Cherry Pie Auto: Cerebral, Relaxing, and Fruity
Cherry Pie Auto pairs the fruity and moreish tastes of Cherry Pie with the speed of her ruderalis parent. Discover the key traits of this descendant of Granddaddy Purple and Durban Poison below.
Cherry Pie Auto: A Descendant of Granddaddy Purple & Durban Poison
Cherry Pie Auto has an impressive family tree. As the autoflowering version of the terpene-packed Cherry Pie, this strain has close links to both Granddaddy Purple and Durban Poison. These ancestors occupy opposite ends of the indica-sativa spectrum, meaning Cherry Pie Auto features a balanced genetic profile. The zingy and cerebral qualities of Durban Poison—a pure South African sativa—and the fruity terpenes of Granddaddy Purple both shine through in their fast-growing successor.
Cherry Pie Auto: Effects & Flavours
Cherry Pie Auto shares many of the effects and flavours of the original cultivar. Her moderate THC content of 19% drives a mentally uplifting yet physically relaxing experience. These contrasting but complementary effects make Cherry Pie Auto an excellent choice for any time of the day; fire up a bowl before knuckling down for work, or hit a joint shortly before bed to clear your head and relax. Alongside her pleasant effects, this cultivar also serves up complex tastes of blueberry, fruit, and candy.

Strain FAQ
Do genetics affect cannabis strain sweetness?
Absolutely! Sweet strains include Indica and Sativa genetics. This genetic variability gives hybrid strains a wide range of sweet flavours.
Has outdoor cannabis growing a lower carbon footprint than indoor?
Due to its low energy use for lights and HVAC systems, legal outdoor cannabis farming is environmentally friendly. This greener method reduces electricity use and the carbon footprint of growing cannabis.
Why are short-flowering strains recommended for indoors?
Small and fast-growing, short-flowering strains are popular for indoor use, particularly if there is limited space available. With faster cycles and better space utilisation, these strains are said to boost indoor production.
Do indica strains have more CBD?
Indica cultivars are often thought to be CBD-rich, however their cannabinoid makeup varies. Due to their terpene and cannabinoid compositions, they are said to provide a calming, tranquil body buzz.
When do Ruderalis plants flower?
Ruderalis flowers quite early, after 21 - 30 days. This fast flowering time is much faster than other cannabis strains.
