About Wedding Cake Weed
The Wedding Cake strain is especially popular in America. But we expect this strain to become one of the highlights of our collection of private label weed seeds. She is a powerful cross of some well-known weed varieties: Girl Scout Cookies and OG Kush. Cherry Pie is added to create a fantastic taste of sweet fruit, vanilla and slightly sour blackberries.
Although she can reach up to two meters in height outdoors and yield 1500 grams per plant, Wedding Cake is also very well suited for indoor growing. This detailed grow report proves it. With 1 plant on 0.35 square meter you can get 130 grams. On a square meter you can put about 5 plants. You will need a little more light than is used here, but you can increase your profit up to fivefold. About 650 grams per square meter is achievable.
Applied Growing Techniques
In the third and fifth week, the growing Wedding Cake was topped. This means that the growing sprouts were cut off in order to create more branches. A week later, the new growth shoots were guided with binding wire. LST or Low Stress Training is what this is called. These growing techniques are popular with weed growers for a reason. This allows you to fill the growing space with one plant and therefore significantly increase the yield. Furthermore, the plant was defoliated in the seventh week. The seventh week was also the last week of the growth phase. By pruning away the lower leaves you ensure that no energy is lost. This is because leaves on the bottom do not catch light. A ScrOG rack was also created. In the tenth week (first week of flowering) the plant was placed through the net.
In Deep Water Culture, the roots are submerged in the nutrient water. Small bubbles provide the oxygen.
THC Percentage Wedding Cake
When you have a bud analyzed, there are a number of things to consider. There are many differences between analyzing methods. Sometimes you have to calculate the total THC percentage from the measured amount of THCA. THCA is the substance that occurs naturally in weed. When you heat weed or expose it to UV light, that THCA is converted into THC that makes you high. The "A" literally goes up in smoke.
Strength depends on growing conditions
Furthermore, you should know that every grow is unique and the percentages of THC and CBD vary naturally. THC is not in weed seeds, but is created in the resulting weed plant based on external factors. Light, stress, day and night rhythms, water, nutrition, soil... There are many things that determine the final strength. We always try to inform you as much as possible about our products. In the case of Wedding Cake, we measure around 24% THC ourselves. If you would have the weed analyzed, it is normal that the THC percentage is lower or higher than stated in our specifications. Who knows, you might be growing Wedding Cake weed with 26% THC. It's just possible. The fact is: weed seeds are natural products.

Smoke Report - Wedding Cake Effects and Flavour
Sweet, sour and earthy. Those are the words that best describe Wedding Cake. She really does taste like a slice of cake. That's because the combination of terpenes and flavonoids resembles a combination of berries, vanilla and sweet fruit. But it's still weed, so a skunky, earthy undertone brings it all together. Although our Wedding Cake strain contains 80% indica genetics, it's a favourite among sativa lovers. Euphoria, happiness and a dose of energy make this weed great for smoking or vaping during the day. Not an indica for the evening on the couch!
