Sweet Seeds releases feminized seeds from Sweet Cherry Pie, a strain that will only develope photodependant female plants. These are plants that will grow with a hybrid structure, that can come out in different phenotypes (all of them interesting). This is why this could be a very interesting strain to pheno hunt and keep a motherplant.
Being a genetics with a clear kush heritage, Sweet Cherry Pie flowers will have an amazing look, with compact, dense resin coated nugs releasing sweet and fruity aroma.
Even though it's true this is a strain mostly grown indoors, we would like to remind those outdoor farmers that Sweet Cherry Pie is a great choice for outdoor growing, even in areas where summers are short and first rains arrive soon. Its quick flowering period will get her ready to harvest earlier than other strains.
Sweet Cherry Pie in growing stage
Even in its genes there's Grand Daddy Purple, known for its compact size, Sweet Cherry Pie is a plant with a hybrid growth (thanks its crossing with Gelato), what comes out in plants with a quick developement, a large main cola and good side-branching.
Indoors our tip is to keep them in vegetative stage for 4-5 weeks, until the average height is higher than 30-35 cm. Once you git this size you can force plants to bloom stage as plants will be ready to give you its best performance. Those growers who prefer working with less planbts, can enlarge the vegetative stage, even though you'll need to prune your plants (or use advanced growing techniques to control height).
We remind all growers that as an hybrid strain containing sativa genes, it is importantant to avoid a too long vegetative stage, unless you like your plant grow over your head (this strain can double or even triple its size when flipping them to flower).
If you begin from cuttings, in 10-15 days plants should have grown enough to cover your garden with a SOG and get great results in yields per sqm.
Outdoors, if you want your plants to get its full potential it is recommended to grow them in-ground. Those who prefer more compact sizes, and planbts more discreet, can wait to germinate until early-late May to shorten the growing stage.
Sweet Cherry Pie in bloom
Sweet Cherry Pie is a plant that adapts quick to shorter days season that enhance flowering stage in plants. Indoors it usually shows its first flowers after 7-10 days to 12/12 (outdoors it mostly starts blooming in early August).
Once plants end the transition to flowering stage and start producing its first flowers, Sweet Cherry Pie will surprise growers with a very quick flowering period of only 8 weeks, in which will build large and dense flowers coated with copious amounts of resin that release a deep and strong smell.
Also because of its parental Grand Daddy Purple, it is possible some phenotypes develope purple tones that makes them great looking appeal. Most individuals are able to show these colors if temperatures during last 10 days of flowering stage decrease enough.
About special needings or cares only remind you that as a kush strain, it is normal your plants suffering a heavy stretch the first 10 days to 12/12 enlarging its internodal space. Apart from this, it is a strain that responds good to any prune and advanced growing techniques you might apply, like SOG, SCROG, super cropping, FIM...

It will also thank a good growing medium and organic nutrients to show its best side. In general we do recommend growing her in pots bigger than usual (pruning when necessary) and if possible in-ground (where she will reward you with a massive yield).

Tips to grow Sweet Seeds Sweet Cherry Pie
At SantYerbasi we like to share only those tips that really make a difference when growing a strain, so you feel you got the best performance from it.
According to this, if you will grow Sweet Cherry Pie indoors we like to tell you we got the best yields growing in a SOG type of garden. It's true the difference in yields between this type of garden and the SCROG garden wasn't much, so more than a yield difference what we really found is a difference of almost 15 days less per cycle when grown in Sea of Green (the difference is the extra days used to keep her in vegetative stage to cover the whole growing surface). So according to this we aim you to grow her in SOG for two reasons: Yields and speed.
Outdoors we do care about advantages of growing Sweet Cherry Pie in big pots, even though we do know that the highest yields will only be got when grown in-ground. If you want to grow giants, we do recommend you to prune every 15 days along vegetative stage, to help promoting a side-branching growth. If you do the pruning properly, we will reduce notoriously the possibility of brakes, and also mold appearance in flowers.
