Pedigree

Cherry Pie Redux is a preservation-minded revisit of a modern classic blend, utilizing vintage genetics to recreate a legendary profile with a stunning visual twist. We took our pure, racy, un-hybridized 1970’s Durban Poison equatorial landrace female and crossed it with an incredibly rare Grandaddy Purple male that expressed shocking pink and vivid violet stigmas from the onset of flowering.

This isn't just another "pie" cross; it is a clash of opposite ends of the cannabis spectrum. The electric, ceiling-less solar power of the African sativa meets the profound, majestic sedation of the premier California indica. The result is a structurally stunning plant exhibiting hybrid vigor that captures the best traits of both legends—the complex spice of the Durban melded with the deep fruit hues of the GDP.

Onset

The onset of Cherry Pie Redux is immediate and confusing to the senses in the best way possible. It begins with the rapid-fire cerebral snap of the Durban Poison behind the eyes, quickening thoughts and sharpening vision. However, within 15 to 20 minutes, a warm, heavy blanket of Grandaddy Purple indica influence wraps around the shoulders and limbs, grounding the soaring mental energy into a comfortable, weighted relaxation.

Duration

A solid medium-to-long duration cultivar. Inhalation effects peak swiftly and sustain for 2–3 hours, tapering off into a lingering, relaxed sedation that can last for another 2 hours.

Ceiling

Rating: 7.5/10

Unlike its Durban parent, Cherry Pie Redux has a distinct ceiling defined by the heavy GDP influence. While the initial high is euphoric, continued consumption will not increase cerebral effects but will rapidly lead to heavier physical sedation, couch-lock, and eventual sleep.

Tolerance Threshold/Burnout

Rating: 6/10

This is a delightful daily driver, but tolerance builds moderately fast if smoked exclusively. The "burnout" factor is present due to the heavy indica backend; it is excellent for late afternoons, but heavy midday consumption can lead to grogginess or an evening crash.

Shelf-Life

Rating: 8/10

Cures beautifully. The sharp, volatile anise notes of the fresh flower mellow significantly over 3–6 months of proper storage, allowing the deep, jammy berry and rich grape notes of the GDP to become the dominant profile alongside a sweet earthiness.

Clarity

Rating: 6.5/10

It provides a dreamy, stoned clarity. The Durban offers enough mental spark for creative hobbies, listening to music, or relaxed socializing, but the GDP weight makes it too complex and sedative for demanding technical tasks or high-energy activities.

Effects (Inhalation)

Expect an initial burst of mood-elevating euphoria and giggly energy that is quickly tempered by profound physical relaxation. It is excellent for dissolving muscle tension and stress, providing a "happy medium" high that is comforting and warm.

Effects (Ingestion)

Ingested, the racy Durban traits are largely subdued. The experience becomes deeply sedative, acting as powerful physical medicine for pain and tension, often leading to deep, restorative sleep.

Cannabinoid Profile

THC: 22–27% CBD: <0.1% CBG: 0.8% CBC: 1.5% THCV: 2.6% (Contributing to the initial speedy onset)

Terpenes

Myrcene: 0.8% Beta-Caryophyllene: 0.6% Terpinolene: 0.4% Limonene: 0.4% Linalool: 0.3%

Bouquet

A complex dessert profile that clashes sweet and savory. The nose opens with rich, sweet grape brandy and baked berry pie filling (the GDP), which is immediately cut by the sharp, spicy anise and black licorice tang characteristic of the vintage Durban Poison. Broken buds release a deep, earthy musk with distinct floral undertones.

Flavor

The smoke is thick, luscious, and expansive. The inhale tastes intensely of dark cherry tart and sweet grape candy. The exhale turns savory, spicy, and earthy, leaving a lingering taste of peppercorns, hash, and licorice on the palate.

Growth Characteristics

Cherry Pie Redux exhibits superb hybrid vigor. It grows with a sturdy, thick-stemmed structure thanks to the GDP parentage but retains significant stretch from the Durban (expect 1.5x to 2x stretch in flower). The defining characteristic of this specific line is the stunning floral display: many phenotypes will produce vivid pink and electric purple stigmas against deep green and eventually violet foliage. Buds are dense, chunky, and heavily resinous.

Cultivation Tips:

• Topping early and Often is recommended to create a bushier canopy before the significant stretch phase begins.
• Cooler nighttime temperatures toward the end of bloom are highly recommended to enhance the vibrant purple leaf coloration and make the rare pink pistils pop visually.
• A moderate feeder; it handles nutrients better than pure Durban but watch for nitrogen toxicity late in flower, which can retard bud swelling.

Notes

Cherry Pie Redux is the ultimate crowd-pleaser. It offers the high-impact "bag appeal" of modern exotics with its shocking pink pistils and deep purple hues, but it is backed by the substance of true genetic titans. It manages to balance the electric energy of the 70s with the deep relaxation of West Coast indica culture. A visual and olfactory stunner.
