Apple Pie by Scott Family Farms
Unknown
Apple Pie is a sativa-dominant cultivar developed by Scott Family Farms, a breeder noted for its craft approach and meticulous phenotype selection. Originating from West Coast cannabis circles, this strain gained recognition for its pleasant, daytime-appropriate effects and a distinct aroma reminiscent of baked goods.
Appearance
Apple Pie plants typically exhibit a medium-tall stature with a sativa-like structure, often reaching heights between 120-180 cm indoors. They feature moderately spaced internodes, which aids in canopy light penetration and even bud development. The buds are generally spear-shaped and dense, with a good calyx-to-leaf ratio that simplifies the trimming process. Trichomes are abundant, giving the flowers a frosty appearance, and pistils mature to a copper-orange hue against lime-to-forest-green bracts. Under cooler temperatures, some plants may display mild purple coloration on the sugar leaves.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Apple Pie is a complex profile featuring notes of crisp orchard fruit, often compared to fresh apples, intertwined with zesty citrus. Underlying this are warm bakery-like scents, reminiscent of cinnamon and brown sugar, contributing to its signature pastry-like bouquet. The flavor follows suit, offering a sweet and fruity experience with herbal undertones.
Effects
Apple Pie is generally described as providing a clean, uplifting, and clear-headed high, making it suitable for daytime use. Users often report feeling more focused and energized, contributing to a balanced and comfortable experience without significant sedation.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific percentages are not widely published, the terpene profile of Apple Pie is thought to be led by limonene and caryophyllene, with supporting notes from linalool, humulene, and potentially terpinolene. This combination contributes to its characteristic aroma and flavor. The THC content typically ranges from 15-25%, with CBD levels below 1%.
Growing
Cultivators report that Apple Pie plants display stable vigor and reliable sativa expression. They tend to stretch approximately 1.5–2.0 times their initial height after the light cycle is flipped to flowering. The strain is known for above-average resin production, with dense trichome coverage on the bracts and sugar leaves. It is considered a modern sativa hybrid that is refined for both its aromatic qualities and relative ease of cultivation.
Origins & Lineage
Apple Pie was bred by Scott Family Farms, a breeder known for boutique selections and careful phenotype hunting. While the exact genetic lineage has not been officially published, the strain is characterized by its sativa-dominant morphology and uplifting effects, suggesting sativa-leaning parentage. It gained initial traction in West Coast cannabis communities before wider distribution through clone swaps and limited seed releases.
