Overview

Lava Cake is a powerful indica-hybrid marijuana strain made by crossing Thin Mint GSC with Grape Pie. The strain was originally bred by Cannarado Genetics, though there appears to be some confusion with different versions as Compound Genetics is also credited as the breeder of a different Lava Cake variant. This strain is predominantly indica, with a genetic composition of 70% indica and 30% sativa. With THC levels ranging from 15% to a substantial 25%, this potent strain has gained recognition in the cannabis community for its dessert-inspired qualities.

The strain's notable terpene profile creates a sensory journey reminiscent of sweet confections, featuring layers of berry, grape, mint, and vanilla notes. Lava Cake is widely celebrated for its deliciously sweet flavor profile that puts out exceptionally smooth and cakey terpenes. Consumers say this strain smells similar to freshly baked goods - with notes of sugary dough coming through. Growers say this strain grows in a dense, bulbous structure with rich hues of purple and green camouflaged by dense, glistening trichomes. The Lava Cake strain is instantly recognizable by its dense, resin-rich buds that shimmer with a frosty layer of trichomes, often accented by vibrant orange hairs. The Lava Cake strain is one lusciously sweet variety that perfectly personifies the dessert category. With a deliciously rich flavor profile, deeply relaxing effects, and a family tree that resembles a high-end recipe from a Michelin-starred bakery, Lava Cake is a quintessential after-dinner treat.

Growing Information

Lava Cake flowers within 56 to 70 days (8 to 10 weeks indoors). For outdoor grows, harvest is usually ready between late September and early October. In controlled environments, Lava Cake can deliver more than 350g/m², and an attentive, experienced grower can even harvest about 500g/m². Outdoors you can expect 400–500g, ready at the beginning of October. This strain is quite beginner-friendly, especially for those with some experience, thanks to its feminized seeds and stable genetics. Lava Cake produces plants that are quite dense and bushy. They will thrive outdoors, where the sunshine can reach even the thickest of foliages. That said, they also grow well indoors and could benefit from some training. Grows like your typical indica. It produced a lot of resin under minimal stress, but the yield was just okay. I'd say it was worth it, though, because we pulled it in less than nine weeks. Regular trimming is vital as they tend to produce bushy branches. The Screen of Green (ScrOG) method is one growing strategy.
