Cherry Pie Auto Seeds

Genetics & effects

Cherry Pie Auto is a feminised autoflowering cultivar presented in the Outback Seed Bank catalogue. Its reported genetics combine Cherry Pie with an autoflowering hybrid, although the finer details of the lineage remain uncertain. The profile is described as a balanced 50% sativa and 50% indica mix, offering a versatile character rather than leaning strongly in either direction.

Reported THC content sits around 18–23%, while CBD is listed at 0–0.5%. Individual experiences can vary. Some people describe the effects as uplifting, energetic or creatively engaging at first, followed by a more relaxing and settled feeling. Aroma and flavour notes may include sweet cherry, ripe berries and an earthy finish. Myrcene, caryophyllene and limonene are the main reported terpenes, contributing fruit, spice and citrus nuances.

Growing in Australia

Cherry Pie Auto may appeal to newer growers because its autoflowering cycle removes the need to change light hours to initiate bloom. Its compact size can also suit balconies, courtyards and smaller garden spaces. As with any seed-grown plant, height, timing, colour, aroma and productivity depend on the individual phenotype and growing conditions.

For Australian outdoor cultivation, spring planting generally falls between September and November. Choose a bright position with good airflow and free-draining soil. Hot, dry and temperate areas can offer favourable conditions, while the rapid cycle may also be useful in cool regions with short summers. In humid weather, keep foliage open and avoid persistently wet growing media to reduce the risk of mould.

Indoor

Indoors, plants are reported to reach up to 110 cm. A stable light schedule throughout the cycle keeps management straightforward; many growers use 18–20 hours of daily light for autoflowering plants. Gentle canopy shaping can improve light distribution, but heavy or repeated stress may slow a plant with a fixed life cycle.

• Use an airy, well-draining growing medium.
• Allow the root zone to dry moderately between watering.
• Maintain steady airflow around and beneath the canopy.
• Reported indoor yields reach up to 450 g/m² under favourable conditions.

Outdoor

Outdoor plants may reach up to 150 cm where sunlight, root space and weather are supportive. Shelter from prolonged rain and strong wind can help preserve flower quality. Its cherry and berry profile may become a favourite for growers who enjoy sweet cultivars with an earthy base. Reported outdoor yields reach up to 600 g per plant, though actual results can vary considerably.

Harvest

The listed flowering period is approximately 6–8 weeks, but the full seed-to-harvest cycle may be longer. Spring-started autoflowers can finish during summer, depending on sowing time and conditions. Australia’s broader seasonal harvest window is March to May, particularly for later plantings and longer-running outdoor crops. Check flower maturity directly rather than relying only on the calendar, and provide a clean, dark, well-ventilated space for post-harvest drying.
