Also known as: Melon Cake Auto, Melon Cake Autoflower
Melon Cake Strain Overview
Melon Cake is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Wedding Cake with an undisclosed melon-flavored parent strain. The strain emerged in the late 2010s as breeders sought to combine the popular dessert-like qualities of Wedding Cake with distinctive fruity terpenes. While its exact genetic lineage beyond the Wedding Cake parent remains somewhat proprietary among breeders, the strain has gained recognition for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile that lives up to its name.
The strain typically produces dense, conical buds with a frosty trichome coverage that gives the flowers a sugary appearance. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to occasional purple hues, with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the compact flower structure. The buds are known for their resinous texture and sticky feel when properly cured. Melon Cake plants exhibit hybrid growth patterns with moderate branching and node spacing that makes them suitable for various training techniques.
Notable features include its pronounced sweet aroma that combines cake-like dessert notes with fresh melon undertones. The flavor profile is similarly distinctive, offering a smooth smoke or vapor that delivers its namesake characteristics. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced effects that provide both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation.

Melon Cake Strain Growing Information
Melon Cake is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though it thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and can grow slightly taller outdoors. Melon Cake responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield and light penetration.
Special considerations include maintaining moderate humidity levels (40-50% during flowering) to prevent mold in the dense buds. The plants benefit from regular feeding with balanced nutrients and respond well to organic growing methods. Some phenotypes may exhibit slight nutrient sensitivity, so gradual introduction of supplements is recommended. The autoflowering version has a shorter total life cycle of 10-12 weeks from seed to harvest.
