THC Content: Wedding Cake is renowned for its high THC content, which averages around 25% to 27%.
Genetic Makeup: It has a genetic composition of approximately 60% indica and 40% sativa.
Effects: Wedding Cake delivers a relaxing and euphoric high. However, its potent psychoactive effects make it advisable for experienced users.
Medical Uses: Due to its high THC levels, Wedding Cake is often used to manage chronic pain, insomnia, and loss of appetite.
Flavor Profile: Wedding Cake is celebrated for its complex flavor profile, which includes sweet, peppery, vanilla, earthy, and lemony notes.
Growing Information: Wedding Cake can be grown both indoors and outdoors. It thrives in a warm, sunny climate and requires proper humidity control to prevent mold growth on its dense buds.

Growing Info
Wedding Cake is a strain that is relatively easy to cultivate and thrives particularly well indoors using a “sea of green” (SoG) setup. This method involves selecting a robust mother plant, taking cuttings, and planting the clones. Indoor growers can expect yields between 18 and 21 ounces per square meter.
While Wedding Cake can be grown outdoors, it prefers a warm, sunny, and slightly humid climate, similar to tropical or subtropical regions. This climate ensures optimal growth and yield for outdoor cultivation.
Height: Wedding Cake typically reaches a height of 2.5 to 5 feet, or 30 to 60 inches.
Humidity and Temperature: During the vegetative stage, Wedding Cake thrives with a humidity level around 50%. It has a higher humidity tolerance compared to other strains. Gradually reduce humidity to 40%, 35%, and 30% during the final two weeks of the flowering stage.
The ideal temperature range for Wedding Cake is between 70 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit (21 to 26 degrees Celsius) during the day, and slightly cooler at 55 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit (13 to 18 degrees Celsius) at night.
Flowering: Wedding Cake flowers for about seven to nine weeks. In the Northern Hemisphere, expect to harvest around late September to mid-October. In the Southern Hemisphere, harvest time is typically from late February to mid-March.
Feeding
- All Cannabis strains, require a full spectrum nutrient complete with the macro nutrients such as Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium and the secondary nutrients and micronutrients like, calcium, sulphur, hydrogen, magnesium, manganese, carbon, iron, zinc etc.
- For coco/perlite grows, we recommend Nutrifield Coco A&B for use throughout the entire grow, with Nutrifield Organic BUD BURST at the beginning of the flowering phase right through to harvest. As bud burst is organic, this ensures a nice smooth, super clean tasting smoke that you will love!
- For soil based growing (not recommended), just make sure you use a high quality soil rich in organic matter such as compost and manure. Note that manure if high in nitrogen which you’ll want to reduce during the flowering stage.
- During the flowering stage, change the ratio so you are using up to three times more phosphorus than nitrogen and potassium. Also continue to add in secondary nutrients such as iron, copper, and manganese. The best way to do this is simply to use orgnanic Bud Burst during flowering all the way as this will ensure a smooth finish with no chemical taste. Amazing stuff!
- For organic grows, we recommend Aptus Baseboost organic nutrient with coco/perlite 70/30 ratio. This stuff is highly concentrated so a little goes a long way making it great value. Simply add the pellets to the coco as per the instructions and it will completely transform any inert growing medium into a powerful full spectrum grow media..
Growing Tips
- Your plants will need consistent air flow and good ventilation, whether you are choosing the perfect spot for an outdoor grow, or are growing in an indoor grow room. They need air that is rich in oxygen, to help prevent respiration, deter any pests, and allow your plant to grow healthy and strong. Use fans to help circulate air, or if you can afford it, exhaust systems are an excellent choice.
Why buy ‘Feminized’ Seeds
- Marijuana plants are either male or female. The male flower produces sacs or pollen designed to fertilize the female flower which produces white pistols designed to absorb the pollen. If no male plants are present in the growing area, than the female plant will just grow larger and larger flowers in search of pollen. These flowers are the cannabis buds that we all know and love. The male plants hold only minuscule amount of THC, while the female flowers are oozing with THC crystals (the good stuff). For this reason, marijuana growers are seeking only female plants in the grow room (unless they want alot of seedy buds).Feminsed seeds have been cultivated in a precise way so that the seed is genetically more likely to produce a female plant. Autoflower seeds automatically transition from the vegetative phase to the flowering stage without you needing to adjust their light exposure.
