Black Cherry

Lineage: Grape Pie x Trop Cherry (Relentless Cut)

Class: Exotic Dessert Hybrid

Project Name: Violet Vixen

The Hook

A collision of two purple titans. Expect a “bag appeal” champion that washes heavy returns in the hash lab and smells like a bakery run by fruit smugglers.

The Insider Lowdown

We have taken Cannarado’s legendary Grape Pie—known for its sugary, grape-jelly-on-toast terpene profile—and dusted her with the Relentless Trop Cherry stud. The result is pure Violet Vixen. This isn’t just about color; it’s about layering the fermented, doughy sweetness of the Pie with the sharp, acidic tangerine-cherry funk of the Trop. We are seeing phenotypes that fade to black and magenta without a temperature drop. This is a “safe bet” for commercial growers looking for fast finishes and photogenic flowers that dominate the top shelf.

Deep Dive: The Evolution of Purple

Cannarado Genetics changed the game with Grape Pie. Before Grape Pie, “Purple” weed usually meant Granddaddy Purple (GDP) or Purple Urkle—strains that were earthy, musky, and heavy. Cannarado crossed Cherry Pie with the Grape Stomper to isolate a phenotype that truly smelled like grape jelly and pastry dough. It was a leap forward in terpene complexity—sweet, fermented, and creamy.

The Breeding Logic

This cross is a “line breeding” exercise in fruit terpenes. Both parents share a “Cookies” ancestor (Cherry Pie is a parent of GSC; Tropicana Cookies is GSC x Tangie). This means the genetic stability should be higher than a standard F1 poly-hybrid.

• Terpene Synergy: We are layering the deep, fermented grape notes of the mother with the sharp, acidic tangerine/cherry notes of the father. The goal is a profile that smells like a Sangria—complex, fruity, and boozy.
• Visual Dominance: Both parents are genetically prone to high anthocyanin production. We expect nearly 100% of the progeny to show purple or red hues.

Phenotype Hunting Guide

You are looking for a plant that grows with the vigor of the Trop Cherry but the bud structure of the Grape Pie. Look for the “Black Cherry Pastry” pheno—short internodes, rock-hard buds, and a greasy resin rail ideal for solventless extraction.

• Visuals: Deep magenta buds with lime green accents. Trichomes should be “greasy” rather than “sandy”—ideal for fresh frozen hash washing.
• Nose: A complex layering of fermented grapes (Mother) and sharp tangerine/cherry (Father).
• Growth: This strain will likely finish fast (8-9 weeks). It should be resistant to mold due to the open structure of the Trop Cherry influence, but dense enough to weigh heavy.

Caesar’s Take: This is the “commercial killer.” It checks every box for the 2025 dispensary shelf: Purple, Fruity, Frosty, and Photogenic.
