Cherry Pie Auto Seeds

Genetics & effects

Presented in the Kiwi Seed Bank catalogue, Cherry Pie Auto is a feminised autoflower based on Cherry Pie crossed with an autoflowering hybrid. Its reported lineage is uncertain, so the genetic profile is best viewed as an approximate 50% sativa and 50% indica balance. THC is listed at 18–23%, while CBD may range from negligible levels to 0.5%.

Experiences can vary by person and setting. Some people describe the effects as uplifting, energetic or creatively engaging at first, followed by a more relaxed character. Its aromatic profile may combine ripe cherry and mixed berries with sweet, earthy undertones. Myrcene, caryophyllene and limonene are the main listed terpenes.

Growing in the named country

In New Zealand, this beginner-friendly autoflower may suit indoor spaces as well as sheltered outdoor positions. Its compact life cycle can be useful where summers are short or changeable. It is listed for hot, dry, temperate and cool, short-season climates, although local conditions and individual plant variation will influence development.

Autoflowers begin flowering according to maturity rather than a changing light schedule. Because their vegetative period is brief, a steady start is valuable. Use an airy growing medium, avoid prolonged saturation around the roots, and make environmental changes gradually. Good airflow and sensible spacing can reduce the risk of mould in humid conditions.

Indoor

Indoor plants may reach up to 110 cm. A stable environment, moderate feeding and an uncluttered canopy can help make the available space easier to manage. Gentle low-stress shaping may improve light distribution, but repeated or severe stress can cost valuable development time on a fast autoflower.

• Reported flowering period: approximately 6–8 weeks
• Reported indoor height: up to 110 cm
• Reported indoor yield: up to 450 g/m²

Keep air moving through the canopy and monitor moisture rather than watering to a fixed calendar. The sweet berry aroma may become more noticeable as flowers mature, so odour management may be worth considering in enclosed spaces.

Outdoor

For New Zealand’s southern-hemisphere cycle, spring planting falls between September and November. Select a sunny, sheltered position with free-draining soil and protection from strong wind. Outdoor plants may reach up to 150 cm and are listed with potential yields of up to 600 g per plant under favourable conditions.

In cooler districts, planting after the harshest early-spring weather can support a steadier start. In humid or wet areas, spacing, airflow and rain cover may help reduce the risk of mould around dense flowers. Check plants regularly as autumn approaches and remove damaged material promptly.

Harvest

New Zealand’s broad outdoor harvest window is March–May, although autoflowers started in spring may finish earlier depending on sowing date and conditions. The listed 6–8 weeks refers to flowering time rather than a firm seed-to-harvest schedule. Use visible plant maturity, changing pistil colour and trichome appearance as timing indicators. Height, potency, flavour, timing and yield figures are estimates rather than assured outcomes.
