Critical Cake
Critical Cake
Also known as: Critical Cake BX1, Official Critical Cake
Overview
Critical Cake is a modern hybrid strain created by Grandmas Genetics through crossing Wedding Cake (Triangle Mints #23) from Seed Junky with a Critical Kush male from Barney's Farm. This mostly indica strain can be cultivated indoors with a flowering time of approximately 61 days. The strain has several backcrosses and F2 generations, with Critical Cake #7 x Critical Kush being the "Official Critical Cake" phenotype featuring wider internode spacing, spaghetti-shaped pistils, faster flowering, and a distinctive berry vanilla aroma.
Critical Cake is particularly distinguished by its sweet vanilla-cake notes with a soft berry finish. This variety is very strong and can cause users to "never leave the couch again," producing powerful sedative effects. The strain grows relatively flat at the start of flowering but develops hard rock-like nugs by the end of the flowering period. Towards the end of flowering, the plants turn a beautiful purple color that becomes yellowish when properly flushed. During flowering, it gives off a slightly floral and gassy cookie note, while the taste delivers a very solid berry cake aroma on the tongue.

Growing Information
Critical Cake is a mostly indica strain that can be cultivated indoors with a flowering time of approximately 61 days. It is recommended for indoor cultivation with strong lights. The plant shows beautiful growth that is quite fast, including at the roots. As soon as flowering begins, smaller lower branches start to grow quickly with long internode intervals. Critical Cake grows not slow but also not very fast, remaining pretty flat at the start of flowering. However, it develops hard rock nugs by the end of the flowering period. The strain was never available as feminized seeds from Grandmas Genetics. Intermediate to advanced growing experience recommended due to the strain's specific light and environmental requirements.
