Grapefruit Cake
Also known as: Grapefruit Cake OG
Grapefruit Cake Strain Overview
Grapefruit Cake is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Grapefruit with Wedding Cake. This strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to combine the uplifting citrus qualities of Grapefruit with the rich, dessert-like characteristics of Wedding Cake. The resulting cultivar has gained popularity among both recreational and medical cannabis users for its well-rounded effects and distinctive flavor profile.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, indica-dominant structure. The flowers exhibit a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues, complemented by a generous coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave throughout the dense foliage, creating an aesthetically pleasing contrast. Grapefruit Cake plants tend to be moderately bushy with strong lateral branching, making them suitable for various cultivation techniques.
Notable features include its pronounced terpene profile that delivers both sweet and citrus aromas, as well as its balanced effects that provide both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. The strain has become particularly popular in the West Coast cannabis markets and has been recognized in several cannabis competitions for its quality and consistency.
