Brain Cake
Brain Cake
Also known as: Do-Si-Dos S1, BRAIN CAKE
Overview
Brain Cake is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (60% sativa / 40% indica) developed by Ripper Seeds, originating from Oregon as one of the most sought-after cuts in the American cannabis scene. The strain was created through selective breeding using a Do-Si-Dos phenotype, which is itself derived from a cross between Face-Off OG and OGKB (OG Kush Breath). Through an S1 breeding process (selfing), Ripper Seeds stabilized the genetics to create this distinctive strain that combines the robust kush flavors of its lineage with energizing sativa effects. Brain Cake represents the modern era of cannabis breeding, showcasing meticulous genetic selection with emphasis on quality and consistency. The strain has gained recognition in cannabis competitions and expos for its unique profile that balances mental stimulation with physical relaxation. Visually, Brain Cake is striking with dense, medium-sized flowers that develop beautiful dark purple and deep green colorations when exposed to cooler temperatures during flowering. The buds are compact and resin-rich, covered in crystalline trichomes that produce substantial amounts of THC-laden resin. The plant maintains the characteristic long internode structure inherited from its parent strains, making it well-suited for growers with adequate space.

Growing Information
Brain Cake is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation with moderate growing difficulty. The strain maintains long internode structure from its parent genetics but produces surprisingly high yields when given adequate space. Vegetative period lasts 2-4 weeks, with a flowering time of 60-65 days indoors. Outdoor plants are typically ready for harvest in early October. The strain responds well to lower temperatures during flowering, which brings out its distinctive dark purple and green colorations. Expected yields are approximately 450g per square meter indoors and up to 800g per plant outdoors. Brain Cake shows good resistance to temperature fluctuations and can tolerate both indoor and outdoor conditions with ease. Plants develop medium-sized but very compact, dense flowers with large calyxes and short pistils. The strain benefits from proper canopy management and responds well to training techniques.
