strains. This strain has gained recognition for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile that lives up to its dessert-inspired name. The strain features elongated, fluffy, spade-shaped forest green nuggets with sparse orange hairs and a frosty thick coating of golden amber crystal trichomes. Apple Pie has developed a reputation as an excellent daytime strain that provides functional effects without overwhelming sedation.
Note that there are multiple versions of Apple Pie from different breeders - the classic version from crossing Acapulco Gold × Highland Nepalese, and a modern version by Alien Genetics that incorporates Slymer and Sour Apple IBL genetics. Both versions share similar characteristics and effects profiles. The strain is celebrated for its ability to provide energizing effects while maintaining mental clarity, making it popular among users seeking productivity enhancement without the jittery side effects often associated with high-energy sativas.

Growing Information
Apple Pie can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with moderate difficulty level. The strain exhibits a slight stretching tendency during growth due to its sativa dominance. Indoor plants typically reach 0-4 feet (30-60 inches) and produce yields of 300-400g/m², while outdoor plants remain relatively compact and yield around 400-500g per plant. The flowering period is relatively fast at 6-9 weeks, with harvest ready around 59 days from germination. The strain thrives in warm, tropical-like conditions similar to Mediterranean climates. While buds may not be exceptionally dense, they form attractive clusters with good resin production. Growers should maintain well-controlled environments with proper light, humidity, and temperature management for optimal results.
