Coffee Cake
Coffee Cake
Also known as: Koffee Cake
Overview
Coffee Cake is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition in the craft cannabis market for its unique dessert-like qualities combined with coffee aromatics. The strain was developed by multiple breeders with different genetic lineages, creating some variation in phenotypes, though the core characteristics remain consistent. The most commonly cited version is a cross between Fire Alien Kush and Koffee, though other versions include Alphakronik Genes' creation using Bubba Kush genetics. First brought to market in 2018 after extensive research and experimentation by seasoned breeders, the strain has since become a favorite among both connoisseurs and medical users. Coffee Cake is prized for its dessert-like sweetness balanced by a roasted coffee backbone, blending confectionary notes with darker, toasted aromatics that make it stand out among the broader Cake family. The strain boasts visually captivating buds with lush, bright green colors enriched with intricate dark green accents, while dark orange pistils gracefully unfurl like expertly steamed milk in espresso art.

Growing Information
Coffee Cake is considered moderately difficult to grow, suitable for intermediate cultivators. The Alphakronik Genes version has a flowering time of 65-70 days (approximately 9-10 weeks) and can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors. The Pacific NW Roots version flowers in 7-8 weeks (approximately 53 days). Indoor growers can expect yields of approximately 21 ounces per square meter with a flowering period spanning 6-8 weeks. The strain's compact and sturdy structure makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it requires proper ventilation, humidity control, and pest management for successful cultivation. The strain responds well to training methods such as Low-Stress Training (LST) and topping to enhance light penetration and overall yield. Plants typically grow in a Christmas tree shape when given adequate space.
