Pie Faced
Also known as: Pie Face, Pie-Faced
Pie Faced Strain Overview
Pie Faced is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular strains Cherry Pie and Face Off OG. The strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to combine the dessert-like qualities of Cherry Pie with the potent, relaxing effects of Face Off OG. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure within the cannabis breeding community, Pie Faced has gained recognition primarily through West Coast cultivators and has become increasingly available in legal markets.
The strain is characterized by dense, conical buds that display a striking visual appearance. The flowers typically exhibit deep forest green coloration with occasional purple hues, complemented by a thick coating of frosty white trichomes and vibrant orange pistils. The buds are often quite resinous, making them sticky to the touch. The name "Pie Faced" references both its genetic lineage and its flavor profile, which combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy, diesel undertones.
Pie Faced is noted for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its versatile effects and complex aroma profile. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Pie Faced has developed a dedicated following, particularly in regions where its parent strains have strong cultural significance.

Pie Faced Strain Growing Information
Pie Faced is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready around mid-October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter. Outdoor plants can yield 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The plants tend to grow to medium height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. They prefer a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors. Indoor growers should monitor humidity levels carefully during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in high humidity environments. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to overfeeding.
