Parfait
Also known as: Parfait #1, Parfait Cake
Parfait Strain Overview
Parfait is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its dessert-like flavor profile and well-rounded effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat uncertain, but it appears to have emerged in the early 2020s from boutique breeders in the United States. Some sources suggest it may be a phenotype selection from the Wedding Cake family, while others indicate it could be a cross between Gelato and another dessert strain. The name 'Parfait' reflects its layered flavor experience that combines sweet, creamy, and fruity notes.
The strain produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance. The flowers typically display a vibrant green base with purple and orange accents, covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes. The pistils are often bright orange, creating a visually appealing contrast. Parfait's buds have a sticky, resinous texture that indicates high potency. The strain's aroma is complex, combining sweet vanilla and berry notes with earthy undertones and a hint of gas.
Parfait is known for providing a balanced experience that begins with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation. The effects are typically described as smooth and manageable, making it suitable for both daytime and evening use depending on dosage. The strain has gained particular attention in the cannabis community for its dessert-like flavor profile that lives up to its name, though comprehensive information about its exact genetic lineage remains limited.

Parfait Strain Growing Information
Parfait is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-9 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor harvest usually occurs in mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also be grown outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures.
Indoor plants typically reach heights of 100-150 cm, while outdoor plants can grow taller, up to 180-200 cm. Expected yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The plants benefit from regular pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. Parfait is somewhat sensitive to environmental fluctuations and requires stable temperature and humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold development in its dense buds.
