What Does It Look Like?

Big, colourful flowers are what you should immediately recognize when you see Wedding Cake, along with brown/green leaves covered in tiny orange flecks.

The strain is most useful for those who simply want to unwind after a long day, however, it has been used for medicinal purposes too. If you’re looking for a strain that will help your anxiety or depression, you’ll need to look elsewhere. The reason for this is that the strain has a very high THC content, testing up to 25% in some cases! When you consume wedding cake strain you should feel relaxed, but you should also feel a boost in your mood.

As with all strains, there are a few downsides to be aware of. For example, wedding cake weed can often give the user a slightly dry mouth, so keep some water at the ready if you plan to use this strain. Plus, the high THC content makes the strain unusable for many people who aren’t as seasoned with their cannabis habits. The strong smells and flavors of the buds can actually hurt some people’s throats when inhaled, but you can use a bong to try and reduce the sting.  Also, be prepared to spend a bit more if you want to purchase the strain, as typically it will be quite expensive.

When you consume Pink Cookies/Wedding Cake, you should notice a very quick impact. The high will start right at the top of your head, and may initially surface as slightly frantic talking or fidgeting. However you should be feeling pretty giddy almost immediately, and as you consume more and get settled into the high you’ll feel a warmth envelop you. This “body high” could eventually leave you feeling stuck to the couch. Keep some snacks handy as it’s likely you’ll soon start to feel hungry.

Seeds, Yield and Cultivation

If you want to get your hands on some UK Wedding Cake, it’s fairly easy to find if you know where to look. Most of the time, you are likely to find a cross rather than a pure phenotype.

The most likely way to find a pure Pink Cookies plant is by purchasing seeds which are legal in the UK (be aware that it is still an offence to grow and cultivate in the UK). Seeds can be found online with a quick good search and there are hundreds of sites who sell them openly. 

It’s also difficult to grow it yourself, so if you’re a novice you might want to start with a different strain. If you’re comfortable growing your own then like most hybrid strains it is best suited to an indoor environment at around the 70-degree Fahrenheit rangeIT
