Cherry Pie Redux by Silverback Genetics
Granddaddy Purple × Durban Poison
Cherry Pie Redux is a modern iteration of a classic hybrid developed by Silverback Genetics. This cultivar aims to refine the original Cherry Pie's desirable traits, focusing on consistent aroma, structure, and balanced effects for contemporary cultivation and consumption.
Appearance
Cherry Pie Redux typically grows to a medium height, exhibiting symmetrical branching that responds well to training techniques like topping. It features moderate internodal spacing, allowing for dense cola formation. The flowers are notably resinous, appearing frosted and sugar-dusted by mid-bloom, with a base color of mottled olive-green, amber pistils, and occasional violet undertones, especially when exposed to cooler late-night temperatures.
Aroma & Flavor
This strain is recognized for its distinct cherry pastry aroma, a signature trait inherited from its lineage. The flavor profile often mirrors this, presenting a complex bouquet that carries notes of sweet cherry, often with hints of grape and vanilla. Underlying herbal and floral undertones can also be present, contributing to its dessert-like character.
Effects
Cherry Pie Redux is characterized by balanced effects, providing a sense of calm without leading to excessive sedation. It offers a clear-headed experience that can be both relaxing and gently uplifting, making it suitable for various times of day. Consumers often report a pleasant body ease combined with mental clarity.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific lab data may vary, Cherry Pie Redux is often associated with a terpene profile rich in beta-caryophyllene and limonene, complemented by myrcene. Secondary terpenes like linalool, humulene, and ocimene may also be present. The THC content typically ranges from 18-22%, with CBD levels generally below 1%.
Growing
Cherry Pie Redux is considered a manageable hybrid for cultivation, suitable for both indoor and outdoor settings. It exhibits medium vigor and responds well to training, favoring lateral growth for efficient canopy filling. The flowering period aligns with classic Cherry Pie timing, and the buds tend to be moderately dense, rewarding growers with good yield-density ratios when managed properly.
Origins & Lineage
Bred by Silverback Genetics, Cherry Pie Redux is a reinterpretation of the original Cherry Pie. While specific parentage for the Redux version isn't detailed, the original Cherry Pie is widely understood to be a cross between Granddaddy Purple and Durban Poison. This hybrid lineage combines the dessert-like qualities of Granddaddy Purple with the spirited lift of Durban Poison, with Redux selections aiming to enhance consistency and uniformity.
