Death Cake
Also known as: Death Cake OG, Death Cake Kush
Death Cake Strain Overview
Death Cake is a potent hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity among experienced users for its intense effects and complex flavor profile. The strain was developed by crossing two well-known varieties: Wedding Cake and Death Star. This genetic combination results in a plant that inherits the sweet, dessert-like qualities of Wedding Cake with the powerful, spacey effects of Death Star. The strain first emerged in the early 2010s and has since become a favorite in certain cannabis communities, particularly in the western United States where it was initially developed.
Death Cake plants typically produce dense, resinous buds that are medium to large in size. The flowers exhibit a striking appearance with deep green coloration often accented by purple hues and vibrant orange pistils. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance that indicates high cannabinoid content. The strain's aroma is complex, blending sweet, creamy notes with earthy undertones and hints of diesel, reflecting its diverse genetic heritage.
While not as widely available as some mainstream commercial strains, Death Cake has maintained a dedicated following due to its balanced effects and unique characteristics. The strain's name references both its potent effects and its dessert-like flavor profile. Growers appreciate Death Cake for its relatively straightforward cultivation requirements and generous resin production, though its exact genetic origins and breeding history remain somewhat obscure in the cannabis community.

Death Cake Strain Growing Information
Death Cake is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to be medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, providing adequate support for heavy buds, and implementing regular pruning to ensure good airflow. Death Cake responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
