Wedding Cake Feminized

Wedding Cake Feminized at a glance

Wedding Cake Feminized is a mostly indica photoperiod hybrid, roughly 70% indica, bred from Girl Scout Cookies and Cherry Pie. THC reaches up to 25% and more, with CBD under 1%. The nose is sweet and vanilla-led over black pepper, and the effect opens bright before it turns heavy, hungry and sedative.

Genetics

Girl Scout Cookies is the backbone: it hands over the dense, compact build, the thick coat of trichomes and the heavy body effect. Cherry Pie adds the fruity sweetness and a trace of sativa that lifts the first half hour, so the high does not pin you to the couch right away. Some growers know the plant as Pink Cookies.

Our guide to indica cannabis seeds shows what a 70% indica profile asks of you in a tent: early training, open airflow, and an eye on humidity late in flower.

Wedding Cake has since become the mother of a whole dessert family. Wedding Crasher Feminized and Wedding Gelato Feminized both carry it in their background, and each has its own numbers and character, so read their pages separately before you choose.

Aroma and effect

Expect sweet, doughy vanilla and cookies up front, a peppery edge from the caryophyllene and an earthy base. Break a bud open and a citrus note shows up. The smell builds through late flower and gets loud in the last weeks.

The first minutes are bright: a euphoric, talkative lift that sits in the head. Then the body takes over, the muscles let go, the appetite wakes up and the end of the session turns sedative. With THC up to 25% and more, the finish is distinctly sedative.

Growing guide

Difficulty is moderate. Wedding Cake stays compact, at 80 to 120 cm indoors, and it flowers in 8 to 9 weeks (56 to 63 days) after the switch to 12/12. It suits indoor, greenhouse and outdoor climates, but its dense buds hold moisture, so airflow and humidity matter more than height.

Indoors: from veg to flower

Give the seedling a week or two, then only 2 to 3 weeks of vegetative growth before the flip to 12 hours of light: the bushy side branching fills a tent faster than you expect. From that day, flowering takes 8 to 9 weeks (56 to 63 days), a one-week window, and the count starts only with the 12/12 flip.

Low-stress training and topping in veg build an even canopy with many bud sites at the same level. Remove the big fan leaves that shade bud sites at the start of flower, then make a lighter pass around weeks three to four; stripping it hard does it no favours. Keep relative humidity between 40 and 50% through flower, with an oscillating fan at canopy level, since mould starts inside dense buds like these.

It grows in soil or hydro. Keep the pH between 6.0 and 7.0 in soil, or between 5.5 and 6.5 in hydro. Feed moderately to heavily in veg and early flower, then switch to a bloom feed richer in phosphorus and potassium once the buds form. From week eight, look at the heads under a loupe: mostly cloudy trichomes with 10 to 20% amber give the full sedative effect. The trichome guide helps you pick the day.

Outdoors in Quebec

It finishes late. An 8 to 9 week bloom puts the harvest in early to mid-October, and in Quebec, along the St. Lawrence, that lands in cold, damp weeks. Frost is a threat, but grey mould does the most damage in buds this dense, so give the plant room and plan a rain cover or a greenhouse from the start.

Our outdoor growing guide for Canada helps you plan the season, and a greenhouse or at least a rain cover for the last weeks protects those tight, resinous heads from the cold, wet autumn of the St. Lawrence valley.

Growing tips

Top once or twice in veg, bend the branches sideways with low-stress training, and thin the lower canopy early so air moves through those thick branches. Start the flush 10 to 14 days before the cut, as explained in our guide to harvest timing, flushing and curing; with fewer salts left in the plant, the terpenes, the vanilla above all, come through cleaner.

Then hang the branches upside down in the dark and dry them for about 18 days at 18°C and 60% relative humidity, with air moving. Run a dehumidifier non-stop for the first 48 hours and never go above 18°C. Finish in sealed glass jars: the vanilla deepens the longer they rest.
