Blue Cake
Also known as: Blue Cake Frosting
Overview
Blue Cake is an indica/sativa hybrid strain created by Apothecary Genetics as a three-way cross between Blue Dream, Kaya Kush, and Grape Ape. This strain has garnered significant attention in the cannabis community for its unique blend of flavors, aromas, and balanced effects, offering both indica and sativa genetics that appeal to recreational and medicinal users alike. The strain inherits championship genetics from Kaya Kush, a 2007 Amsterdam High Times Cannabis Cup winner that's a cross between OG Kush and Super Silver Haze.
Blue Cake is a modern hybrid cultivar celebrated for combining berry-forward sweetness with a frosted vanilla cake finish, positioned as a balanced hybrid offering upbeat mental clarity followed by soothing body relaxation. The flower produces lime green and dark violet buds with orange hairs covered in a layer of crystals, with some plants displaying streaks or colors from anthocyanins that form when agitated by cold temperatures during growth. Common characteristics include medium-compact buds dripping with trichomes, a terpene bouquet that leans sweet-citrus and earthy, and THC test results that frequently land above 20%.

Growing Information
Blue Cake requires about 9-10 weeks of flowering indoors and is ready for outdoor harvest in mid-October, offering medium-high yields both indoors and outdoors. The sativa aspects of Blue Cake's personality can cause plants to grow pretty leafy, requiring some pruning. This easy-to-grow strain rewards outdoor gardeners well, reacting best to warmer, Mediterranean-style climates with limited rainfall, with greenhouses recommended for cooler climates. For growing media, Blue Cake thrives in quality coco blends, airy peat mixes, and living soil, with beginners finding coco-perlite forgiving due to precise EC control, while living soil can maximize terpene expression.
