Limon Cake
Also known as: Lemon Cake, Lemon Cake Kush
Limon Cake Strain Overview
Limon Cake is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain celebrated for its pronounced citrus aroma and relaxing yet uplifting effects. It is believed to be a cross between Lemon Skunk and Wedding Cake, combining the zesty, energetic qualities of the former with the sweet, heavy relaxation of the latter. The strain emerged in the late 2010s, gaining popularity in the West Coast cannabis market for its flavorful profile and versatile effects. Breeders aimed to create a strain with a robust terpene profile and a balanced high, making it suitable for both recreational and potential therapeutic use.
The plant typically produces dense, conical buds that are light to medium green in color, often with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of milky white trichomes. The buds are notably resinous and sticky to the touch, a characteristic inherited from its Wedding Cake parent. A key distinguishing feature is its powerful aroma, which strongly evokes fresh lemons and citrus zest, underscored by sweet, creamy, and earthy notes reminiscent of cake or pastry. This complex scent translates directly to its flavor profile when consumed.
Limon Cake is considered a moderately potent strain with effects that begin cerebrally before settling into a full-body relaxation. It is often chosen by users seeking stress relief without excessive sedation, making it a popular daytime or evening option. Due to its recent development, detailed historical documentation is limited, and its exact genetic lineage may vary slightly depending on the breeder. However, its consistent characteristics have secured it a place among notable modern hybrid strains.

Limon Cake Strain Growing Information
Limon Cake is considered a strain of moderate difficulty to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. It thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, preferring a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with consistent sunlight when grown outdoors. Indoor flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks. The plant exhibits a semi-bushy structure with moderate height, making it manageable for indoor spaces with some training (like topping or LST) recommended to optimize light exposure and yield. Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers often reporting 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams or more per plant if harvested in late September to early October. It is relatively resistant to common molds and pests but requires good airflow, especially during the flowering stage due to its dense bud structure.
