West Pie'd
Also known as: West Pied
West Pie'd Strain Overview
West Pie'd is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing two popular West Coast genetics: Wedding Pie and Gelato 41. The strain emerged in the early 2020s as part of the 'dessert strain' trend that has dominated the California cannabis market, though its exact breeding history and timeline remain somewhat undocumented in public sources. Breeders sought to combine the creamy, sweet characteristics of Wedding Pie with the potent, balanced effects of Gelato 41, resulting in a strain that has gained recognition primarily through word-of-mouth and regional dispensary offerings rather than widespread commercial distribution.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, chunky structure characteristic of its indica-leaning heritage. The flowers display a striking visual appearance with deep purple and forest green hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty trichomes. The coloration tends to be more pronounced when grown in cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The buds are known for their sticky resin production and emit a complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with gassy undertones.
West Pie'd represents a continuation of the 'pie' and 'dessert' strain lineages that have become popular in recent years, though it remains less documented than its parent strains. Its regional popularity in West Coast markets suggests it may have been developed by boutique breeders or collectives rather than large-scale commercial operations. The strain's effects are reported to be well-balanced, making it suitable for both recreational and potential therapeutic applications, though comprehensive laboratory testing data remains limited compared to more established varieties.

West Pie'd Strain Growing Information
West Pie'd is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can adapt to outdoor growing in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors, with a bushy structure that may require some pruning for optimal light penetration. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold in the dense buds and providing adequate support for the weighty colas. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
