How to grow Persian Pie
Taste
Seb's take
Lemon Tree and Banana Krumble meet in Persian Pie, a hybrid with rather more strength than its dessert name lets on. Sweet, fruity, and faintly chemical on the nose; the 27% THC hits fast before settling into a calm, controlled rhythm, head clear and body relaxed. Vigorous growth, and best given the room to match.
Where it comes from
Green House Seeds pair Lemon Tree with Banana Krumble here, two sweet, fruit-forward parents whose names rather undersell what follows. The dessert billing suggests something gentle; the 27 percent THC suggests otherwise. It is a 60 percent indica hybrid built for presence in the garden, strong-framed, vigorous, and unmistakably the work of breeders who prize structure as much as flavour. Lemon Tree brings the citrus lift, Banana Krumble the sweetness, and between them they produce a plant with rather more backbone than its pudding of a name lets on.
Nose & flavour
The nose is sweet and fruity up front, with a faintly chemical edge underneath that keeps it from turning cloying, Lemon Tree's citrus sharpness cutting through the softer banana notes. It is a fuller aroma than the dessert name implies, layered rather than one-dimensional. Pleasant, but with a bite; not a strain that hides what it is behind the sugar.
The high
The 27 percent THC arrives quickly, then settles into a calm, controlled rhythm rather than a runaway one. The indica half shapes a relaxed body feel while the sativa keeps the head clear and lifted, so the effect is composed rather than heavy, uplifting first, calming after. Strong, plainly, but well-mannered with it. A strain that makes its point and then lets you get on with the evening.
Growing it
The record notes real vigour here, and the height bears it out, anywhere from roughly 120 to 180cm, so give her the headroom. Flowering runs 56 to 63 days. The yield figures are eye-catching, quoted per plant rather than per square metre and ranging from around 1,000 to nearly 3,000 grams under the right conditions, which speaks to a plant that rewards space and patience in equal measure. Strong frames support heavy flower without complaint. House her properly and she returns the investment generously.
