Wilson Cake
Also known as: Wilson's Cake
Wilson Cake Strain Overview
Wilson Cake is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within the cannabis breeding community. The strain appears to have been developed by crossing Wedding Cake with an undisclosed Wilson parent strain, though some sources suggest it may involve Wilson! or other Wilson-related genetics. This ambiguity in lineage contributes to some variation in phenotype expressions found in different grow operations.
The strain is characterized by dense, frosty buds that display a striking contrast between deep purple and vibrant green coloration, often accented by bright orange pistils. The nugs are typically compact and resinous, with a thick coating of trichomes that gives them a sugary appearance. Wilson Cake plants tend to develop pronounced purple hues in cooler temperatures, particularly during the final weeks of flowering, making them visually distinctive among dessert-themed strains.
Notable features include its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, creamy notes with earthy undertones and subtle gas-like accents. The strain has gained popularity in both recreational and medicinal cannabis markets, though it remains less widely documented than its parent strain Wedding Cake. Some cultivators note that Wilson Cake exhibits slightly more sativa-leaning effects than typical indica-dominant dessert strains, though this can vary depending on phenotype selection and growing conditions.

Wilson Cake Strain Growing Information
Wilson Cake is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 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 growing environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature can be manipulated to enhance purple coloration. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Wilson Cake responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields.
Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures during flowering (ideally with cooler nighttime temperatures to encourage purple pigmentation) and careful monitoring of nutrient levels, as the strain can be sensitive to overfeeding. Good air circulation is important to prevent mold in the dense buds. The strain shows moderate resistance to common pests and molds but benefits from preventive measures in humid environments.
