Key specifications

Genetics and origin

American Pie brings together two of the most famous genetics in cannabis history: Power Plant — the South African sativa legend known for explosive yields and an energetic effect — and White Widow — the 1995 Cannabis Cup winner with legendary resin production. The result: a 60% sativa-dominant hybrid that combines the best of both worlds. The name is a playful nod to American pop culture; the strain itself is a Pyramid Seeds cross.

American Pie strain: effects

The American Pie effect is energetic and cerebral in nature — typical of a sativa-dominant hybrid:

• Energetic, clear head effect — the Power Plant heritage: focus, creativity, an active mood
• Psychedelic note — an intense, vivid mental experience
• Physical relaxation — the White Widow heritage: gentle body relaxation without couch-lock
• Ideal for the day — active, functional, sociable

Aroma and terpene profile

The aroma profile of American Pie is complex and layered — an interplay of both parent lines: a woody base from Power Plant, a creamy sweetness from White Widow, with spicy and incense notes in the background.

Growing — indoor and outdoor

Indoor growing

Flowering time 60–65 days (LED: 53–58 days). Yield: 500 g/m² standard, up to 800–850 g/1.5 m² with a 720 W LED. Adapts well to all growing systems — SOG, SCROG, vertical structures. Despite the sativa dominance, the plant stays compact with long, crystal-covered flowers.

Outdoor growing

Harvest in late September in the northern hemisphere. 0.5–1 kg per plant — especially productive outdoors thanks to the Power Plant genetics. Robust and adaptable to a range of climates.
