London Pound Cake

London Pound Cake

Light users and beginners better beware, and don’t be fooled by the sweet aromas of this strain! While London Pound Cake (sometimes also simply referred to as Pound Cake) has a decadent dessert name, it is known to be an extremely powerful and potent heavy hitter that will leave even the most seasoned of users couch locked, though admittedly without being overwhelming as it induces a sense of calmness. A cross between Sunset Sherbert and an unknown, mystery indica strain, the London Pound Cake is an indica dominant hybrid with THC levels that can soar as high as 29%! It packs a punch of flavours, offering a beautiful blend of nutty sweetness and a medley of fruits that is as delicious as it is potent! If you have trouble falling asleep and are seeking ultra relaxing effects, this strain may be perfect for you!

Effects

The high of London Pound Cake starts off as a calming and uplifting cerebral rush. Users will quickly also feel a sharpened sense of focus and clarity. As a stronger sense of relaxation sets in, your worries and any stress will quickly be washed away as you are swept into pure bliss! While this relaxation is not sedative or overwhelming by any means, both mind and body will enter a state of pure calm and users will quickly be lulled into major couch lock–possibly for hours! Some users have reported it to be beneficial in helping alleviate symptoms of chronic pains, though because of its uplifting effects, it is more widely noted to be helpful with mental symptoms of stress, fatigue, mood swings, depression and anxiety. Due to its relaxing nature, it can also help fight insomnia when taken in stronger doses and would be best suited for evening usage. 

THC Content

London Pound Cake weighs in at 70% indica to 30% sativa with THC levels that average from an already high 26% to a staggering 29%. Its breeder, Cookies Fam Genetics, keeps its genetic lineage on lockdown, though it’s widely regarded to be a child of Sunset Sherbert and another unknown indica heavy strain. Being a child of Sunset Sherbert puts London Pound Cake within the famous Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) family line, as Sunset Sherbert itself is the product of crossing GSC and Pink Panties. This parent gelato strain is also a 70% indica to 30% sativa hybrid, and offers between 15% to 19% THC levels as well as 1% CBN. Its sweet and fruity flavours is something passed on in the genetics of London Pound Cake!

Appearance & Aroma

The buds of London Pound Cake are densely packed and come in a spade-like shape. Its bright orange pistils are relatively thin and small, while its coating of frosty trichomes are amber in colour. The aromas and flavours of this strain are quite unique. It offers the classic cannabis scents of fresh earthy woodiness, herbs and spices. These familiar notes however are complemented by a sweet nuttiness and a mixture of strong, bursting fruit tones including grapes, berries and citrus lemons! This delicious medley of flavours can be tasted upon exhale along with a hint of refreshing pine!
