Papaya Pie
Also known as: Papaya Cake
Papaya Pie Strain Overview
Papaya Pie is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular Papaya strain with Wedding Cake. This genetic combination creates a balanced hybrid that leans slightly toward indica effects while maintaining some sativa characteristics. The strain emerged in the late 2010s as breeders sought to combine Papaya's tropical fruit flavors with Wedding Cake's dessert-like qualities and potent effects.
The strain produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, chunky structure typical of indica-dominant hybrids. The nugs are typically forest green with occasional purple hues and are covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes. Orange pistils weave throughout the buds, creating a visually striking appearance. The aroma is immediately noticeable upon opening a container, with strong tropical fruit notes reminiscent of ripe papaya, complemented by sweet vanilla and earthy undertones.
Papaya Pie has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced effects and exceptional flavor profile. The strain is known for providing a relaxing body high while maintaining mental clarity, making it suitable for various times of day. Growers appreciate its relatively straightforward cultivation process and generous yields, though it requires careful attention to humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold development in its dense buds.

Papaya Pie Strain Growing Information
Papaya Pie is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outside.
Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and can grow taller outdoors if not trained. Papaya Pie responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields. The dense bud structure requires good air circulation and humidity control (ideally below 50% during late flowering) to prevent mold and bud rot. The plants have moderate nutrient requirements and benefit from a balanced feeding schedule with slightly increased phosphorus during flowering.
