Platinum Cake
Platinum Cake
Also known as: Platinum Cheesecake, Platinum Cheese Cake
Overview
Platinum Cake is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by In House Genetics through crossing Wedding Cake with Platinum genetics (also referred to as The Platinum or Platinum OG). This potent cultivar emerged as part of the modern cannabis breeding revolution, combining the dessert-like qualities of Wedding Cake with the robust, sedative characteristics of Platinum lineage. The strain typically exhibits a 70% indica to 30% sativa ratio, though some sources report variations ranging from 60/40 to balanced hybrid classifications.
Platinum Cake produces dense, resinous buds with striking visual characteristics that live up to its name. The flowers display vibrant shades of lime and dark green with subtle purple and orange accents, while being heavily coated in platinum-colored trichomes that create a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds are notably dense and sticky, producing an audible crackling sound when broken apart due to their high resin content. This visual appeal is matched by a complex aromatic profile that blends earthy, woody notes with sweet vanilla, coffee, and dried fruit undertones, accented by hints of pepper and pine.
The strain has gained recognition for its potent effects and therapeutic applications, with users reporting significant relief from anxiety, chronic pain, and stress-related conditions. Its balanced genetic profile delivers both cerebral stimulation and deep physical relaxation, making it suitable for evening use while remaining manageable for some daytime applications. Platinum Cake typically flowers within 67-70 days and can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, though it requires experienced growing skills due to its demanding cultivation requirements.

Growing Information
Platinum Cake cultivation requires experienced growing skills and is considered moderately to highly difficult. The strain flowers within 67-70 days (approximately 7-9 weeks) and can be grown both indoors and outdoors. Indoor growers can expect yields up to 400g/m² (approximately 2 ounces per square foot), while outdoor cultivation can produce up to 15 ounces per plant. The plants require careful pH monitoring around 5.8, controlled internodal spacing, and proper airflow to prevent issues. Growing conditions should include controlled indoor environments for best results, with close attention to nutrient schedules and plant support due to the dense, heavy buds. The strain produces medium to tall plants with broad, robust leaves and requires adequate support during flowering due to the weight of resinous buds.
