Ripley’s Wedding
Also known as: Ripley's Wedding Cake
Ripley’s Wedding Strain Overview
Ripley’s Wedding is a relatively new hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, representing a cross between two popular modern cultivars: Wedding Cake and Ripley’s OG. The strain was developed to combine the dessert-like flavor profile and potent effects of Wedding Cake with the robust growth characteristics and resin production of Ripley’s OG. While specific breeding details are not widely documented, the strain has gained attention in both medical and recreational cannabis communities for its balanced effects and appealing sensory profile.
The plant typically produces dense, conical buds with a frosty trichome coverage that gives them a silvery-white appearance. The flowers often display deep purple and green hues, with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the calyxes. Ripley’s Wedding inherits the gassy, earthy undertones from its Ripley’s OG parent while incorporating the sweet, vanilla-like notes characteristic of Wedding Cake. The aroma is complex, featuring layers of diesel, spice, and creamy sweetness that become more pronounced as the buds are broken apart.
Notable features include the strain's relatively high THC content, which typically ranges between 20-25%, making it a potent option for experienced users. The effects are generally described as balanced, providing both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation. The strain has gained popularity in legal markets, particularly in North America, though it remains less common than its parent strains. Growers appreciate its manageable cultivation requirements and respectable yields, while consumers value its versatile effects that can suit both daytime and evening use depending on dosage.

Ripley’s Wedding Strain Growing Information
Ripley’s Wedding 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 mid to late 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 adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, making them suitable for limited spaces. Ripley’s Wedding benefits from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize light penetration and bud development. The plants are relatively resistant to common molds and pests but require good air circulation, particularly during the flowering phase when dense buds can develop. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers noting sensitivity to overfeeding during the vegetative stage.
