Also known as: Los Angeles Kush Cake, LA Kush Cake #11, Los Angeles Cake, Los Angeles Kush, Kush Cake, Kush Cake #11, Tinsel Mints
Overview
LA Kush Cake is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by Seed Junky Genetics in collaboration with Liberty Health Sciences, resulting from crossing two beloved strains: Wedding Cake and Kush Mints. The strain won Best Personal Flower at the 2019 Emerald Cup cannabis awards in California and is recognized for its high THC levels and rich concentration of dessert terpenes treasured by both recreational and medical cannabis users. Both parent strains trace their lineage to Animal Mints, itself a descendant of the iconic Girl Scout Cookies (GSC), making LA Kush Cake part of the prestigious Cookies family line.
LA Kush Cake produces dense, compact buds displaying beautiful hues of green and purple, heavily coated in crystal trichomes that give them a snowy appearance with vibrant orange pistils. The strain exhibits classic OG heritage characteristics with heavy notes of petrol and earth mixed with scents of pine and vanilla, and when broken apart, a sour skunk aroma becomes more prominent, though the smoke is surprisingly smooth with an earthy and herbal finish. As a balanced hybrid strain featuring qualities of both indica and sativa with a 50% indica and 50% sativa composition, LA Kush Cake offers well-rounded effects suitable for various users.

Growing Information
LA Kush Cake cultivation is moderate to moderately challenging, suitable for intermediate and experienced growers, and can be grown both indoors and outdoors. The flowering time is approximately 7-10 weeks with moderate to high yields under optimal conditions. The strain flourishes in moderately warm, dry climates with good air circulation and ample light exposure, with indoor cultivation allowing better control over temperature and humidity. Common growing challenges include nitrogen and calcium deficiencies, with mold being a concern especially for outdoor growers, requiring humidity control between 50-60% for indoor cultivation. Plants stretch considerably during flowering (sometimes doubling in height) but respond well to training techniques like topping, LST, defoliation, and pruning, with harvest readiness in 7-8 weeks of bloom.
