Purple Space Cake Strain Overview
Purple Space Cake is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity in recent years for its balanced effects and distinctive appearance. The strain is believed to have originated from crossing Wedding Cake with Purple Punch, though some sources suggest additional genetic contributions from other purple-hued varieties. Breeders aimed to combine the dessert-like flavors of Wedding Cake with the relaxing properties and vibrant coloration of Purple Punch, resulting in a strain that appeals to both recreational and medicinal users.
The strain's appearance is one of its most notable features, with dense, conical buds that display a striking contrast between deep purple leaves and bright orange pistils. A thick coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance. The purple coloration is most pronounced when plants are exposed to cooler temperatures during the late flowering stage, a characteristic inherited from its Purple Punch lineage. The buds are typically medium to large in size and have a dense, resinous structure that makes them ideal for extraction purposes.
Purple Space Cake has become particularly popular in legal markets across North America and Europe, where it is appreciated for its consistent quality and reliable effects. While not as historically significant as some classic strains, it represents modern breeding efforts to create varieties with specific aesthetic and experiential qualities. The strain's name references both its visual characteristics (purple coloration) and its effects (spacey, cerebral high combined with physical relaxation).

Purple Space Cake Strain Growing Information
Purple Space Cake is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early 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 be grown outdoors in Mediterranean or similar climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. To enhance the purple coloration, growers often expose plants to cooler nighttime temperatures (around 10-15°C) during the final 2-3 weeks of flowering. The plants require good air circulation to prevent mold due to their dense bud structure and benefit from regular pruning to improve light penetration to lower branches.
