Cherry Pie

About

Cherry Pie was bred in the early 2000s by Ken "PieGuy" Dumetz of Powerzzzup Genetics, working alongside Jai "Jigga" Chang of the Cookie Family. The cross is Granddaddy Purple crossed with an F1 Durban Poison, pairing a classic California indica with the East African sativa that would become the genetic backbone of the entire Cookies lineage. Cherry Pie sits as a foundational strain in that family tree, contributing directly to the development of Girl Scout Cookies, Sunset Sherbet, and by extension Gelato and every Gelato-derived strain in today's commercial market. The name comes from the dominant aroma, a sweet cherry and berry character layered over a vanilla-pastry base that reads like its namesake. The flavor tags in our records confirm this: berry, earthy, sweet, and vanilla lead the profile. The terpene data in our database is distinctive. Linalool leads at 0.74%, with caryophyllene close behind at 0.66%. That is an unusual top pairing, since linalool typically sits as a supporting terpene rather than a primary one in hybrid strains. The floral-spicy combination is what gives Cherry Pie its characteristic aroma, quite different from straight berry or pure Cookie-family profiles. Nerolidol at 0.12% adds another rare terpene note that contributes to the complexity. Our database chemotype classification is "Red (Mixed)", the category we use when no single terpene dominates the profile by a meaningful margin, even though linalool technically leads. THC ranges between 13.9 and 18.8% across the lab samples in our database, moderate by modern standards. Reviewers describe the effects as euphoric leading, with creative, focused, relaxed, and uplifted following, a five-stage spread that matches Cherry Pie's reputation as a daytime-into-evening functional hybrid.
