Wedding Cake (aka Pink Cookies or Triangle Mints #23) is a mostly indica variety from Seed Junky and can be cultivated indoors and outdoors. Seed Junkys Wedding Cake is a THC dominant variety and is/was never available as feminized seeds.
Seed Junkys Wedding Cake Description
Wedding Cake is a hard-hitting indica-dominant hybrid with unconfirmed genetic origins. Known for its sweet, pastry-like aroma and intense effects that combine uplifting cerebral stimulus with a deep physical stone, this strain has quickly become a favorite among smokers the world over.
Strain History of Wedding Cake
Wedding Cake was created by Seed Junky Genetics. While Seed Junky is today a well-recognized name in cannabis genetics, operating out of a state-of-the-art grow room in California, the brand started way back in the 2000s in a small garage. Head breeder JBeezy (AKA Anthony Hart) has long had a passion for growing weed and, in particular, pheno-hunting. And his passion sure paid off—JBeezy is the proud creator of Ice Cream Cake, Wedding Cake, Kush Mints, The Soap, Jealousy, and hundreds of other strains winning over smokers’ hearts every day.
Genetic Lineage of Wedding Cake
Wedding Cake is a slightly indica-dominant hybrid, estimated to have roughly 60% indica genes, though some varieties may test a little higher. The exact lineage of the strain is debated: some say that Wedding Cake is a cross between Triangle Kush and Animal Mints, while others claim it's a unique hybrid of Cherry Pie and GSC. Some even claim that Wedding Cake is actually just a unique phenotype of Triangle Mints (Triangle Kush x Animal Mints). In Canada, Wedding Cake is also sold as Pink Cookies.
Cherry Pie and GSC are both Cookies Fam strains, known for their unique dessert aromas and high potency. Cherry Pie combines genetics from Granddaddy Purple and F1 Durb, while GSC is a cross of F1 Durb and OG Kush. Both strains have unique pastry-like aromas, though Cherry Pie stands out for having a notable sweet-and-sour fruitiness to it, reminiscent of fresh cherries. Both GSC and Cherry Pie have similar effects, relaxing the body while uplifting the mind, leaving users in a happy, calm, and social state.
Animal Mints is a descendant of Animal Cookies, combining its genetics with those of SinMint Cookies by SinCity Seeds to make for a potent strain that produces a strong mental and physical buzz. While some users might find its effects overly sedative, Animal Mints is a favorite among lovers of hybrid weed and medical cannabis patients looking for long-lasting relief. Meanwhile, Triangle Kush is a proud Southern creation, bred in Miami, Florida allegedly using genetics from Nevil Schoenmakers’ seed bank.
Physical Characteristics of Wedding Cake
Wedding Cake by Seed Junky is no longer available in seed form, meaning there is no information available regarding the original strain's grow traits and characteristics. However, due to the overwhelming popularity of Wedding Cake, other seed banks have started offering the strain in seed form. Unfortunately, it's impossible to know how these plants compare to the original bred by Seed Junky.
Grow reports from home growers suggest that Wedding Cake plants are typically short and bushy, especially when grown indoors. Vegetating Wedding Cake plants develop dark green foliage, with broad, large leaves and tightly spaced nodes. Even outdoor plants grown in large pots or in the ground reach only moderate heights.
Once they start flowering, Wedding Cake plants produce large buds all along their main colas, with smaller yet dense flowers further down. Wedding Cake buds are usually bright or deep green, with tightly packed calyxes bursting with light orange pistils. Once ripe, Wedding Cake flowers are coated in a thick layer of trichomes that resembles sweet, sugary icing. Sometimes, Wedding Cake flowers may also boast beautiful shades of purple.
Properties and Effects of Wedding Cake
Wedding Cake produces roughly 25% THC and a rich mix of different terpenes, including caryophyllene, limonene, myrcene, as well as humulene. Its aroma is very strong, reminiscent of sweet pastry with earthy undertones and some clear notes of spice and vanilla. The flavors are similar, though some users find them more spicy and earthy, especially on the exhale.
With its high THC concentration and unique combination of terpenes, Wedding Cake produces strong effects that kick in very quickly after your first hit. Within minutes, you can expect to feel a relaxing sensation wash over both your mind and body. Many users report feeling both mentally alert and physically relaxed when using this strain. Wedding Cake is also known to cause the munchies and usually leaves users in a relaxed, happy, and sleepy daze once its main effects wear off.
Uses of Wedding Cake
Recreational users love Wedding Cake for its intense cerebral effects as well as its grounding physical stone. That said, most users don't recommend using Wedding Cake in the morning or during the day, as its effects don't leave much room for productivity. Instead, they recommend it for:
• Watching movies or TV
• Listening to music
• Relaxing outdoors
• Napping
• Romantic evenings (wink, wink)
Wedding Cake's combination of uplifting cerebral effects and physical relaxation also appeal to a lot of medical users. Remember that every person's experience with cannabis is different, but according to patient reports, medical cannabis users turn to Wedding Cake for relief from a variety of mood-related symptoms, as well as symptoms such as pain, appetite issues, sleep issues, and more.
Like all high-THC cannabis strains, Wedding Cake is known to cause negative side effects in some users. These effects may vary from one person to another, but can include:
• Couch-lock
• Dry mouth and dry eyes
• Dizzy spells or low blood pressure
• Anxiety
• Paranoia
Cultivation and Production of Wedding Cake
As Seed Junky doesn't currently sell Wedding Cake in seed or clone form, it’s difficult for growers to source original Wedding Cake genetics. The many grow reports that discuss the strain's growth pattern and traits, therefore, come from Wedding Cake seeds or clones produced by other seed banks, including Barney's Farm, Zamnesia Seeds, and more.
In general, Wedding Cake plants are vigorous and grow well indoors and outdoors, as well as in soil and hydro setups. Young plants are very bushy, producing tight clusters of broad, dark green leaves. Training, pruning, and defoliation are all recommended to help promote proper light penetration into this strain's tight canopy, especially before bloom.
As they flower, Wedding Cake plants gradually become more aromatic. They respond well to feeding, and produce large buds, sometimes with pink-purple hues (depending on the conditions they're grown in). Like many indica-dominant hybrids, Wedding Cake responds really well to cooler nighttime temperatures, which can promote the plants to produce more resin.
Wedding Cake — Say "I Do" to This High-Potency Hybrid
Wedding Cake is a beloved hybrid from Seed Junky Genetics. While its exact genetics are highly debated and unclear, one thing is—Wedding Cake packs plenty of potency and delivers an intense high that uplifts the mind while relaxing the entire body. While Seed Junky currently doesn't sell Wedding Cake seed stock or clones, many other seed banks and breeders have created their own versions of this hybrid, which can be a great alternative for home growers.
