Wedding Cake growing under optimised conditions

Wedding Cake Seeds & Genetics

Genetics: Girl Scout Cookies × Cherry Pie | Breeder: Seed Junky Genetics | Type: Hybrid (Indica-dominant)

Wedding Cake (also known as Pink Cookies or Triangle Mints #23) was created by Seed Junky Genetics through a cross of Girl Scout Cookies and Cherry Pie. Its parent genetics give it extraordinary flavour complexity — vanilla sweetness layered over tangy cherry with earthy undertones. When buying Wedding Cake seeds, look for authenticated genetics from Seed Junky or licensed breeders. Several phenotypes exist with slight flavour and effect variations. For growing basics, visit our beginner cannabis growing guide. Seeds germinate in 3–7 days and produce vigorous seedlings.

Indoor vs Outdoor Growing Wedding Cake

Wedding Cake excels in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be managed precisely. Its bushy structure responds very well to SCROG training — see our SCROG guide. LED lighting suits Wedding Cake well, reducing heat stress and encouraging dense trichome development. Outdoors, Wedding Cake performs in warm, dry climates and finishes in late September to mid-October. It is not ideal for humid or rainy outdoor environments due to bud density. Consult our outdoor growing guide for climate considerations.

Nutrients & Feeding Schedule for Wedding Cake

Wedding Cake has a high nutrient demand, particularly in the middle and late flowering stages. Feed with nitrogen-dominant nutrients in veg (EC 1.2–1.8) and switch decisively to bloom formula as flowering begins. During peak flowering (weeks 4–7), push EC to 1.8–2.2 with strong phosphorus and potassium. CalMag supplementation is important throughout. Flush for 10–14 days before harvest to ensure clean-tasting final buds. Our nutrients guide has a full week-by-week feeding chart.

Common Problems & Solutions When Growing Wedding Cake

Wedding Cake is susceptible to bud rot (botrytis) due to its exceptionally dense cola structure. Airflow is critical — use oscillating fans and maintain RH below 45% from week 5 of flowering. Overfeeding causes nutrient burn; start at 75% of recommended doses and increase based on plant response. Wedding Cake can exhibit magnesium deficiency in late flower — add CalMag if interveinal yellowing appears on older leaves.

Harvest, Drying & Curing Wedding Cake

Wedding Cake should be harvested when 80% of trichomes are milky white with 15–25% amber for its classic relaxed-euphoric profile. Dense buds require careful drying — hang with adequate spacing between branches. Dry for 10–14 days at 18–21°C with 50–60% RH. Cure in glass jars for at least 4 weeks, burping daily in the first two weeks. The vanilla-tangy flavour becomes significantly richer after proper curing.

Frequently Asked Questions — Growing Wedding Cake

Is Wedding Cake easy to grow?

Wedding Cake is moderately difficult. It is a vigorous grower but sensitive to overfeeding and high humidity, requiring attentive environmental management.

How long does Wedding Cake flower?

Wedding Cake flowers in 7–9 weeks indoors — on the faster side for such a high-quality, yield-heavy strain.

What yield does Wedding Cake produce?

Wedding Cake is a high-yielding strain — expect 500–600g/m² indoors under quality LED or HPS lighting with proper training.

What does Wedding Cake taste like?

Wedding Cake has a rich vanilla and tangy-sour flavour profile with earthy undertones. Proper curing is essential to develop its full flavour complexity.

Does Wedding Cake grow purple?

Yes — Wedding Cake frequently produces purple and pink hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during the final weeks of flowering.

Is Wedding Cake suitable for beginners?

Wedding Cake is better suited to intermediate growers due to its sensitivity to overfeeding and humidity. Beginners should master simpler strains first.
