Layer Cake Strain Overview
An OG strain from 2005 bred by Swamp Boy Seeds, Layer Cake strain is said to be multi-purpose and retains plenty of characteristics from its parents – a Wedding Cake x GMO cultivar crossed with a Triangle Kush x Skunk #1 cultivar. With average THC levels skyrocketing between 24% and 32%, this unique blend is best reserved for experienced consumers and lazy evenings! Concealing numerous layers of top-tier effects, Layer Cake is often chosen by consumers for relieving anxiety, chronic pain, cramps, depression, stress, muscle spasms, and insomnia. Despite its heavy, intoxicating content, consumers describe the high as relaxing yet energizing (in small doses).
A mixing bowl of terpenes like limonene, caryophyllene, pinene, terpinolene, and linalool produces diesel, herbal, spicy, and sweet flavors with a hint of earthiness. The aroma is equally as delicious, blending skunky and spicy overtones with wafts of diesel. Depending on the dosage, you might savor this strain as a conversation starter or limb-numbing sleep aid. The oversized pickle-green nugs flourish with rusty amber hues, tiger-orange hairs, and a dusting of crystallized honey-gold trichomes.
