Granddaddy Purple is a parent of Cherry Pie.
Aroma and flavour
Reviewers most often pick tree fruit, berry and sweet when they describe Cherry Pie’s flavour. In lab data myrcene comes first, followed by caryophyllene and pinene. Grow notes for the strain say plants may come out fruity or diesel-smelling, so the nose can vary from one grower’s crop to the next.
Lineage
One parent is Granddaddy Purple, the purple indica known for grape and berry aromas. We stock that parent as Tegridy Extracts Grandaddy Purple Indica Shatter 1G ($10).
The other parent, F1 Durb, is a closely held plant that is rarely offered for sale. It is reported to be a cross of its breeder’s own “F1” and Durban, and the same breeder crossed it with GDP to make Cherry Pie. Its listed offspring include Forbidden Fruit and Cherry Runtz.
How we sell Cherry Pie
Cherry Pie comes in one size here: the Peach Panther Cherry Pie Hybrid Cured Resin Baller Jar 1oz, 28 g for $170, or about $6.07 a gram. Cured resin is extracted from cannabis that was dried and cured first, and cured resin vs live resin explains how it differs from resin made from freshly frozen plants.
Peach Panther adds naturally derived terpenes to this resin for flavour, and our listing describes it as cherry, sweet pastry and skunky. Some of what you taste comes from those added terpenes, so the jar may not line up with the strain’s lab terpene data in the table above.
The resin is soft enough to lift with a dab tool for a rig or a dab pen, and how to dab starts with a piece about the size of a grain of rice. The 16% THC figure describes flower. Concentrates often carry several times the THC of flower, so go by the number on the jar’s label.
To try Cherry Pie next to other strains, the jar is one of the picks in the BallerClub Mix & Match Cannabis Extracts 4 x 1oz, four 28 g jars chosen from the Peach Panther resins in our Baller Jars range plus three other extracts.
Indica, sativa and what to expect
Strain names and types are a starting point, not a guarantee. Studies of real cannabis products have found that labels don’t reliably predict a product’s chemistry, and two batches with the same name can differ. Read the product label for THC, and see Does indica make you tired? for why.
