Ride or Pie (Flo Rida Og Kush x Cherry Pie) crosses Florida OG to Cherry Pie, also known as Crippy or Ocean Grown, and named by several sources as the original OG Kush against Granddaddy Purple crossed to Durban Poison, roughly sixty-forty indica. Neither is a filler parent, which is why this pairing is worth a pack rather than a look. Both parents here are cuts CSI keep in their own room. That is the whole difference between this and a seed line named after the same strains.

Order matters in a cross name. In Ride or Pie (Flo Rida Og Kush x Cherry Pie) the Florida OG side supplied the seed and Cherry Pie the pollen, and the reciprocal - the same two plants the other way round - is a separate breeding decision with its own results.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: Florida OG. Also known as Crippy or Ocean Grown, and named by several sources as the original OG Kush. It traces back to Chemdog crossed to Lemon Thai and Hindu Kush, roughly seventy-thirty indica, out of Florida in the 1990s.
• Father: Cherry Pie. Granddaddy Purple crossed to Durban Poison, roughly sixty-forty indica. Parentage: Granddaddy Purple x Durban Poison. Considered easy to grow.
• What to expect across a pack. Two distinct parents means real variation in frame, finish and nose. Select early and take cuttings off anything you would want again.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Expect the profile to move plant to plant rather than settle.

• The Aroma. Tropical fruit, earth, pine and citrus, pungent from the Florida OG side, against dark stone fruit and berry over earth from the Cherry Pie side.
• The Taste. Earthy and citrusy with OG weight up front, turning to cherry and berry with an earthy finish through the exhale.

Where the parents disagree

• Two different harvest dates. Fifty-six to sixty-three days indoors, reported elsewhere at eight to nine weeks for Florida OG, eight to nine weeks for Cherry Pie. Judge each plant on trichomes rather than pulling the room together.
• Where the nose comes from. One side gives tropical fruit, earth, pine and citrus, pungent; the other gives dark stone fruit and berry over earth. Plants landing in the middle are the keepers.
• Structure varies hard here. Short to medium, bushy, sturdy branches, tight internodes; large dense resin-soaked colas with little leaf; low to moderate stretch and manageable in small spaces from one parent; short and bushy at eighty to a hundred and twenty centimetres with wide lateral branching that suits low-stress training from the other. Plan the canopy for the taller outcome.
• Opposite ends. Florida OG is reported as focused and potent; indica-leaning; Cherry Pie as settling. The cross sits somewhere between and moves plant to plant.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. Florida OG is short to medium, bushy, sturdy branches, tight internodes; large dense resin-soaked colas with little leaf; low to moderate stretch and manageable in small spaces. Cherry Pie is short and bushy, eighty to a hundred and twenty centimetres, branching wide enough sideways to suit low-stress training.
• Vegetative Phase and Training. Open the middle out early. Light reaching the lower sites is worth more than any late correction.
• Flowering Time. The parents are not on the same clock. Florida OG runs fifty-six to sixty-three days indoors, reported elsewhere at eight to nine weeks, Cherry Pie eight to nine weeks. Judge each plant on trichomes rather than pulling the room together.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Florida OG as focused and potent; indica-leaning.
• The Body. Cherry Pie is reported as settling, and that is the side supplying the weight here.
