Purple Pound Cake
What is the Purple Pound Cake strain?
Purple Pound Cake is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
Purple Pound Cake is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (70% indica/30% sativa) created through crossing Sunset Sherbet with another unknown indica strain. Although its exact heritage isn't known due to a high level of breeder secrecy, this bud is also thought to be a member of the Purple family due to its gorgeous appearance. The strain represents part of the broader dessert-themed genetics that gained popularity in the late 2010s, combining the sweet, fruity characteristics of Sunset Sherbet with the colorful anthocyanin expression typical of purple cultivars. Purple Pound Cake is closely related to London Pound Cake, with some breeding lines indicating it may be a purple phenotype that has been hunted for 2 generations from London Pound Cake genetics.
The strain produces fat and fluffy grape-shaped olive green nugs with deep purple undertones, thin light orange hairs and a thick and frosty coating of tiny, purple-tinted white crystal trichomes. The dense, resinous buds showcase the strain's indica heritage while displaying the characteristic purple coloration that gives it its name. When properly cultivated, the flowers develop striking visual appeal with their combination of purple hues, orange pistils, and heavy trichome coverage that contributes to both potency and bag appeal.
