Mary Cotton –
Holy shit! It smells like a cherry pie and burnt wood, and her effects are extremely potent that she could really knock me out to bed easily. I actually gave this strain the total care in order to perfectly grow her, and as she grows, I see that it has different phenotypes and randomly potent when it becomes fully yield. On top of that, I love this strain the way it grows with very aromatic leaves and its shiny trichomes.

Cherry Pie is a potent strain that makes me remain on my sofa for an extended time while still offering intense relief. This weed has a good aroma, with a soft, cheery flavor and an earthy aftertaste. I grew this indoors, and it develops to an average size with big, thick buds that are purple with green in color and have a sweet cherry fragrance. Because of the LST, this plant awards me with massive yields.
