Sweet Cherry Pie Cannabis Seeds by Sweet Seeds
Sweet Cherry Pie is an indica-dominant feminised cannabis seed (75% indica / 25% sativa) from Sweet Seeds, bred from a Cherry Pie x Gelato cross that delivers deep purple colouring, fruity cherry aromas, and yields up to 550g/m² indoors. If you want a plant that looks as good as she smells and produces enough bud to fill your stash jars twice over, this is the one.
Sweet Cherry Pie Seed Genetics and Growing Profile
Sweet Cherry Pie gets her character from two heavyweights: Cherry Pie and Gelato. That parentage gives you a plant that leans heavily indica at 75%, with just enough sativa influence (25%) to keep the structure manageable and the growth vigorous. Sweet Seeds have done the selection work here — what you get is a stable hybrid that performs consistently whether you're running her indoors under lights or outdoors in a Mediterranean-style climate.
One thing we'd flag straight away: the colouring on this strain is genuinely striking. Dark red and deep purple tones creep onto the leaves and flowers as she matures. It's not just marketing — she actually looks like something you'd want to photograph. The buds develop dense, frosty, and absolutely drenched in resin, which makes sense given the Gelato side of the family tree.

Growing Sweet Cherry Pie Seeds Indoors and Outdoors
Sweet Cherry Pie is a rewarding grow for newcomers and experienced cultivators alike, and she's genuinely forgiving if your environment isn't absolutely dialled in. That said, she'll reward you handsomely if it is.
Indoors, expect a flowering period of around 8-9 weeks. In optimal conditions — proper lighting, consistent temperature around 22-26°C, and good airflow — you're looking at returns of 400-550g/m². That's a solid haul for a plant that doesn't demand expert-level attention. Her indica-dominant structure means she stays relatively compact, which makes her a good fit for tents and smaller spaces. She responds well to low-stress training (LST) and techniques like lollipopping, where you strip the lower growth to push energy into the top colas.
Outdoors, she'll be ready for harvest in late September and can produce up to 350-600g/plant. That upper range requires a decent growing season and plenty of direct sunlight, but even in less than ideal conditions she'll put out respectable numbers. The purple and red colouring tends to intensify with cooler night temperatures towards the end of flowering — so if you're growing in a climate where autumn brings cool evenings, you'll see those colours really pop.
The honest limitation: she's not the tallest plant you'll ever grow, so if you're after a towering outdoor specimen, something with more sativa genetics might be a better shout. But for most setups, her compact, bushy structure is actually an advantage — less staking, less chance of branches snapping under bud weight.
Sweet Cherry Pie Aroma, Flavour, and Bud Quality
This is where Sweet Cherry Pie really earns her name. Crack open a cured jar and you get hit with a wave of sweet cherry and rich fruit — it's not subtle. There's a baked pastry quality underneath, almost like an actual cherry pie cooling on a windowsill. The Gelato genetics add a creamy, dessert-like smoothness that rounds out the sharper fruit notes.
The buds themselves are dense, compact, and coated in a thick layer of trichomes that make them sticky to handle. The dark purple and red colouring carries through to the finished product, so you end up with buds that look as impressive in the jar as they did on the plant. If you've ever grown a strain that smelled amazing during flowering but lost most of its character after drying, Sweet Cherry Pie is the opposite — proper curing actually brings out more complexity in the terpene profile.
Compared to something like Sweet Seeds' Cream Caramel, which leans more towards earthy sweetness, Sweet Cherry Pie is distinctly fruitier and sharper on the nose. If you prefer your terps on the sweet and fruity side rather than the earthy and musky side, this is the better pick.
How to Grow Sweet Cherry Pie Seeds
- Germinate your Sweet Cherry Pie seeds using the paper towel method or directly in a starter plug. Keep the environment warm (around 22-25°C) and moist. Taproots typically emerge within 24-72 hours.
- Transplant seedlings into their growing medium once the taproot is 1-2cm long. Sweet Cherry Pie does well in soil, coco, or hydro — pick what you're comfortable with.
- During vegetative growth, maintain 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness. Her indica structure means she'll bush out rather than stretch up, so consider topping or LST early to open up the canopy and maximise light penetration.
- Switch to a 12/12 light cycle to trigger flowering. Indoor flowering takes approximately 8-9 weeks. Watch for the purple and red colouring to develop — it's a good visual indicator that she's progressing well.
- If using lollipopping, remove lower growth during the first two weeks of flowering to direct energy to the main colas. Don't strip too aggressively — remove the bottom third of growth at most.
- Monitor trichome development with a jeweller's loupe in the final weeks. Harvest when trichomes shift from clear to milky with around 10-20% amber for the fullest expression of her indica-leaning effects.
- Dry in a dark, well-ventilated space at around 18-21°C and 55-60% humidity for 7-14 days. Cure in airtight jars for at least 2-3 weeks, burping daily for the first week. The cherry and fruit aromas intensify significantly with proper curing.
Why Sweet Cherry Pie Seeds Deserve a Spot in Your Garden
We've seen a lot of "dessert" strains come through over the years, and plenty of them are all name and no substance. Sweet Cherry Pie from Sweet Seeds is not one of those. The Cherry Pie x Gelato cross genuinely delivers on the flavour promise — you can smell the cherry from across the room when the jars come open. And the yields back it up: 400-550g/m² indoors is not a number that disappoints, especially from a plant that doesn't require advanced growing skills to hit those figures.
What makes her stand out in the Sweet Seeds catalogue specifically is the combination of bag appeal and productivity. The purple and red colouring isn't just a gimmick — it's consistent, it's dramatic, and it makes the finished buds look genuinely special. If you're growing for yourself or for friends who appreciate something that looks and tastes a cut above, Sweet Cherry Pie delivers on both fronts.
The 8-9 week flowering time keeps things moving at a reasonable pace too. You're not waiting 12+ weeks like some sativa-heavy strains demand. For a home grower running 2-3 cycles a year, that efficiency matters. And with only 3 seeds in the pack, you'll want to treat each one with care — but given the feminised genetics, you should get 3 productive females from the pack.
Running Sweet Cherry Pie in a tent? Pair her with a quality carbon filter — the cherry and fruit terpenes are pungent enough that your neighbours will know what you're up to without one. If you're experimenting with LST for the first time, grab some plant training clips or soft garden wire to guide those branches without snapping them.
