Cherry Pie OG
Cherry Pie × OG Kush
Cherry Pie OG is a hybrid strain recognized for its prominent dessert-like profile, combining sweet cherry notes with classic OG characteristics. It is commonly understood to be a cross between Cherry Pie and an OG Kush variety, though specific parentage can differ depending on the breeder. This combination often results in visually appealing buds and a complex aroma.
Appearance
Cherry Pie OG typically produces medium to large buds with dense structures, often described as golf-ball or teardrop shaped. The flowers usually display a deep olive green coloration, accented by amber or orange pistils. Purple hues may appear, particularly if the plant is exposed to cooler temperatures during its finishing stages, a trait inherited from its Granddaddy Purple lineage. The buds are often coated in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Cherry Pie OG is characterized by a dominant sweet cherry scent, reminiscent of cherry pie filling, layered over a foundation of vanilla pastry and musky kush. Underlying notes of pine, spice, and a subtle fuel or diesel undertone contribute to its complexity. On the palate, the flavor follows suit with initial sweet cherry notes, followed by hints of vanilla, brown sugar, and cinnamon spice. The OG influence brings forth flavors of pine resin and pepper, with a lingering fuel note on the exhale.
Effects
Consumers often report that Cherry Pie OG delivers a euphoric experience, characterized by an uplifted mood and a mentally engaging high. While it can provide a sense of relaxation, it is generally not considered sedating, making it suitable for daytime or early evening use. The effects are often described as socially friendly and conducive to keeping the mind active rather than feeling overly sedated.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The terpene profile of Cherry Pie OG commonly features myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene, contributing to its sweet, citrus, and peppery notes. Linalool may add floral undertones, while humulene can introduce a dry, hoppy bitterness. This strain generally tests between 18-26% THC, with minimal CBD content (<1%). Trace cannabinoids like CBG may also be present. Total terpene content typically ranges from 1.5-3.5% by weight.
Origins & Lineage
Cherry Pie OG is widely considered a hybrid cross between the strain Cherry Pie and a specific cut of OG Kush. The exact OG Kush parent can vary, with examples including SFV OG or Tahoe OG. Cherry Pie itself is a hybrid derived from Granddaddy Purple and Durban Poison. This lineage contributes the sweet cherry and berry notes from Cherry Pie, combined with the potent, fuel-heavy characteristics of OG Kush.
