Pie
Also known as: Cherry Pie, Cherry Pie Kush
Pie Strain Overview
Pie, commonly known as Cherry Pie or Cherry Pie Kush, is a popular hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain was developed by crossing Granddaddy Purple with Durban Poison, creating a genetic blend that combines the relaxing qualities of an indica with the uplifting cerebral effects of a sativa. Its exact origins are somewhat debated within cannabis communities, but it is widely believed to have emerged in California during the early 2000s, becoming a staple in both medical and recreational markets across North America.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, medium-sized buds that display a vibrant color palette of deep green hues accented by purple undertones and fiery orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance that indicates its potency. The plant structure tends to be bushy with moderate internodal spacing, making it suitable for various cultivation environments. Cherry Pie has become particularly noted for its consistency in both effect and flavor, contributing to its enduring popularity among cannabis enthusiasts.
Notable features of the Pie strain include its complex aromatic profile and reliable effects. The name 'Cherry Pie' derives from its distinctive sweet and fruity scent that many users describe as reminiscent of baked cherry desserts with earthy undertones. This strain has won several cannabis cup awards and has been used as a parent in breeding numerous other popular varieties. Its balanced nature makes it suitable for daytime or evening use depending on individual tolerance and the specific phenotype.
