What is the Pie After Dark strain?
Pie After Dark is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 28.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and diesel flavor profile.
Pie After Dark is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Cherry Pie with Blackberry Kush. This strain emerged in the late 2010s as breeders sought to combine the dessert-like qualities of Cherry Pie with the deep relaxation effects of Blackberry Kush. The resulting cultivar has gained popularity among connoisseurs for its complex flavor profile and balanced effects that lean slightly indica-dominant.
The strain produces dense, conical buds with a structure reminiscent of its Cherry Pie parent. The flowers display a striking appearance with deep purple and forest green coloration, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance that indicates high potency. The leaves tend to curl slightly inward, creating a compact bud structure that is both visually appealing and practical for cultivation.
Notable features include its distinctive aroma that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones, and its relatively fast flowering time compared to other high-THC hybrids. The strain has gained particular attention in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, where it has become a favorite among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients seeking relief from various conditions.

How do you grow Pie After Dark?
Pie After Dark is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid-October in northern hemisphere climates. 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 thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and implementing training techniques like topping or LST (low-stress training) to maximize yield. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and benefit from a gradual reduction in temperature during the final weeks of flowering to enhance purple coloration.
