What is the King Cake strain?
King Cake is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 23.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and candy and herbal flavor profile.
King Cake, originally known as Disco Glitter, is a clone-only hybrid cannabis strain created by Oregon growers Golden Beaver Farms. This balanced hybrid combines genetics from Ken's Granddaddy Purple and Mystic Gem, inheriting the former's medicinal qualities and heavy-hitting effects while gaining eye-catching colorful characteristics from the latter. Named after the traditional Mardi Gras dessert, King Cake is notable for its distinctive appearance featuring dense, colorful buds that display a patchwork of mossy green and deep purple hues with golden pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The strain's unique terpene profile produces an aromatic bouquet reminiscent of sweet basil and licorice, creating frosty purple, green, and yellow flowers that mirror the festive colors of its namesake pastry. As a clone-only variety, King Cake can only be propagated through cuttings from mature plants, making it a prized cultivar among cannabis enthusiasts.

How do you grow King Cake?
King Cake is a clone-only strain that exhibits traits from both indica and sativa genetics, growing tall but not lanky with thick branches and stalks that provide good resistance to environmental stressors. The plant requires initial indoor cultivation to establish roots for 2 weeks before outdoor transplantation. It flowers in 63-70 days indoors and by late October outdoors, producing moderate to high yields of up to 14 ounces per plant under ideal conditions.
