Wedding Cake

Wedding Cake: A Sweet Slice of Relaxation and Euphoria

Wedding Cake flowers live up to their name by offering one of the most delightful aromas and flavor blends. The dessert-like and vanilla-rich experience is incomplete without deeply soothing cerebral and physical effects. With Girl Scout Cookies and Cherry Pie genetics, this strain yields generously with the right growing experience.

Cerebral Rush

Wedding cake is synonymous with its initial euphoric sensation, akin to a baby’s sugar rush. It makes you feel good as you forget your daily worries, which is handy for someone dealing with stress and depression.

Profound Relaxation

After some time in your session, a relaxing body buzz sets in. You will start to feel any physical tension, cramping, or pain taper off. As you get comfortable, the buzz gets in your head to forge a focused vibe.

Smooth Comedown

The wedding cake experience winds smoothly with a gentle urge to lie down. Those with high tolerances often report a lingering calm. On the other hand, rookie stoners may experience some couch-lock that is not entirely sedating.

Growing Characteristics

It takes some experience to get the best results from Wedding Cake cannabis seeds. With moderate resilience, beginners may attempt to grow them. Seasoned growers enjoy the highest yields. The seeds show useful adaptability and can be grown indoors or outdoors.

Plant Size & Structure

Wedding Cake is a perfect candidate for growers with limited space compared to other strains. Its plants range between 70 and 120 cm in height when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are generally taller than indoors, with a height range of 120-150 cm.

Flowering Time

With a successful vegetative stage, Wedding Cake typically finishes blooming in 55-65 days. A good outdoor climate ensures a timely harvest starting the second week of September and extending to the third week of October in the North.

Yield Potential

Wedding Cake plants yield a generous 450-700 grams per square meter. The bigger outdoor plants certainly have more bud sites and yield more. With the right setup, growers can expect to harvest an average of 500 grams per plant and a maximum of 1500 grams.

Best Growing Conditions for Wedding Cake

While this strain shows general adaptability and resilience, mastering its optimum growing conditions ensures a better yield.

Optimizing Humidity

The indica dominant genetics grow into a dense canopy and tightly packed buds that could easily fall to mold in cases of high humidity. So, how do you keep the moisture in check?

The seedlings need higher humidity since the delicate roots can’t absorb enough water immediately after germination. Use domes or humidity tents to maintain a steady range of 60–70%. In addition, use the misting method to avoid direct water jets on the delicate roots and high moisture in the grow room.

After the roots develop into the vegetative stage, lower the humidity to about 50% to reduce the risk of fungal infections. Proper ventilation and air circulation at this stage help get rid of stale air. As the pre-flower season beckons, lower the humidity to around 40% to prevent bud rot and mold.

High Intensity Lighting

Wedding cake thrives under high light intensity to support photosynthesis of its dense canopy. It is important to optimize the lighting to prevent heat stress.

1. Use full-spectrum lights for a well-balanced spectrum intensity through all growth stages.
2. Lights with dimming capabilities help with gradually increasing the intensity as the plant matures.
3. Optimize the photoperiod traits for faster flowering transition. Switching from a standard 18/6 during the pre-flower to 12 hours of uninterrupted darkness and 12 hours of light. 
4. Install auto-timers for light switching to prevent inconsistencies and seal the grow room for light leaks.
5. Maintaining a light-to-canopy distance of about 30 cm for LEDs and 40 cm for HID lights prevents heat stress. This distance is inversely proportional to the light intensity and heat production.
6. Use low stress training methods to maintain an even canopy for maximum light penetration. Also, prune the plants regularly for even better light distribution You can use reflective material for lower bud sites and root zone light distribution.

Temperature

It is important to consider temperature, as it is intertwined with humidity levels and lighting. High temperatures increase the rate of moisture evaporation, and the opposite is true. On the other hand, lighting can offset the temperature balance.

During the day, maintain a temperature range of 70-80°F (21-27°C). At night, it is recommended that temperatures be dropped to about 65-75°F (18-24°C) to mimic natural habitat conditions.

Origin and History

There is a general consensus that Wedding Cake came from two flavor-rich parents. Clearly, the breeding intention was to produce the best-tasting bud. You can also tell that it was named after its sweet vanilla-like aroma and extremely frosty appearance.

There are different accounts of the original breeder and strains involved in breeding wedding cake, AKA Pink Cookies. Some cannabis enthusiasts credit a merger between Animal Mints and Triangle Kush. The second account of our version comes from Seed Junky Genetics and blends Girl Scout Cookies with Cherry Pie.
