Autoflowering seeds
by Azarius
Cherry Pie OG Auto is an autoflowering indica-dominant hybrid that delivers berry-sweet flavour and 21–25% THC in just 8–10 weeks from seed. Bred from Cherry Pie x The Fog x Ruderalis genetics, this Azarius seedshop exclusive packs genuine dessert-counter aroma into a compact, fuss-free plant that thrives indoors and out.
Cherry Pie OG Auto seeds come in four pack sizes: 1, 3, 5, and 10 seeds. If you're running a single test plant in a small tent, the 1-seed pack gets you started without commitment. For a proper canopy fill — say, a 60x60 or 80x80 — grab the 5-pack. The 10-pack is your best value per seed and gives you room for phenotype selection or successive harvests across seasons.

Complete your grow setup with a Dark Box grow tent and a carbon filter kit — Cherry Pie OG Auto's sweet terpene profile gets loud in flower, and your neighbours will notice. A quality LED panel rated for a 60x60 or 80x80 canopy pairs well with this strain's compact structure.
Most autoflowers make you choose: speed or potency. Cherry Pie OG Auto doesn't ask. At 21–25% THC, it sits comfortably in the high-THC bracket — verified Cherry Pie and OG parent lines consistently land between 18–26% THC in tested markets. That's serious weight for a plant that finishes in 8–10 weeks flat, no light schedule changes required.
The indica dominance shows up where it matters. The physical effect is deeply relaxing — the kind that loosens tight shoulders and makes the sofa feel like it was custom-moulded. According to research published in PMC, indica-dominant strains have a reputation among patients for producing more sedative and relaxing effects compared to sativa-leaning varieties (Reimann-Philipp et al., 2020). There's a mental lift in there too — not racy, just enough clarity to keep you present rather than couchbound.
One honest note: at 21–25% THC, Cherry Pie OG Auto is not a gentle introduction. If you're new to high-THC strains, start with a small amount and give it 15–20 minutes before deciding you want more. Common side effects reported across cherry-forward strains include dry mouth and dry eyes — keep water nearby. At higher doses, some users report mild dizziness.
Cherry Pie OG Auto smells like someone left a cherry crumble cooling on a forest floor. The first thing you notice is the berry — ripe, almost jammy, like crushed dark cherries. Underneath that sits an earthy base, loamy and grounding, inherited from the OG lineage. The sweetness ties it together: not candy-sweet, but the warm, baked-sugar kind that lingers on the exhale.
The terpene profile here is genuinely distinctive. We've sold a lot of fruity autoflowers over the years, and most lean heavily on citrus or tropical notes. Cherry Pie OG Auto goes a different direction entirely — it's darker, richer, closer to a Blackberry Auto than a Lemon Haze. If you've grown Wedding Cheesecake Auto and enjoyed the dessert-like quality, Cherry Pie OG Auto occupies similar territory but with more depth on the berry side and less of the creamy cheese funk.
According to research on bioactive metabolites in cultivated cannabis flowers, the terpene and flavonoid content can vary based on flower maturity and growing conditions (Booth & Bohlmann, 2019). Harvesting at the right moment — when trichomes shift from clear to milky with a few amber heads — makes a real difference to the final flavour intensity.
Choosing between autoflowers? Here's how Cherry Pie OG Auto stacks up against two other popular options from our seedshop.
| Feature | Cherry Pie OG Auto | Blackberry Auto | Northern Light Auto |
|---|---|---|---|
| Genetics | Cherry Pie x The Fog x Ruderalis | Blackberry Kush x Ruderalis | Northern Light x Ruderalis |
| THC Range | 21–25% | 18–22% | 14–18% |
| Dominant Type | Indica | Indica | Indica |
| Seed to Harvest | 8–10 weeks | 8–9 weeks | 9–10 weeks |
| Flavour | Berry, earthy, sweet | Berry, sweet, hash | Earthy, pine, sweet |
| Best For | Experienced growers wanting flavour + potency | Berry lovers wanting a mellower ride | First-time growers wanting reliability |
Northern Light Auto is the safer pick if you've never grown before — lower THC, extremely forgiving, and nearly impossible to kill. Cherry Pie OG Auto is the step up: more flavour complexity, higher potency, and still manageable for anyone who's harvested at least one plant before. We'd pick Cherry Pie OG Auto over Blackberry Auto when THC matters — that 21–25% range hits noticeably harder.
We've been selling cannabis seeds from our Amsterdam shop since 1999, and Cherry Pie OG Auto is one of those strains customers come back for specifically. The feedback we hear most often is about the smell during flower — it fills a room even through a carbon filter. If stealth matters to you, invest in decent extraction.
The other thing worth mentioning: this strain drinks more water than you'd expect for an autoflower. The dense indica structure and heavy bud production mean she's thirsty, especially in the final 3 weeks. Underwatering shows up fast as droopy leaves and slowed bud development. Check your medium daily once flowering kicks in.
One limitation we'll be straight about — Cherry Pie OG Auto can be sensitive to high humidity in late flower. Those dense, resinous buds are a magnet for bud rot if airflow isn't solid. Keep a fan moving air across the canopy and don't let humidity creep above 50% after week 6. It's not a deal-breaker, but it's something to watch.
Cherry Pie OG Auto tests between 21–25% THC. Verified Cherry Pie and OG parent lines consistently land in the 18–26% range in tested markets, so this autoflowering version holds its own against photoperiod cuts.
Most users report 2–3 hours, depending on dose and consumption method. The physical relaxation tends to outlast the mental clarity, so expect a gradual wind-down rather than an abrupt end.
Growing it? Yes, if you've done at least one grow before. The autoflowering genetics keep things simple — no light schedule changes needed. Consuming it? Go easy. At 21–25% THC, this is a potent strain. Start small.
Dry mouth and dry eyes are the most commonly reported side effects. At higher doses, some users experience dizziness. Keeping water nearby and pacing your intake handles most of it.
Absolutely. The Ruderalis genetics mean it flowers regardless of light cycle, so it works in any climate with at least 8–10 weeks of frost-free growing. Outdoor plants tend to stay compact — under a metre — making them easy to tuck into a balcony or garden corner.
Berry, earth, and warm sweetness. Think crushed dark cherries over damp soil with a baked-sugar finish. It's darker and richer than most fruity autoflowers — closer to Blackberry Auto than anything citrus-leaning.
Yields are significant for an autoflower, though exact numbers depend on your setup. Indoor growers with good light and training typically pull more than those running a basic windowsill setup. LST and proper feeding make the biggest difference.
