Cherry Pie Cannabis Clones
Cherry Pie clones trace back to bagseed from Cherry Pie Kush (Durban Poison x Chemdog x Paki Chitral Kush) by George near Laytonville. Berner and Cookies popularized the cut after finding seeds in George’s CPK. The name change, sparked by Berner munching Girl Scout Cookies while sampling, fueled a lineage debate that eventually gave birth to the Cookies brand.
The Story Behind Cherry Pie
George, a NorCal breeder, worked a cross of Durban Poison, Chemdog, and Pakistani Chitral Kush that he called Cherry Pie Kush (CPK). When Berner got pounds of it, some seeds appeared. Out of those seeds came a plant that smelled and tasted like baked cherry pastries with doughy kush undertones. Although George preferred it not be branded as CPK, Berner and friends coined the “Girl Scout Cookies” name — a decision that forever blurred where Cherry Pie ends and Cookies begins.
