Lace Cake
Also known as: Lace Cake OG
Lace Cake Strain Overview
Lace Cake is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within the cannabis breeding community. The strain is believed to have been developed by crossing Wedding Cake with a phenotype of OG Kush, though some sources suggest additional genetic influences may be present. Its name likely references both its genetic connection to Wedding Cake and the delicate, intricate appearance of its trichome coverage, which resembles fine lace when viewed under magnification.
The strain produces dense, conical buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica heritage, though it maintains some sativa-like branching patterns. The flowers typically display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler temperatures, complemented by bright orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The visual appeal is enhanced by the contrast between the dark green leaves and the sparkling resin glands that give the buds a sugar-coated appearance.
Lace Cake has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, it has developed a following in certain regional markets and among home growers who appreciate its manageable cultivation characteristics. The strain represents a continuation of the 'cake' lineage trend in cannabis breeding, which emphasizes dessert-like aromas and potent, well-rounded effects.

Lace Cake Strain Growing Information
Lace Cake is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but prefers a controlled indoor environment where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, reaching 100-150 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Lace Cake responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain good air circulation to prevent mold, particularly in the dense buds during late flowering. The plants benefit from a gradual reduction in temperature during the final weeks to enhance coloration and terpene production.
