Humboldt Pound Cake
Humboldt Pound Cake Strain Overview
Humboldt Pound Cake is a distinguished indica-dominant hybrid strain (60% indica, 40% sativa) created by Humboldt Seed Company through the crossbreeding of Notorious THC and Wedding Cake. This award-winning strain emerged as the winner of a Phenotype Mega Hunt, showcasing exceptional breeding heritage and quality. Named for its frosty appearance that resembles a freshly iced slice of pound cake, the strain features chunky, resin-dripping buds covered in glistening trichomes. The meticulous breeding process addressed concerns with Wedding Cake's tendency toward hermaphroditism, resulting in a more stable genetic line.
The strain exhibits dense, cone-shaped buds with thick layers of sticky, white resin that contribute to its visual appeal and potency. With THC levels ranging from 24-30%, Humboldt Pound Cake delivers a powerful experience characterized by both uplifting cerebral effects and relaxing physical sensations. The strain's complex terpene profile creates rich earthly flavors with tangy, almost sour notes, complemented by sweet vanilla cake undertones and hints of fresh fruity blueberries. Its balanced effects make it suitable for both recreational and medical use, particularly for evening consumption.
