Marijuana Strain Descriptions
Berry Pie
Cannabis Strain Summary
Terpene Profile- Primary
Beta-Caryophyllene (spicy, peppery notes; interacts with CB2 receptors; contributes calming properties without sedation); Limonene (citrus brightness, tart lemon zest character; mood-enhancing qualities; adds complexity beyond simple berry sweetness)
Terpene Profile- Secondary
Linalool (floral, lavender-like complexity; rounds out citrus with creamy floral undertones; supports relaxation without drowsiness); Myrcene (moderate amounts; earthy, herbal notes; grounds bright flavor profile); Alpha-Pinene (trace amounts; fresh pine character; prevents overly sweet one-dimensional profile)
The Experience- Common Effects
Mental: Enhanced focus and clarity; heightened creativity; increased sociability and conversational engagement; elevated mood with euphoria notes; improved attention maintenance. Physical: Gentle relaxation without sedation; sustained energy with comfortable body presence; mild appetite stimulation (not overwhelming); tension relief in muscles and joints. Character: Functional high; energizing for daytime activities; focused for productive work or creative projects; socially engaging; uplifted groundedness.
The Experience- Duration
Full experience: 2-3 hours when smoked/vaporized. Noticeable effects persist 3-4 hours depending on dosage, metabolism, and consumption method. Comedown described as gentle and gradual rather than abrupt.
The Experience- Onset
Quick onset within 5-10 minutes when smoked/vaporized. Gradual build rather than immediate intensity. Initial lifting sensation behind eyes and subtle mental processing shift. Complete mind-body integration develops over 15-20 minutes. Smooth transition described as gentle but purposeful with manageable come-up.
The Experience- Potential Side Effects
Dry mouth; dry eyes; occasional dizziness (higher doses or lower tolerance); mild anxiety (less common than intense sativas; individual variation; higher dose related)
Strain Type
Sativa-Dominant Hybrid
Not Recommended For
Late-night consumption for immediate sleep; situations requiring absolute mental baseline (driving, operating equipment, critical professional meetings); high-intensity athletic performance; environments where cannabis consumption is prohibited or inappropriate
Lineage and Origins
Created by Cookies x Seed Junky Genetics through crossing Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) and Blueberry. GSC lineage includes F1 Durban and OG Kush; Blueberry traces to Thai and Afghani genetics. Emerged from California's contemporary craft cannabis movement as clone-only genetics before selective seed production.
Cannabanoid Profile
THC: 18-25% typical range; exceptional batches reach up to 28%. CBD: ≤1% (negligible for therapeutic applications). CBG: ~1% (notable for minor cannabinoid; contributes to balanced, clear-headed experience). THC-A: 24-26% in fresh flower before decarboxylation. Potency above market average; better suited for consumers with established tolerance.
Comparable Strains
Girl Scout Cookies/GSC (direct parent; earthy-sweet backbone, balanced hybrid; more indica-dominant with stronger body effects, less fruit); Blueberry (direct parent; classic berry flavor, calming qualities; more indica-forward with heavier relaxation, less cerebral); Blue Dream (similar GSC×Blueberry cross; balanced hybrid with berry notes, daytime functionality; more sativa character, longer-lasting, less creamy sweetness); Blueberry Cookies (closely related GSC×Blueberry; similar flavor; more indica-dominant with heavier body effects, less daytime functionality); Strawberry Cough (fruit-forward sativa-dominant; uplifting, social; strawberry vs. blueberry, more energizing, less body presence); Cherry Pie (GSC lineage dessert strain; fruity, sweet; cherry vs. berry flavor, slightly more sedating/evening-appropriate); Oreoz (similar caryophyllene-dominant terpene profile; balanced hybrid; cookies-and-cream vs. berry flavor, potentially more relaxing)
Thinking about growing your own cannabis?
Cultivation Resilience
Good resistance to mold and mildew compared to high-resin varieties. Adapts well to indoor and outdoor cultivation. Doesn't demand intense light levels (forgiving for home growers, energy-efficient commercially). Requires proper air circulation, temperature management (70-85°F/21-29°C), humidity control (40-60% RH, lower in late flowering).
Cultivation Flowering Time
7-9 weeks (49-63 days) from flowering onset. Eight weeks typical sweet spot for most phenotypes. Relatively quick for sativa-dominant hybrid; attractive to commercial and home cultivators.
Cultivation Yield
Indoor: 2-3 oz per square foot (400-500 g/m²) when properly trained and fed. Outdoor: 10-15 oz per plant (300-450 g) depending on conditions, plant size, and techniques. Outdoor/greenhouse soil-grown plants develop more robust terpene profiles in warm, Mediterranean-like climates.
Cultivation Plant Structure
Medium to tall stature; 60-80 inches outdoors. Sturdy, stalky stems inherited from parent strains; excellent support for dense, resinous buds. Lateral branching responds well to training; suitable for SCROG or SOG methods. Indoor training benefits: topping, LST, defoliation for height management and light penetration.
Cultivation Quality Indicators
Heavy trichome coverage (frosted, crystalline appearance); dense but not overly compressed bud structure; vibrant coloration (lime green base, bright orange pistils, potential purple hues); prominent aroma immediately noticeable; sticky resin leaving finger residue; clean, smooth smoke/vapor with pronounced berry-cream flavor; proper cure indicated by slight spring-back when gently compressed; harvest timing: milky white trichomes with 10-20% amber for balanced effects
