Powder Cakes
Also known as: Powder Cake
Powder Cakes Strain Overview
Powder Cakes is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Wedding Cake with Powder Keg. The strain emerged in the late 2010s as part of the 'cake strain' trend that gained popularity in North American cannabis markets. Breeders sought to combine Wedding Cake's dessert-like qualities with Powder Keg's potent effects, resulting in a balanced hybrid that has gained recognition in both medical and recreational circles.
The strain is characterized by dense, frosty buds that are typically medium to large in size. The flowers display a striking appearance with deep purple hues often visible beneath a thick coating of white trichomes, giving the strain its 'powdered' appearance. The leaves are usually dark green with occasional amber pistils weaving through the compact bud structure. The visual appeal is one of Powder Cakes' most notable features, with the trichome coverage being particularly impressive even by modern standards.
Powder Cakes has gained popularity for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. The strain represents a successful fusion of indica and sativa genetics, offering users a versatile experience that can be enjoyed at different times of day depending on dosage. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream cake strains, Powder Cakes has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its aesthetic qualities and reliable effects.

Powder Cakes Strain Growing Information
Powder Cakes is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though indoor cultivation allows better control over the temperature and humidity levels that this strain prefers. Plants tend to remain medium in height, making them suitable for indoor spaces with height restrictions. Powder Cakes requires careful attention to nutrient levels and benefits from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize yield. The dense bud structure makes proper airflow and humidity control essential to prevent mold or mildew issues.
