Meat Pie by Cannarado Genetics
Unknown
Meat Pie is a predominantly indica cultivar developed by Cannarado Genetics, a breeder recognized for its dessert-inspired creations and potent resin production. This strain is noted for its complex aroma profile, blending savory and sweet notes, and is often sought after for its relaxing qualities.
Appearance
Meat Pie plants are typically compact and indica-leaning, featuring broad, dark green leaves that can develop deep purple or plum hues, especially under cooler temperatures. The buds are dense and chunky, often described as golf-ball or egg-shaped, with thick calyxes and minimal fox-tailing when grown in optimal conditions. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosted appearance.
Aroma & Flavor
True to its name, Meat Pie offers a layered aroma that combines savory, peppery, and earthy notes with a distinct pastry-sweet foundation. Initial scents can be reminiscent of roasted herbs and warm dough, with underlying woody and earthy undertones. Upon breaking apart the buds, sharper notes like garlic-pepper and a subtle onion-like pungency may emerge. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, presenting a complex interplay of savory, sweet, and sometimes peppery tastes.
Effects
This cultivar is indica-dominant, generally leading to a weighted body feel and relaxing effects that are well-suited for evening consumption. Consumers often report a sense of calm and contentment, making it a popular choice for unwinding. Its effects are primarily centered around relaxation and a deeply satisfying experience.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Meat Pie typically exhibits a THC content ranging from 20-26%, with CBD levels below 1%. The terpene profile is complex, contributing to its unique aroma and flavor. Key terpenes often present include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Humulene, and Ocimene, which collectively create its signature savory-sweet and peppery bouquet.
Growing
As a mostly indica strain, Meat Pie tends to grow into stout plants with dense structures and broad leaves, often finishing flowering within 56–65 days. It is well-suited for indoor cultivation and can perform reliably in SCROG or SOG setups. The plants are generally noted for their genetic stability, consistent height, and robust resin production, making them attractive for both hobbyist and commercial growers.
