Cake Batter Strain<\/a> is a tasty and potent phenotype of Wedding Cake. A phenotype is the physical expression of a plant\u2019s genetic composition. For example, Wedding Cake is a hybrid of the strains Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) and Cherry Pie. The seeds of the female plants of Wedding Cake are considered phenotypes since they\u2019re an expression of its GSC and Cherry Pie genetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, things like environmental factors can cause phenotypic variations. As a result, strains with similar genetics can sometimes develop slightly different effects, flavors, and characteristics. That\u2019s why there are a few phenotypes with Girl Scout Cookies and Cherry Pie genetics including Cake Batter, Pink Cookies, Birthday Cake, and Cherry Cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cake Batter Weed Strain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a phenotype of wedding cake, Cake Batter can claim the mighty strains of Girl Scout Cookies and Cherry Pie as cannabis ancestors, so to speak. Let\u2019s see why this is so special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Girl Scout Cookies is a descendant of two classic, old-school strains that have influenced the development of many hybrid strains we enjoy today. When we say old school, we mean it. We\u2019re talking about – OG Kush and Durban Poison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OG Kush<\/a> is believed to be a hybrid of Lemon Thai, Chemdawg, and a Pakistani Hindu Kush. OG Kush\u2019s story goes back to the early 1990s, but Durban Poison\u2019s history goes back much further. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durban Poison is a landrace strain native to the area near the port city of Durban, in South Africa. The way its genetics adapted to the unique climate and terrain in South Africa gave Durban Poison its unique flavor profile and effects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durban Poison\u2019s unique sativa genetics have served a role in the development of many of today\u2019s popular hybrids. In addition to Girl Scout Cookies, its genetics have helped create famous offspring that include Cherry Pie, Durban Nights, Poison Kush, and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cherry Pie Strain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cherry Pie is a hybrid strain of Grandaddy Purple and F1 Durb. Grandaddy Purple (GDP) is an indica strain that\u2019s a cross of Afghani, Skunk, and Mendo Purps.

Afghani is another landrace strain with origins in the Hindu Kush mountain range that runs through Afghanistan and Pakistan. According to High Times<\/em> magazine, it ranks \u201camong Cannabis royalty.\u201d Famous offspring of Afghani include Cannabis Cup winners Blueberry and Northern Lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skunk #1 is believed to be a hybrid of the legendary landrace strains: Afghani, Acapulco Gold, and Columbian Gold. Skunk #1 is one of the most influential strains of cannabis since its genetics have been used to make many of the hybrids we enjoy today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

F1 Durb is another strain that includes the genetics of Durban Poison and a mysterious strain known as F1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cake Batter Strain Effects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cake Batter is a sativa-leaning hybrid<\/a> that can be an excellent day-time toke. That\u2019s because it’s known to provide a steady flow of energy that can enhance productivity – followed by a gentle comedown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some medical marijuana patients have reported that Cake Batter can help alleviate symptoms related to depression, pain, fatigue, bi-polar disorder, stress, nausea, and appetite loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cake Batter Strain Terpenes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, what is it about Cake Batter that gives it that potent and tasty reputation? Well, a lot of it comes down to its terpene and cannabinoid profile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past, it was thought that THC percentage was what determined potency. Through the years we\u2019ve discovered that it\u2019s actually the mix of the active compounds in cannabis, like terpenes and cannabinoids, which can enhance its potency, effects, and experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what are terpenes?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Terpenes are compounds naturally produced in plants like rosemary, lavender, curcumin, sage, thyme, and cannabis. In nature, terpenes protect plants from animal grazing and infectious germs. They also help attract pollinators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Terpenes are bioactive and depending on how they\u2019re consumed, could enhance your cannabis experience. For example, when combined with cannabinoids like THC and CBD, it\u2019s believed terpenes can help to unlock what is known as the “entourage effect.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entourage effect is a special synergy that can occur in the presence of the multiple active compounds in the cannabis plant. In other words, by striking the right balance of cannabinoids and terpenes for your endocannabinoid system, it could result in a cannabis experience with enhanced therapeutic potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that we understand the role terpenes can play in the overall cannabis experience, let\u2019s take a look at some of the terpenes in Cake Batter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beta-Caryophyllene<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Caryophyllene, also known as beta-caryophyllene, is another terpene that\u2019s abundant in nature – occurring in things like black pepper, hops, spinach, rosemary, cloves, oregano, cinnamon, and black pepper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beta-Caryophyllene Terpene<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s believed b-caryophyllene is the only terpene to interact with our endocannabinoid system through CB2 <\/sub>receptors found in our immune system. Because of this, it can help reduce pain and inflammation – without promoting a high sensation.1 <\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caryophyllene Terpene Effects<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Its ability to bind with CB2<\/sub> receptors helps give b-caryophyllene its strong anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties. Research also indicates that b-caryophyllene could be helpful in treating certain cancers and neurodegenerative diseases.2<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other possible benefits of caryophyllene include the potential to help:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
