Pudding Cake
Also known as: Pudding Cake #1, Pudding Cake #2
Pudding Cake Strain Overview
Pudding Cake is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed through the crossbreeding of Wedding Cake and Gelato #33, two highly regarded cultivars in contemporary cannabis culture. The strain emerged in the late 2010s as part of the "dessert strain" trend, where breeders focused on creating varieties with sweet, dessert-like aromas and flavors. While its exact origin remains somewhat unclear, Pudding Cake is believed to have been developed by breeders on the West Coast of the United States, though multiple seed banks now offer their own versions of this strain.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, chunky buds that display a striking contrast between deep purple and forest green hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The buds typically have a rounded, almost spherical shape reminiscent of their Wedding Cake parentage. The visual appeal is further enhanced by the strain's tendency to develop purple coloration, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase.
Pudding Cake has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. The strain represents a successful fusion of its parent genetics, combining Wedding Cake's relaxing body effects with Gelato #33's cerebral euphoria. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Pudding Cake has developed a dedicated following in cannabis communities that appreciate dessert-flavored varieties with potent effects.

Pudding Cake Strain Growing Information
Pudding Cake is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready around mid-October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold (due to dense bud structure) and providing adequate support for branches as buds develop. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
