Gasmask by NW Roots
When Pacific NW Roots teamed up with Exotic Genetix to drop Gasmask, they weren't messing around with polite, fruity terps. They wanted violence in a jar. The genetic math here is crazy: they took a pristine, high-yielding designer cut of Cherry Pie and hit it with an Alien Kush F2, then backcrossed that into a Cherry Pie x Starfighter line. The result is an absolute monster of a plant that was only ever released as regular seeds, making it a pure pheno-hunter's dream. Real growers know that feminized seeds have their place, but the absolute heaviest hitters often come from popping regs, and Gasmask is the poster child for that philosophy.
In the garden, this strain is an absolute workhorse, usually finishing in about 60 days. It thrives indoors or outdoors, but where it really shines is in the bag appeal. If you drop the temps late in flower, Gasmask phenos will throw some of the most ridiculous deep purples and magentas you've ever seen, completely caked in a thick, wet layer of trichomes. Yields are solid, but it's the resin structure that makes hash makers lose their minds. A lot of breeders have used it as a heavy-hitting backbone—just look at what Taylormade did with M-1 Gas Mask, or crosses like FAK Mask and Hash Mask. It passes down that robust structure and insane resin production every single time.
But let's talk about the smoke, because that's why we're here. You hear "Cherry Pie" in the lineage and think it's going to be sweet. It's not. The nose on Gasmask is purely offensive. It's a lung-expanding combination of raw petroleum, skunk, and a weird, funky, overripe Granddaddy Purple (GDP) musk lurking underneath. Lighting up a joint in public will turn heads from a block away. The high is absolutely devastating. It's not a daytime functional smoke; it’s a heavy, narcotic blanket that shuts off the brain and glues you to whatever piece of furniture you happen to be sitting on.

Growing Gasmask: what to expect
As an indica-leaning plant, expect a modest stretch after the flip (roughly 50–100%) and dense bud structure — which makes late-flower humidity discipline the main risk: keep RH in the 40s once buds fatten to stay ahead of mold. Growers familiar with Cherry Pie or Cherry Alien will recognize much of its behavior. Whatever the listing says, the cut in YOUR tent is the ground truth: log feedings, readings, and photos, and let the trends — not the label — drive decisions.

How long does Gasmask take to flower?
Gasmask typically flowers in around 60 days after switching to a 12/12 light schedule. Individual phenotypes vary, so judge harvest readiness by trichome color, not the calendar.
Is Gasmask an indica or a sativa?
Gasmask is listed as mostly indica.
What are the parents of Gasmask?
Gasmask was bred from Cherry Pie × Cherry Alien by NW Roots.
What environment does Gasmask like?
Standard cannabis bands work well: VPD 0.8–1.1 kPa in veg and 1.0–1.4 kPa in flower, with humidity stepping down from 65–75% as a seedling to 40–50% in late flower. See the stage-by-stage table on this page.
