Strawberry Cake CBD at a Glance
The key numbers, straight from the official datasheet.
| Type | CBD Feminized (photoperiod) |
| Lineage | Secret (undisclosed by the breeder) |
| Phenotype | 50% Indica / 50% Sativa |
| CBD / THC | 16% – 18% CBD, 0.3% – 0.5% THC |
| Climate | Temperate |
| Height | Up to 4.92 ft (1.5 m) |
| Flowering time | 8 – 10 weeks after the flip |
| Harvest month | October |
| Yield indoor | 1.31 – 1.64 oz/ft² (400 – 500 g/m²) |
| Yield outdoor | 15.87 – 19.4 oz/plant (450 – 550 g/plant) |
| Effects | Relaxed, happy, deeply soothing |
| Flavors | Fruity, sweet |
Those yields deserve a second look in context: 400-500 g/m² indoors and up to 550 grams per outdoor plant are numbers many THC strains would be glad to claim, delivered here by a cultivar most people grow for flavor and balance rather than bragging rights. Nothing about growing CBD flower means settling for less weight.
Promos & Deals
Getting Strawberry Cake CBD Started
Germinate at 70-79°F in paper towels or starter plugs; expect taproots within 24-72 hours. As a feminized photoperiod plant it transplants easily, so start small and pot up to a 3-5 gallon final container. Every seed grows into a flowering female, which keeps the plant count predictable from day one.
Veg under 18 hours of light at 68-81°F with 50-60% humidity. The 50/50 genetics express as genuinely balanced growth: moderate stretch, steady side branching and no surprises, which is exactly what you want in a first grow. Three to four weeks of veg fills a standard tent nicely.
Outdoors in a temperate climate, plant after the last frost in your sunniest spot. The October finish is comfortably early enough to dodge the worst autumn weather in most regions.
Feeding Strawberry Cake CBD by EC
This cultivar eats moderately and forgives hesitation, but it still rewards precision. Feed by EC, keep pH at 6.0-6.5 in soil, and step up only when the plant shows it wants more.
| Stage | Weeks | EC | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seedling | 1-2 | 0.4 – 0.6 | Plain water or very light feed |
| Vegetative | 3-4 | 0.8 – 1.2 | Nitrogen-leaning base nutrients |
| Preflower | Flip + 1-2 | 1.2 – 1.4 | Transition feed through the stretch |
| Bloom | Flip + 3-8 | 1.4 – 1.6 | Bloom base, add PK booster |
| Flush | Final 1-2 | 0.0 – 0.4 | Plain pH-corrected water |
Hold the bloom EC in the middle of the range rather than the ceiling; overfeeding shows up faster in this cultivar’s leaf tips than in its buds. Cannabinoid production peaks in the final three weeks regardless of how hard you push nitrogen, so late-bloom discipline costs you nothing and protects the fruity finish.
Flush thoroughly at the end. Strawberry-sweet terpenes are delicate, and a clean finish is what lets them lead.
Training Strawberry Cake CBD and Flipping to 12/12
Top once above the fourth node in week 2 or 3 of veg, then shape the plant with low-stress training into an even, open canopy. The balanced hybrid structure takes training gracefully; branches bend without protest and recover fast, another point in the beginner-friendly column.
Flip to 12/12 when the canopy covers about two thirds of the footprint. The stretch is moderate and the 8-10 week bloom proceeds on schedule, with dense mid-size colas forming along every trained branch. Drop humidity to 40-45% once flowers stack and keep air circulating; the buds are compact enough to appreciate the help in a damp October.
Harvesting and Curing Strawberry Cake CBD
Check trichomes from week 7 of flower. For CBD-forward cultivars, harvest at full cloudy with minimal amber: cannabinoid content is at its peak and the fresh berry character stays bright. Pistil color is a rough guide at best here, so trust the loupe over the calendar.
Dry for 10-14 days at 59-68°F and around 55% humidity, then cure in glass for at least two weeks with daily burping early on. The strawberry note is shy in freshly dried flower and unmistakable after two to three weeks in the jar, layered over a warm, sweet cake-batter base that explains the name better than any description.
What to Do With Your Trim
Trim from a 16-18% CBD plant is some of the most useful byproduct in the garden. Infuse it into oil or butter for CBD-rich edibles, wash it into bubble hash, or sift it for kief; with THC this low, the results stay as clear-headed as the flower. Process within a few weeks of harvest while the berry aroma is at its best.
Aroma, Flavor and Terpenes
The datasheet lists two terpenes, and they split the work neatly. Myrcene carries the fruit: that ripe, juicy depth that reads as strawberry once the cure matures, and the gentle earthiness underneath it. Caryophyllene provides the counterweight, a warm, peppery spice that keeps all the sweetness from becoming one-note.
The cake side of the name, the soft, baked sweetness in the background, is the cultivar’s own signature rather than any single compound, and it emerges gradually in the jar. Short terpene list, long finish: by week three of the cure this smells like dessert first and cannabis second, which is precisely its charm.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Strawberry Cake CBD the same as the Strawberry Cake strain?
It is the CBD counterpart. Where typical Strawberry Cake flower is THC-dominant, this version from Blimburn Seeds carries 16-18% CBD with only 0.3-0.5% THC, keeping the strawberry-dessert flavor profile while removing nearly all psychoactivity. The exact lineage is kept secret by the breeder.
Does Strawberry Cake CBD get you high?
No. With THC at just 0.3-0.5%, it produces no meaningful intoxication. The experience is relaxed, happy and deeply soothing while staying completely clear-headed, which is exactly why high-CBD cultivars like this one exist.
Is Strawberry Cake an indica or a sativa?
This CBD version is a perfect 50/50 hybrid. The balance shows in the garden as moderate height with steady branching, and in the flower as an even, functional profile that neither races nor weighs you down.
How long does Strawberry Cake CBD take to flower?
Flowering runs 8-10 weeks after the switch to 12/12 indoors, quick for a plant with this much cannabinoid content. Outdoors in a temperate climate it finishes in October, early enough to avoid serious autumn weather in most regions.
How much does Strawberry Cake CBD yield?
Indoor growers harvest 1.31-1.64 oz/ft² (400-500 g/m²), while outdoor plants deliver 15.87-19.4 oz (450-550 g) each. Solid, dependable numbers that match or beat many THC strains of similar size.
What does Strawberry Cake CBD taste like?
Ripe strawberry over a sweet, baked-dessert base, with a faint peppery warmth on the exhale. The fruit deepens notably through the cure, reaching its best around week three in glass jars.
