STRNG Seeds – Cherry Pie Auto

Cherry Pie Auto captures the sweet, fruity richness of the original photoperiod strain in a fast, compact autoflowering format. It’s a go-to for growers seeking flavor, speed, and vibrant buds without sacrificing quality.

The aroma is sweet and warm, with notes of ripe cherry, baked dough, and a faint herbal spice. As it ripens, the scent becomes deeper and more dessert-like, filling the room with a pie-fresh vibe.

Look for mostly cloudy trichomes with some turning amber, and watch for pistils darkening and curling inward. The aroma will peak and become sweeter and more complex near harvest.

It typically reaches 70–100 cm in height, making it a great choice for small grow tents, balconies, or discreet outdoor spaces. It remains compact but produces dense, showy colas.

This autoflower finishes in about 9 to 10 weeks from germination. It begins flowering automatically around week 3 or 4, regardless of light schedule.

Indoors, expect yields around 400–500g/m² with good lighting. Outdoors, plants can produce 50–100g each depending on container size, sunlight, and overall care.

Yes, it’s easy to manage and resilient to common mistakes. Its compact size and straightforward lifecycle make it especially approachable for first-time growers.

Buds are chunky, frosty, and tightly packed. They often display deep green and purple hues beneath a layer of white trichomes, with bright orange pistils for contrast.

Yes, flush with clean, pH-balanced water for 10–14 days before harvest to improve flavor, aroma, and burn quality. You’ll notice the fan leaves begin to yellow naturally.

Yes, it adapts well to hydroponics. Expect faster growth and larger yields in dialed-in DWC or coco setups, provided you closely manage pH and nutrient levels.

Autoflowering strains begin to flower automatically based on age—not light cycle. This means Cherry Pie Auto transitions into bloom on its own after about 3–4 weeks.

An 18/6 light schedule from seed to harvest is ideal. Some growers use 20/4 for slightly more vigorous growth if conditions are well-controlled.

Yes, gentle low-stress training (LST) during early veg can increase airflow and light penetration. Avoid aggressive topping unless done very early, as recovery time is limited.

It’s best to sow Cherry Pie Auto directly in its final container to avoid transplant shock. A 3–5 gallon fabric pot works well for indoor setups.

Yes, it thrives outdoors in sunny climates and can be tucked discreetly into gardens or patios. Its quick cycle lets it finish before the weather turns in many regions.

Use a light, well-aerated soil rich in organic matter. Adding perlite or coco coir improves drainage and oxygen to the roots, which autos especially appreciate.

Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, especially early on, as this can stunt growth. Light, consistent hydration is best throughout the cycle.

Start with mild vegetative nutrients, then shift to a bloom formula high in phosphorus and potassium around week 4. Avoid overfeeding—less is often more with autos.

Yes, it responds very well to organic feeding methods. Using compost teas, microbial inoculants, and slow-release dry amendments can enhance flavor and smoothness.

Keep temps between 22–27°C with relative humidity around 55% in veg. Drop humidity to 40–45% in flower to protect dense buds and increase trichome production.
