Citrus Cake
Citrus Cake
Overview
Citrus Cake is a slightly indica-dominant hybrid strain (55% indica/45% sativa) created through crossing Wedding Cake with Lemon Lime Orange Apricot strains. This modern cultivar emerged during the late 2010s wave of dessert-themed cannabis genetics, representing a sophisticated blend of citrus-forward aromatics with creamy cake-like sweetness. The strain's development reflects the contemporary cannabis market's focus on complex terpene profiles and high potency, combining the robust genetics of Wedding Cake with bright citrus characteristics. Citrus Cake produces dense, grape-shaped bright neon green buds with dark leaves, abundant thin orange hairs, and a heavy coating of chunky white trichomes. The strain's visual appeal is enhanced by its crystalline trichome coverage, giving the buds a frosty, sugar-dusted appearance reminiscent of its dessert namesake. The cultivar has gained popularity among both recreational and medical users for its exceptional flavor profile and potent effects, representing the evolution of modern cannabis breeding focused on sensory experience and therapeutic potential.

Growing Information
Citrus Cake cultivation information is limited due to its boutique nature and distribution primarily as clone-only cuts. The strain appears to favor controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be precisely managed. Growers report the strain produces dense, resinous buds with above-average trichome production. The cultivar benefits from proper training techniques to support heavy colas and requires adequate lighting to develop its characteristic terpene profile. Flowering time is estimated at 8-10 weeks indoors. The strain's high resin production makes it suitable for extraction purposes, and careful trimming is recommended to showcase the crystalline trichome coverage while preserving the delicate terpene profile.
