What makes a hybrid strain so special? Hybrids are created through selective crossbreeding of different strains. Crossbreeding combines aspects of different strains, therefore cultivating a hybrid that may possess the best effects from each of its parents. This process can be used to isolate key flavors, as well as the different effects each parent strain has to offer.
Lava Cake Strain
As the name suggests, Lava Cake exhibits sweet, chocolatey, and fruity flavors thanks to its delicious parent strains, all the while averaging 20-22% THC, not to mention an aroma described as being “fruity” and “lightly minty.” Additionally, the strain is dominant in the terpene caryophyllene, as well as myrcene and humulene. The abundance of caryophyllene and myrcene adds to the sweetness of the strain while producing fruity and earthy flavors.

Lava Cake Effects
Boasting potentially deeply relaxing effects, Lava Cake leans indica-dominant. Furthermore, this strain has seen popular use with medical marijuana users who report relief of pain, stress, and anxiety. This likely won’t be a strain one consumes then goes about their day on, but rather an end-of-the-day wind-down strain. Consumers have reported euphoric body highs that calmed and relaxed their bodies and minds. If you’re looking for an end-of-day strain, consider giving Lava Cake a try.
“Makes you sleepy so it’s perfect for people (like myself) who suffer from insomnia, helps with stress and pain. One of my new favorite strains for sure.”
