Truffle Cake
Truffle Cake
Overview
Truffle Cake is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by In House Genetics through crossing Gorilla Butter F2 (specifically the 'White Truffle Cut') with Pancakes (a cross of London Pound Cake #75 and Kush Mints #11). This premium strain represents sophisticated cannabis breeding, combining the potent genetics of Gorilla Glue #4 and Peanut Butter Breath from its Gorilla Butter lineage with the dessert-inspired qualities of its Pancakes parent. The strain has gained significant popularity in the cannabis community for its exceptional visual appeal, featuring dense, fluffy olive-green buds adorned with thin orange hairs and a generous coating of purple-tinted trichomes that create a frosty, luxurious appearance.
Truffle Cake is renowned for its complex dessert-inspired flavor profile that perfectly matches its name, delivering sweet vanilla cake notes layered with fruity berry undertones, hints of chestnut and butter, and subtle sour citrus accents. The strain's aroma is equally captivating, presenting rich berry cake overtones complemented by sugary vanilla sweetness and touches of pine. With THC levels typically ranging from 20-28%, this potent hybrid offers experienced users a well-balanced experience that begins with an uplifting cerebral euphoria before transitioning into full-body relaxation, making it ideal for managing stress, anxiety, and depression while maintaining mental clarity.

Growing Information
Truffle Cake cultivation requires moderate to intermediate growing experience and presents a rewarding challenge for cultivators. The strain has a flowering time of 60-75 days (approximately 8-10 weeks), with most sources citing 70 days as optimal. It can be successfully grown indoors, outdoors, or in greenhouse environments, demonstrating good adaptability. Indoor cultivation keeps plants compact and manageable for smaller spaces, yielding 400-450 grams per square meter (14-16 ounces). Outdoor cultivation allows plants to reach medium height and can produce 283-425 grams per plant (10-15 ounces), with harvest typically occurring in early to mid-October. The strain prefers warm, sunny climates with temperatures between 70-80°F (21-27°C) during the day and slightly cooler at night. Humidity should be maintained at 40-50% during vegetative growth, decreasing to 30-40% during flowering to prevent mold. Regular pruning and training techniques are recommended to manage height and promote optimal bud development. Plants produce dense, resinous buds with high trichome production, requiring careful monitoring of trichome development for optimal harvest timing.
