Packed with a generous portion of THC, the weed variant will leave you with pleasant sensations all around. In addition, the strain is well balanced, so while it relaxes your body and mind, you’ll still be able to get up and perform a creative task or two.

Below we discuss the profile, flavors, and effects of the Purple Cake strain. We highlight some of its medicinal benefits and even provide expert tips on how to grow this weed variant successfully. 

Let’s get a taste of this decadent strain!

Purple Cake strain

The Purple Cake strain is often confused for similar marijuana options like the Purple Cake Batter strain. Multiple variants claim the same name, but we’ll concentrate on the one defined by Mad Scientist Genetics in this review.

Purple Cake effects 

The effects of the Purple Cake strain start with a slight brain buzz that relaxes the mind and induces positive thoughts. After two or three tokes, you’ll drift off into a hazy euphoric bubble. The effects hit your body shortly after, and a warm, calm sensation engulfs you. 

Some tokers use this relaxed mood to listen to music, paint or engage in creative activities that don’t require much physical energy.

If you suffer from stress or anxiety, the Purple Cake is sure to relieve you of these tensions, even if only temporarily. There are also widely reported medical benefits that assist with the following:

• Stress 
• Depression
• Mood disorders 
• Paranoia 
• Anxiety
• Pain 

Tokers should also be wary of potential negative side-effects such as dehydration, dry eyes, dry mouth, headaches, and dizziness. Many report that you can avoid these issues by keeping a couple of drinks nearby and staying hydrated when enjoying the Purple Cake strain.

Purple Cake flavors   

The sugary scents of the Purple Cake strain translate into the flavors, which are slightly complex. When inhaled, you can detect the juicy fruitiness of grape and lemon. 

As you exhale, the taste of these dominant fruits becomes more subtle and gives way for a softer and sweeter vanilla cake flavor. The blend of citrus and vanilla is surprisingly complementary, and the taste lingers on your palate for a few moments after your last toke.

Swirling the smoke around in your mouth for a few seconds enhances the sweetness of the exhale. 

Purple Cake grow information

The Purple Cake strain is best suited to greenhouse growing. Some growers that opt to cultivate it outdoors run the risk of losing the crop. The variant doesn’t do well in cold or rainy weather.

To successfully cultivate this marijuana variant indoors, we recommend using hydroponics and low-stress training. Another indoor method that also works is using coco coir. You should also supplement your crops with cannabis nutrients to boost their health. 

The Purple Cake strain grows relatively tall, and the foliage can get quite thick. These features are the reason that the weed variant is best suited to growers with some experience. It requires regular pruning. 

If you don’t maintain your crops properly, they become vulnerable to mold and attacks from pests like spider mites and whiteflies. These unwanted invaders are small but a severe threat to your plants. 

Whiteflies typically hide on the bottom of the leaves and feast on them. Unfortunately, these pests also spread diseases and, if not caught early enough, can destroy your entire crop. 

When you cultivate Purple Cake strain plants, you need to strictly control the temperature and keep it between 65–75℉. You also need to regulate the humidity levels in your grow area carefully. A range between 45–55% is best.

Purple Cake genetics 

The Purple Cake genetics aren’t confirmed, but many tokers agree that the lineage includes Purple Kush and Granddaddy Purple strains. The mix between these is then blended with Cheese Cake strain to make Purple Cake strain.

Other weed variants in the Purple Cake’s lineage includes:

• Hindu Kush
• Purple Afghani
• Skunk
• Confidential Cheese
• Girl Scout Candy
• Durban Poison
• Girl Scout Cookies
