London Pound Cake
London Pound Cake
Also known as: Pound Cake, LPC
Overview
London Pound Cake is a highly potent indica-dominant hybrid (approximately 70% indica, 30% sativa) created by the renowned Cookies Fam Genetics in California. This dessert-inspired strain is a cross between Sunset Sherbet and an undisclosed heavy-hitting indica parent strain that remains a closely guarded secret, though some speculate it may be a phenotype of Girl Scout Cookies. The strain has gained significant popularity in the cannabis community for its exceptional potency and unique flavor profile. London Pound Cake plants exhibit typical hybrid characteristics with medium internodal spacing and can stretch considerably during early bloom. The buds are dense, indica-style flowers that develop into plump, round calyxes with bright orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty trichomes that give them a glazed appearance. In cooler growing conditions, the strain can develop stunning purple hues that add to its visual appeal. The strain is known for producing extremely aromatic and resinous flowers, making it highly sought after for both recreational and medicinal purposes.

Growing Information
London Pound Cake is considered moderately difficult to grow and is better suited for experienced cultivators. The strain has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest by late October when grown outdoors. Plants can reach heights of over 90 inches and require careful management due to their tendency to stretch during early bloom. The strain responds well to training techniques like LST and SCROG methods. Growers should pay special attention to humidity control as the dense buds are susceptible to mold and mildew. The plant performs well both indoors and outdoors, with indoor yields reaching up to 500g/m². Outdoor cultivation requires warm, sunny conditions similar to a Mediterranean climate with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Regular pruning and defoliation are necessary to maintain proper airflow and prevent moisture-related issues.
