Velvet Wedding
Velvet Wedding Strain Overview
Velvet Wedding is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing Wedding Cake with an undisclosed indica-dominant parent, though some sources suggest it may involve Gelato genetics. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to combine the dessert-like qualities of Wedding Cake with more relaxing, physically soothing effects. While its exact origin story remains somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding circles, Velvet Wedding has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its unique sensory profile and well-rounded effects.
The strain's name reflects its sensory characteristics, with 'velvet' describing the smooth smoke and luxurious mouthfeel, and 'wedding' paying homage to its Wedding Cake lineage. Plants typically produce dense, conical buds with a coating of frosty trichomes that give them a shimmering appearance. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The buds are known for their exceptional resin production, making them popular among concentrate producers.
Velvet Wedding is considered a moderately rare strain, primarily available through select breeders and dispensaries in legal markets. Its balanced genetic profile makes it suitable for both recreational and therapeutic users seeking a middle-ground experience between cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. The strain has developed a following among those who appreciate dessert strains but desire less intense psychoactive effects than those typically associated with pure Wedding Cake varieties.

Velvet Wedding Strain Growing Information
Velvet Wedding is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
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, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Velvet Wedding responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold in the dense buds and monitoring nutrient levels carefully, as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. Growers should be prepared for the strong, sweet aroma during flowering, which requires adequate odor control measures in indoor setups.
