Frost Cake
Frost Cake Strain Overview
Frost Cake is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Wedding Cake with an undisclosed, frosty indica-dominant parent, often speculated to be Ice Cream Cake or a similar cultivar. The strain emerged in the late 2010s from the competitive California breeding scene, where breeders sought to enhance the dessert-like qualities and potency of Wedding Cake. It gained popularity for its exceptionally resinous buds and balanced effects, appealing to both recreational and medicinal users. The name 'Frost Cake' directly references its dense trichome coverage and sweet, cakey aroma.
Visually, Frost Cake is characterized by its striking appearance: buds are typically dense and chunky, with deep purple and dark green hues accentuated by vibrant orange pistils. A thick layer of milky-white trichomes gives the buds a frosted, sugary look, contributing to its name. The strain's leaves often exhibit purple and blue tones, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. Notable features include its high resin production, making it a favorite for extractors, and its robust, complex terpene profile that blends sweet, creamy, and earthy notes.
Frost Cake is considered a well-balanced hybrid, though it often leans slightly indica-dominant in its effects. It is prized for its potent yet manageable high, which typically begins with cerebral euphoria before settling into full-body relaxation. The strain's genetics contribute to its resilience and adaptability in various growing conditions, though it requires careful attention to nutrient levels and climate control to maximize its terpene expression and yield. As with many modern hybrids, precise lineage details can vary between breeders, but Frost Cake consistently maintains a reputation for quality and potency within cannabis communities.

Frost Cake Strain Growing Information
Frost Cake is considered moderately difficult to cultivate, suitable for intermediate growers. It has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors and is ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. Indoor yields are typically high, around 450-550 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment or a warm, Mediterranean-like outdoor climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to be medium in height, often staying under 5 feet indoors but potentially reaching 6-7 feet outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining low humidity during flowering to prevent mold due to its dense buds, implementing training techniques like topping or LST to manage canopy height, and providing adequate phosphorus and potassium during bloom to enhance trichome production. Growers should monitor for common pests like spider mites.
