Wedding Cake

Wedding Cake Cannabis Seeds by Royal Queen Seeds

Wedding Cake is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis seed strain from Royal Queen Seeds, bred by crossing Girl Scout Cookies with Cherry Pie. The result is a compact, heavy-yielding plant that delivers around 500g/m² indoors after just 8–10 weeks of flowering — and fills the room with cookie, pine, and citrus aromas while she's at it. If you want a proven genetic cross that performs without drama, this is it.

Why Wedding Cake Seeds Deserve a Spot in Your Grow Room

We've carried Royal Queen Seeds since the early days, and Wedding Cake is one of those strains that keeps coming back into people's carts for a reason. The genetics are rock-solid — Girl Scout Cookies and Cherry Pie are two of the most celebrated cultivars of the last decade, and crossing them produces a plant that's genuinely forgiving while still delivering top-shelf flower.

The indoor height range of 70–120 cm means Wedding Cake fits comfortably in an 80x80 tent without requiring aggressive topping. She does get bushy, though — that's the indica side talking. You'll want to defoliate the lower canopy around week 2–3 of flower to improve airflow and push energy to the top colas. Skip this step and you're inviting humidity issues, especially in smaller spaces. That's the honest watch-out with this strain: she's leafy. Budget time for maintenance trims.

Compared to something like Royal Gorilla from the same seed bank, Wedding Cake trades a few percentage points of THC for a much more manageable plant structure and a shorter flowering window. Royal Gorilla can stretch past 160 cm and take 10+ weeks — Wedding Cake finishes faster and stays shorter. If you're working with limited vertical space, Wedding Cake is the smarter pick. For growers chasing maximum potency above all else, Royal Gorilla might edge it. But for the balance of yield, flavour, and ease of growing? We'd reach for Wedding Cake.

Wedding Cake Terpene Profile and Flavour

Wedding Cake's terpene profile is where this strain really earns its name. Crack open a cured jar and the first thing that hits you is a warm, sweet biscuit smell — proper bakery-counter cookie dough, not artificial sweetness. Underneath that sits a layer of earthy pine and a bright citrus note that cuts through on the exhale when smoked or vaped.

The cookie-forward flavour comes from the Girl Scout Cookies parent, while Cherry Pie adds a subtle fruity undertone that rounds things out. Vaped at around 180–190°C, the citrus and pine notes come through more clearly than when combusted. If you've got a dry herb vaporiser, this strain is worth running through it at least once — the flavour separation is noticeably better.

At 20–23% THC, Wedding Cake sits in the upper-middle range. The effect leans towards physical relaxation with an uplifting onset — expect a mood lift that settles into a calm, giggly body stone over the course of an hour or so. It's an evening strain for most people. Not a couch-lock knockout, but not something you'd want before a meeting either.

How to Grow Wedding Cake Seeds

1. Germination: Use the paper towel method or soak seeds in a glass of water for 12–24 hours until the taproot appears. Plant taproot-down into a starter plug or small pot of moist soil, about 1 cm deep.
2. Seedling stage (weeks 1–2): Keep humidity around 65–70% and temperatures between 22–25°C. Use a gentle light source — a T5 fluorescent or LED on low power works well. Don't overwater; the soil should be moist, not soaked.
3. Vegetative stage (weeks 3–6): Switch to 18/6 light cycle. Wedding Cake responds well to low-stress training (LST) — gently bend and tie down the main stem to encourage lateral branching. This is the time to top if you want a bushier canopy for ScrOG setups.
4. Flip to flower: Switch to 12/12 when plants reach about 50–60% of your desired final height. Wedding Cake stretches moderately during the first two weeks of flower — expect roughly 30–50% additional height gain.
5. Flowering (weeks 1–10): Defoliate the lower third of the plant around week 2–3 of flower. Keep humidity below 50% from week 5 onwards to prevent bud rot. Feed with a bloom-specific nutrient regime and watch for calcium/magnesium demand — she's a hungry plant.
6. Harvest and dry: Trichomes should be mostly milky with 10–20% amber for a balanced effect. Hang-dry whole branches in a dark room at 18–20°C and 55–60% humidity for 10–14 days, then cure in glass jars for at least 2 weeks.
