By crossing the illustrious Thin Mint GSC with Grape Pie you end up with this rich and flavorful strain. Cannarado Genetics is known for producing some of the most potent genetics currently out, such as Top-Shelf Cultivation’s Whoa-Si-Whoa.
The buds for this strain are incredibly dense and showcase some crazy purple and green coloration that may be partially hidden by super-dense trichomes. The aromas that come from this strain may range from earthy-sweet to floral and gassy. This is the kind of strain that you may end up making your nightly smoke. There’s something fresh, rich, and comforting about the aroma the Lava Cake strain gives off.
Looking at the nugs, it’s apparent that this strain may boast some potentially relaxing effects. The menacing purple color of the nugs, with the fiery orange pistils lending shocking contrast, this strain looks like it means business. When you crack one of the nugs open, you see even more deep purple hues, and a blast of sweet and musky terps. You’ll also notice a trichome-rich cavern of crystals within each nug that may make your fingers sticky if you handle it too much.
The Lava Cake Strain by CRU
Judging from the parent strains of the Lava Cake strain, it’s fair to infer that the dominant terpenes could be myrcene, beta-caryophyllene, and limonene. The floral sweetness of the strain on its nose implies the strong presence of myrcene. The doughy and musky gas that comes from the strain could potentially be beta-caryophyllene, which also interacts with your endocannabinoid system to produce potentially anti-inflammatory effects.
The beta-caryophyllene in tandem with the myrcene could explain why many users report that this strain may be highly relaxing. The limonene that it may have could explain the stress and pain-relief many users assert this strain may give off. Kick-off your shoes, treat yourself, and relax with the Lava Cake strain.
