Black Forest Cake

Black Forest Cake is a sativa dominant hybrid (80% sativa/20% indica) strain with a character all of its own. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 12-18% on average, with 1% CBD. It is sold as feminized seeds, and it remains one of the most requested cuts in its class year after year.

The Black Forest Cake high hits fast and heady — a bright, clear-eyed lift that fuels conversation, ideas and forward momentum, with only a light touch of physical relaxation underneath. A soft physical ease settles in beneath the head high, smoothing out the energy so it never turns jittery or racy. These combined effects make Black Forest Cake a frequent pick among patients dealing with mild to moderate depression and chronic fatigue, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

Black Forest Cake has a delicious pine and sweet flavor that lingers on the tongue long after the exhale, with an aroma to match that grows sharper as the buds are broken apart. The smoke is smooth on the inhale with a sweet finish that builds the longer the session runs. This bud has compact rounded forest green nugs with cool blue undertones, thin orange hairs and a fine dusting of milky white trichomes.

In the garden, Black Forest Cake is a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them, flowering in around 8 weeks and performing well indoors or outdoors. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider Forest family — see Forest Fire and Forest Fruits for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
