Bred by one of California's most revered cannabis breeders, this hybrid strain has been winning over smokers for years. Keep reading to learn all there is to know about the LA Kush Cake strain.

History of LA Kush Cake

LA Kush Cake is a popular hybrid strain bred by Seed Junky Genetics. Founded and led by long-time grower and breeder JBeezy, Seed Junky Genetics has become one of the biggest names in modern cannabis. Through his years of experience growing and breeding weed, as well as through strategic partnerships with brands like Cookies, Jungle Boys, Glass House Brands, Liberty Health Sciences, and more, JBeezy has come to create some of the biggest strains to launch in recent years. Among them are:

• Animal Cookies

• Gelato

• Blackberry Pie

• Jealousy

• The Soap

• Animal Mints

LA Kush Cake won Best Personal Flower at the 2019 Emerald Cup cannabis awards in California. It boasts high THC levels and a rich concentration of cakey, dessert terpenes treasured by both recreational and medical cannabis users. Today, it is still highly regarded as one of Seed Junky's most popular creations.

Genetic Lineage of LA Kush Cake

LA Kush Cake combines genetics from two beloved Seed Junky Strains: Kush Mints and Wedding Cake. Below we'll take a look at both of these strains, their traits, and how they influenced those of LA Kush Cake.

Kush Mints is a very potent Kush variety bred from Animal Mints and Bubba Kush. Combining both indica and sativa genetics, Kush Mints is known to be a versatile hybrid that produces dense, compact flowers shaped like pine trees and boasting a unique minty cookie aroma. With THC levels of 25–30% (and sometimes more), Kush Mints produces strong effects that couple a euphoric, creative cerebral buzz with warm, relaxing physical effects—typical of a good Kush. Smokers with a trained nose will have no trouble recognizing Kush Mints' fresh pine and mint overtones in LA Kush Cake, as well as its relaxing body stone.

The second parent strain used to create LA Kush Cake is Wedding Cake—arguably one of Seed Junky's most iconic strains. Also known as Triangle Mints #23 or Pink Cookies, Wedding Cake is a descendant of the infamous Cookies line and was created in collaboration with Berner's Cookies brand. Voted Leafly's Strain of the Year in 2019, Wedding Cake is beloved for its calming, relaxing euphoria that washes over both the mind and body, leaving users in a peaceful, stress-free daze. As her name suggests, Wedding Cake is known for its decadent aroma that combines an earthy, cookie-ish sweetness with clear notes of fresh vanilla and pepper. Wedding Cake's sweet pastry notes have quite obviously influenced the aroma of LA Kush Cake.

Physical Characteristics of LA Kush Cake

LA Kush Cake appears as a strong, vigorous hybrid plant. While in veg, plants seem to stay nice and compact and grow very quickly, developing moderately spaced nodes and plenty of leaves. New leaves usually look bright green as they first appear, then quickly turn nice and dark. Reminiscent of old-school Kush varieties, LA Kush Cake has large and very broad fan leaves and a thick central stem. Once flipped over to bloom, however, LA Kush Cake tends to stretch immensely, developing long, strong branches as she prepares to bear the weight of her dense flowers.

Typically, LA Kush Cake flowers showcase a beautiful vibrant green color, though the strain can develop purple hues in some conditions. Made of tightly stacked calyxes, LA Kush Cake flowers are generally very dense and heavy, boasting eye-catching strands of red pistils and a frosty coating of trichomes.

Properties and Effects of LA Kush Cake

LA Kush Cake is a potent cannabis strain with THC levels ranging between 20–25%, though some batches test considerably higher. LA Kush Cake is also rich in terpenes, particularly limonene, caryophyllene, and myrcene, which combine to give the strain its uniquely sweet, peppery, and slightly minty cookie aroma. The strain's flavor is very similar to its aroma; expect minty, peppery notes to take over your palate, followed by a decadent hint of vanilla on the exhale.

In terms of effects, LA Kush Cake is potent but reportedly well-balanced, delivering both a warm, tingly body stone as well as an uplifting, positive head high. Users with a moderate to high tolerance may find this strain ideal for afternoon or evening use as it relaxes the body and mind while leaving users functional and motivated enough to get on with various tasks. Users with a lighter tolerance, however, may find LA Kush Cake to produce more heavy, sedative-like effects, and might want to reserve it for the evenings. Many users also find LA Kush Cake to have arousing effects.

Uses of LA Kush Cake

LA Kush Cake is a very popular strain—it was even Leafly's February 2022 Highlight, thanks to its delicious aroma and sensual effects. Hence, it's no wonder that both recreational and medical cannabis users treasure this strain. With its blend of physical and mentally calming effects, recreational tokers reserve this strain:

• For quiet nights at home alone or with their "special someone"

• To relax mid-afternoon before chores

• While relaxing outdoors on the weekend

• While watching movies or TV

• While listening to music

• After a workout

Meanwhile, medical cannabis patients with the following symptoms or conditions report using this strain:

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Stress

• Pain

• Nausea and appetite loss

• Sleep issues

Like all high-THC cannabis strains, LA Kush Cake is capable of producing side effects, including:

• Paranoia

• Anxiety

• Dry eyes and mouth

• Sedation/couch-lock (depending on dose and tolerance)

Cultivation and Production of LA Kush Cake

LA Kush Cake is no longer listed on the Seed Junky website, suggesting that the strain isn't currently available in seed or clone form. However, some growers have shared their experience of growing this strain, giving us some insight into what LA Kush Cake is like to cultivate.

Based on grower reports, LA Kush Cake is a versatile strain that can be grown both indoors and outdoors, as well as in soil and soilless setups. Thanks to the strain's short height during veg, it is fairly popular among a lot of growers—however, keep in mind that LA Kush Cake plants stretch considerably (sometimes doubling their height) once in bloom.

That said, this strain also responds well to a variety of training techniques, while also holding up well to pests and unfavorable conditions (particularly the cold). Some popular training techniques used by growers include topping, LST, defoliation, pruning, and main-lining. The strain can be harvest-ready after just 7–8 weeks of bloom, making it a very attractive option for impatient or time-sensitive growers.

Bred by Seed Junky Genetics from Wedding Cake and Kush Mints, LA Kush Cake is a popular and well-balanced hybrid. It delivers an uplifting mental buzz as well as a warm, tingly, and sometimes horny body stone that both recreational smokers and MMJ patients can't get enough of.
