LA Kush Cake

LA Kush Cake or Indica-Dominant Hybrid (~75% Indica / 25% Sativa) is a strain that typically contains THC levels between 20% – 25% (some phenotypes hit 27%+) and CBD levels ranging from < 1%. Known for its Sweet Vanilla, Earthy Peppermint, Spicy Diesel profile, this strain has a growth expectation of being Medium (3–5 ft indoors; 5–8 ft outdoors) in height, with a nutrient demand that is Moderate; susceptible to Nitrogen and Calcium deficiencies.

This Indica-Dominant Hybrid (~75% Indica / 25% Sativa) is of the Genetype: Photoperiod. The LA Kush Cake strain has 3 phases of the growing cycle.

The first phase is the Seedling Phase. Once you have decided to grow LA Kush Cake in either soil or hydroponiclay, the ph levels need to be monitored. The ph level desired by Indica-Dominant Hybrid (~75% Indica / 25% Sativa) is 6.0 – 6.8 and 5.5 – 6.2 hydroponically. During this infancy stage, LA Kush Cake needs to maintain a target temperature of 70°F – 85°F (Lights on) / 60°F – 75°F (Lights off) for 2 to 3 weeks. Once the seed germinates, it will sprout it's first set of round leaves, or the cotyledons. If you are able to maintain the target humidity of 45% – 65% RH, the iconic serrated leaves will just begin to show themselves. During this critical Phase 1 of the Indica-Dominant Hybrid (~75% Indica / 25% Sativa) growing cycle the plant is establishing a strong root sytem. Beginners often over water these fragile seedlings. Do not drown your seeds. You seedling LA Kush Cake needs care and gentle light. The recommended light cycle for growing LA Kush Cake is 18/6 or 20/4 for the first cycle, which should last .

The next is the Vegetative Phase. The LA Kush Cake will focus entirely on size and structural integity. The temperature needs also change for phase 2. If a target temperature of 65°F – 80°F is maintained and a target humidity of 40% – 50% RH is achieved, the Indica-Dominant Hybrid (~75% Indica / 25% Sativa) will grow stems, branches and plenty of large fan leaves. This Photoperiod is trying to build it's own solar panel of leaves to absorb energy. It is critical to maintain a proper light cycle of 12/12 for the entire phase 2 schedule. This consistent energy will help plant grow bigger without producing flowers, focusing it's energy on growing tall and strong. LA Kush Cake is at it's most resilient and may grow quickly. As phase 2 comes to an end, it may be topped or tied down, as it's training suitability is considered High (Responsive to Topping, FIM, and SCROG).

The most exciting phase, when growing Photoperiod is the Flowering Phase. The plants adulthood lasts . It is at this phase that the light cycle changes for the last time. LA Kush Cake will produce the most flowers when the light cycle is 12/12. Keep the temperature and humity controlled at 64°F – 75°F (Lower night temps bring out purples) and 30% – 40% RH (Crucial for mold prevention) so you can really watch this plant strecth and almost double in height. It will want to start producing early into the flowering process.

You will know the LA Kush Cake is ready when the white hairs (pistils) turn amber/brown and the resin glands (trichomes) look milky or cloudy, rather than clear. Cutting the plant down even a week too early can significantly reduce the potency and weight of your harvest. Patience in the flowering phase will provide the best possible outomce of Indica-Dominant Hybrid (~75% Indica / 25% Sativa) with a desired gorwth profile that will be:
Stout and bushy with robust stems; dense, frosty buds

Growers Notes: Extremely dense buds make airflow critical in late flower; watch for PM and Botrytis.
