Strawberry Shortcake
Strawberry Shortcake
Also known as: Strawberry Cupcake, OG Strawberry Shortcake, Strawberry Shortcake OG, Strawberry SC
Overview
Strawberry Shortcake is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing White Wookie with The White. However, there is also a sativa-dominant version bred by Dark Horse Genetics that crosses a J3 cut of Juliet with Strawberry Diesel. The strain emerged out of Colorado, with multiple cultivators credited for creating different versions, including Cannarado Genetics and The Jungle Boys. The indica-dominant version is prized for its striking presentation, rich resin production, and layered aromatic profile.
Strawberry Shortcake features a strong and hearty strawberry flavor that lives up to its name with sweet fruity strawberry aromas. The Dark Horse Genetics version produces an aromatic blend of fuel and strawberries, described as "bubble-gum scented Jolly Ranchers" and "old funky cotton candy". The White parent contributes a dense layer of trichomes that gives buds a frosty, crystalline look. The hybrid grows well both indoors and outdoors, reaching slightly above-average height and yielding medium-to-high harvests of sugar-coated, light green buds in a nine-week flowering cycle.

Growing Information
Strawberry Shortcake grows well both indoors and outdoors, reaching slightly above-average height and yielding medium-to-high harvests in a nine-week flowering cycle. The strain is unsuitable for new growers and can be somewhat tricky to maintain, as seeds are hard to come by and the plants only thrive in optimal conditions. Growers must make above-average effort to prevent mold and pests before harvest. Plants grow to medium size with yields of 1-2 ounces per foot indoors and 15-20 ounces per plant outdoors. Indoor flowering time is 65-72 days. Experienced growers recommend outdoor cultivation with frequent watering to maximize yields.
