Birthday Cake

Birthday Cake: Happy Birthday

Birthday Cake seeds grow into medium to tall plants that are vibrant in color. The leaves of this plant are long and purple, while the buds are similar in color. The purple hues make the green and orange of the buds pop with explosive color. The buds feature long, corkscrewing pistils that are red and amber. Nearly every inch of the plant, including the buds, is coated in crystal resin trichomes, making the plant look as if it were sprinkled with sweet sugar. When harvested, the buds turn into small, dense nuggets of high-THC weed. Breaking these nuggets apart releases that sweet and skunky scent long before you ever light it up. Birthday Cake was born by breeding two award-winning strains, making BC an award-winner by proxy. There are variants of the Birthday Cake strain that have won some pretty major awards in the cannabis world. Birthday Cake Kush won tenth place at The Emerald Cup in 2018. We fully anticipate Birthday Cake winning some massive awards shortly, it has what it takes to be one of the top strains of cannabis in the entire world. Its online resume is fantastic, with tons of good reviews from cultivators and users alike.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Birthday Cake:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Birthday Cake seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That euphoric, hungry, and relaxed feeling you get when enjoying the Birthday Cake strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at a massive 25%, the THC in this Indica-dominant strain is responsible for the relaxed and euphoric feeling you get when enjoying Birthday Cake cannabis.
