Myrcene (0.5-1.2%): earthy, musky; provides foundation for deep body relaxation, tropical mango/berry notes, sedative qualities, may enhance cannabinoid absorption; Limonene (0.3-0.8%): bright citrus; delivers tangerine and grapefruit zest from Tangie parent, mood elevation, stress relief, mental clarity; Beta-Caryophyllene: spicy, peppery; adds earthy woody dimension, interacts with CB2 receptors, grounding effect on sweeter flavors.

Linalool: delicate floral lavender notes, additional sedative properties; Humulene: earthy, woody, hoppy notes, potential appetite suppression; Terpinolene: fresh herbal, slightly floral, pine characteristics. Total terpene content typically 1.5-3.0% by weight in well-cultivated batches; exceptional lots exceed 3%. Note: exact percentages vary significantly by cultivator, growing conditions, harvest timing, and curing methods. Customers should request lab results for specific batches.

Mental: uplifted, euphoric, happy, creative, mentally relaxed without excessive fog; clarity maintained for conversation, music appreciation, passive entertainment; complex cognitive tasks more challenging. Physical: deep body relaxation, muscle tension relief, heaviness in limbs, couch-lock in higher doses, tingling/buzzing sensations throughout body, eventual sleepiness. Appetite stimulation ranging from moderate to intense in some consumers.

2-3 hours via inhalation (peak 30-60 minutes post-consumption). Mental effects fade more quickly than physical; initial euphoria gives way to sedative state as indica properties dominate. Gentle comedown; many transition into restful sleep as effects subside. Edible preparations: 4-6+ hours with 45-90 minute delayed onset.

Initial wave of euphoria within minutes; mental shift behind the eyes spreading through head; cerebral lift brings mood elevation, mental clarity, contentment. Tangie influence provides brightness and positivity. After 10-20 minutes, body effects intensify; warm buzzing sensation starts in shoulders/neck, cascades downward through limbs and torso; progressive physical relaxation; heavy weighted feeling encouraging horizontal positioning; deep muscle relaxation; couch-lock sensation; helplessly sedated with moderate buzzing. Body high becomes dominant feature; feels like swimming through honey.

Dry mouth (cottonmouth); dry eyes; potential anxiety or paranoia in high doses or sensitive users; dizziness; couch-lock/sedation; increased appetite (munchies); possible short-term memory impairment. High THC content makes adverse effects more pronounced; experienced users better equipped to manage. Beginners may find full-body sensations overwhelming. Stay hydrated; have eye drops available; start with low doses; adjust based on response.

Indica-Dominant Hybrid

Daytime use (unless no obligations); situations requiring sustained physical activity; complex social navigation or parties; activities requiring alertness, focus, or coordination; operating vehicles or machinery; important work tasks or meetings; situations where you cannot fully relax; early morning or mid-day when productivity needed; first-time cannabis users (high potency may be overwhelming); users with anxiety disorders (high THC may exacerbate in some).

Cross of Cherry Pie × Tangie. Created by Chameleon Extracts (Santa Clara, CA) around 2016. Cherry Pie (Durban Poison × Granddaddy Purple) contributes indica dominance and sweet cherry notes; Tangie (California Orange × Skunk) adds citrus aromatics and mental lift. Some sources reference Dutchgrown Seeds involvement. Original phenotype selected from ~37 candidates for distinctive purple coloration and exceptional terpene expression.

THC: typically 20-26%; exceptional batches occasionally above 26%; some versions 15-19% range. CBD: minimal, typically below 1%, often below 0.5%. Minor cannabinoids (CBG, CBC): combined 0.1-1.0% depending on harvest maturity. High THC potency makes this strain for experienced consumers; effects can be overwhelming for novice users or low tolerance. Efficient choice for regular consumers as less material needed versus lower-THC strains. Some breeders have developed CBD-rich or balanced (1:1) versions, though less common.

Cherry Pie (parent): sweet cherry flavor, indica-dominant relaxation; more balanced 50/50 hybrid without tropical citrus, typically less sedating; Tangie (parent): bright citrus terpenes, initial euphoric lift; sativa-dominant with energizing effects, lacks heavy body sedation and purple appearance; Gelato: similar indica-leaning hybrid, sweet dessert flavors, purple coloration, balanced effects; more creamy dessert-like flavor, generally more mentally stimulating; Granddaddy Purple: grandparent through Cherry Pie, deep purple coloration, heavy body effects; more grape/berry flavor, typically more sedating with less mental stimulation; Zkittlez: similar tropical-fruity terpenes, candy-like sweetness, indica relaxation; more berry-forward, generally smoother with less pronounced citrus.

Good resistance to common pests and mold; suitable for outdoor cultivation in appropriate climates. Prefers Mediterranean-like conditions: 68-80°F (20-27°C), moderate humidity decreasing as flowering progresses. Forgiving genetics; doesn't require aggressive feeding (excessive nutrients can stunt growth). Responds better to moderate nutrient regimens. Accessible for various skill levels though environmental stability important.

Indoor: 8-10 weeks (56-70 days) from 12/12 flip. Outdoor northern hemisphere: early to mid-October harvest. Outdoor southern hemisphere: early April harvest. Flexibility in harvest timing: earlier preserves uplifting terpenes/effects; later enhances sedative properties and purple coloration.

Indoor: 450-500 grams per square meter (17.5-21 ounces per square yard) with techniques like ScrOG. Outdoor: 500-700 grams per plant (24.5-31.5 ounces per plant) under optimal conditions. Efficient use of space; multiple plants in smaller areas increase yields exponentially.

Typical indica structure: compact, bushy growth; moderate height 3-4 feet indoors, 6-10 feet outdoors under optimal conditions. Tight internodal spacing during vegetative growth; considerable stretch during early flowering (often doubles height). Branching moderate but well-developed producing numerous flowering sites; benefits from training techniques. Dense, rock-hard bud formation.

Premium flower displays: dense rock-hard buds with prominent deep purple coloration throughout (not just sugar leaves); thick layer of milky white trichomes creating frosty crystalline appearance; bright orange pistils weaving through darker foliage in healthy abundance. Aroma: immediately fruity and sweet, strong cherry and tropical notes complemented by earthy pine. Texture: sticky and slightly springy when gently squeezed (neither crumbly-dry nor wet). Properly cured releases complex smell evolving as buds broken apart, deeper fruit and earth layers.
