Summer Pie
Also known as: Summer Pie OG
What is the Summer Pie strain?
Summer Pie is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
Summer Pie is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular Cherry Pie with an undisclosed OG Kush phenotype. The strain emerged in the early 2010s from California's competitive cannabis breeding scene, where breeders sought to combine Cherry Pie's sweet dessert flavors with OG Kush's potent effects and distinctive terpene profile. Summer Pie represents a modern approach to hybrid development, aiming to provide a well-rounded experience that appeals to both recreational and medicinal users.
The strain produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, indica-dominant structure despite its hybrid genetics. The flowers typically display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, while orange pistils weave throughout the dense flower structure. The visual appeal is enhanced by the strain's resin production, which is notable even among high-THC varieties.
Summer Pie is particularly recognized for its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy, diesel undertones. The name accurately reflects the strain's sensory characteristics, which many users describe as reminiscent of fresh-baked fruit pies. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Summer Pie has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile.

How do you grow Summer Pie?
Summer Pie is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for intermediate growers. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late 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 adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled environments 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. Summer Pie responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training, which can help manage height and improve light penetration to lower branches.
Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold in the dense buds and careful nutrient management, as the strain can be sensitive to overfeeding. The plants benefit from a consistent light schedule during flowering and may require support for heavy colas in the final weeks. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain optimal pH levels in the growing medium for best results.
