Layer Cake
Layer Cake
Also known as: Kush Cake
Overview
Layer Cake is a slightly indica dominant hybrid strain (60% indica/40% sativa) created through crossing Wedding Cake, GMO (Garlic Cookies), Triangle Kush, and Skunk #1. Developed by Florida's Swamp Boys Seeds, the masterminds behind the mouthwatering Banana Puddintain strain, this complex hybrid has distinguished itself among cannabis connoisseurs for its exceptional potency and unique multilayered sensory profile. With THC levels ranging from 24% to over 32%, Layer Cake makes its effects known quickly and is often suggested for treating experienced patients.
The strain's appearance is particularly striking, featuring flat oversized forest green nugs with deep amber undertones, bright orange hairs and a coating of frosty golden amber crystal trichomes. Layer Cake produces small and dense buds that are nugget-like in appearance following trimming, boasting high trichome density and a thick layer of viscous resin. The strain is so rich in trichomes that many fans suggest working with the flowers over a tray to catch the heavy dusting of kief that tends to sift down. The complex aroma profile combines sweet dessert notes with savory undertones, featuring sweet yet spicy diesel taste accented by rich cheese and fresh woods, with a skunky and spicy overtone that turns heavy and cheesy with hints of diesel.

Growing Information
Layer Cake responds well in indoor and outdoor setups with a warm, humid environment and is considerably resistant to pests and mold, but regular pruning is needed to encourage overall health. Flowering lasts around 53-63 days with a relatively easy cultivation difficulty, though some skill is needed to see optimal yields. Indoor growers can expect 2-3 oz/ft² (10+ oz/plant), while outdoor yields range from 15-20 oz/plant with proper techniques in warm, humid conditions. The strain does best indoors and can be grown in roughly nine weeks, though it can be grown outdoors. Layer Cake is significantly easy to grow, even for beginners, offering uniform branching and reaching flowering quickly with high resiliency.
