SWEET GUM X CHERRY PIE

SWEET GUM X CHERRY PIE

Sweet Gum x Cherry Pie is a popular and potent indica-dominant hybrid. This strain is a cross between the best and tastiest genetics on the cannabis market and offers smokers some of the best characteristics of both parent strains. The balanced, cerebral high of Sweet Gum x Cherry Pie can be enjoyed in a wide variety of environments. This versatility, along with the strain's sour and fruity flavour, has made it a staple in California dispensaries. They have tested multiple flower samples of Sweet Gum x Cherry Pie and have found consistently high THC levels, averaging around 24%.

SMELL, TASTE AND EFFECT

Sweet Gum x Cherry Pie flowers are small to medium in size and have a bud structure characteristic of other predominantly indica strains. The tightly curled leaves are densely packed and threaded with vibrant orange pistils. The leaves are mainly moss green, although some phenotypes show flashes of purple; the latter colour is due to high concentrations of pigments in the plant's genes that bring out colours other than green when stimulated by low temperatures during the growth process. The buds are an impressive lilac colour, not very big, but really nice in colour and shape and are covered with translucent white trichomes, which give the small buds a silvery sheen and a very resinous texture.

When Sweet Gum x Cherry Pie is well cured, the buds give off a sweet, rich cherry flavour, accented by light herbal and floral notes. Moister, hashish notes linger underneath and become apparent when the buds are ground or opened. When burned, it gives off a smooth smoke that is easy to inhale and on the exhale tastes of toast and biscuit with a hint of sweet fruit. Smokers should be aware that this strain can be particularly pungent; those concerned about discretion should take the necessary precautions.

Sweet Gum x Cherry Pie has a slowly rising high, beginning as a progressive feeling of relaxation. At first, smokers may detect a slight sinus pressure. After several minutes, Cherry Pie dissolves tension in the core and extremities and facilitates deep, easy breathing. Users may feel that any mild, short-term worries or stressors have evaporated. This pleasant sensation can be the perfect accompaniment to a morning cup of coffee or an evening drink. As the high progresses, the sativa side of this strain emerges, working on the user's perceptions. Visual or auditory stimuli may take on a new intensity, and thoughts may seem much more interesting. However, this is not to say that it strays easily into paranoid, overly cerebral territory. The relaxing indica base of this strain allows most smokers to enjoy the trip while encouraging creative and analytical work. Because it acts on both the body and the mind, Sweet Gum x Cherry Pie is good for activities that involve both, such as video games and exercise. In the right environment, it can also be a powerful aphrodisiac.

CROP

Although the provenance of Sweet Gum x Cherry Pie is murky and no reputable breeder claims to have originated the strain. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, although successful outdoor cultivation requires a warm, humid, Mediterranean climate with constant daytime sunlight. Plants grow short and bushy, with wide side branches. Growers may need to periodically trim back light-blocking fan leaves to maximise the growth of low-growing flowering nodes. Those looking to enhance the appeal of this strain with its purple bag should also expose plants to cooler than average temperatures during the growing process. Cherry Pie flowers in 8 to 9 weeks when grown indoors and is ready for harvest in mid-October when grown outdoors.
