Sweet Cherry Pie
Also known as: Cherry Pie, Sweet Cherry
Sweet Cherry Pie Strain Overview
Sweet Cherry Pie is a popular hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s, primarily cultivated in California before spreading to other legal markets. The strain was developed by crossing two well-known varieties: Cherry Pie (itself a cross of Granddaddy Purple and Durban Poison) with an undisclosed sweet indica strain, though some sources suggest it may contain genetics from Cherry AK-47 or other cherry-flavored varieties. This combination created a strain that maintains the balanced effects of its Cherry Pie parent while enhancing the sweet, fruity characteristics that give it its distinctive name.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica heritage. The flowers display a vibrant color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented by bright orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty appearance. The visual appeal is complemented by a complex aroma profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones, creating an olfactory experience that many users find particularly enjoyable.
Sweet Cherry Pie has gained recognition not only for its pleasant sensory characteristics but also for its balanced effects that make it suitable for various times of day. The strain has become particularly popular in both medical and recreational markets due to its reliable performance and appealing flavor profile. While its exact genetic lineage beyond the Cherry Pie cross remains somewhat uncertain in public documentation, the strain has established itself as a consistent performer with predictable effects that have contributed to its enduring popularity.

Sweet Cherry Pie Strain Growing Information
Sweet Cherry Pie is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready around mid-October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, making them suitable for indoor spaces with limited vertical clearance. Sweet Cherry Pie prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity when grown outdoors. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and mold, particularly during the flowering stage when the dense buds develop. Some phenotypes may require support during late flowering as the weight of the buds increases.
