Indica Dominant · Seed Junky Genetics
Wedding Cake
Wedding Cake, also released as Pink Cookies in some Canadian markets, is the Seed Junky Genetics cross of Triangle Kush and Animal Mints bred by Jbeezy in the mid-2010s. The strain became a California dispensary staple almost immediately, dominating Cookies retail shelves through the late 2010s before crossing into mainstream legal markets. Plants finish in eight to nine weeks with dense, frosty buds, a vanilla-cake terpene profile, and one of the highest trichome densities in the modern Cookies family. The high is heavy and physical despite testing as a hybrid, which is why most reviewers describe it as a late-evening strain.

Terpene profile
The aromatic compounds below shape how Wedding Cake smells, tastes, and ultimately feels in the body.
- dominant
Limonene
Uplifting citrus — typically associated with mood elevation and stress relief.
- secondary
Caryophyllene
Peppery and spicy — the only terpene that binds CB2 receptors, studied for anti-inflammatory action.
- secondary
Myrcene
Sedating, musky, herbal — commonly linked to couch-lock effects.
- minor
Linalool
Floral and lavender-like — calming, often noted for sleep and anxiety support.

Feed schedule for Wedding Cake
These EC and NPK targets are starting points calibrated for the strain's Indica lean and moderate difficulty rating — not gospel. Drop 15-20% off any EC ceiling on your first run and let the plant tell you where it actually wants to feed.
Suggested feed schedule
- Late veg
- 1.4-1.6 EC
- Early flower
- 1.5-1.7 EC, NPK 2-3-4
- Mid flower
- 1.8-2.0 EC, NPK 1-4-6
- Late flower
- 1.6-1.8 EC
- Final week
- Plain pH-balanced water for the last 7-10 days; light flush if you ran nutrients on the higher end.

What to expect through the grow cycle
Wedding Cake is documented with a 9-week flower and a compact stretch typical of indica-leaning structure. The visual below maps a documented 13-week cycle built from 4weeks of vegetative growth and the strain's published flowering window.
Published grow reports for Wedding Cake concentrate the most observational notes on the late-flower ripening window. This timeline is descriptive — it reflects what reports document, not a how-to. Actual week-to-week behaviour varies with phenotype, light intensity, pot size, and environment.
Phase details
- Veg (weeks 1-4)
- The documented vegetative period for Wedding Cake. Plants establish root structure, leaf canopy, and node count before flower triggering, with a moderate difficulty rating shaping how forgiving the early canopy work tends to be.
- Stretch (weeks 5-7)
- Wedding Cake is documented as having moderate stretch. Reports describe the plant roughly doubling in height during this phase as the indica-leaning structure establishes its final flowering frame.
- Bud sites (weeks 8-9)
- Pre-flowers form at the nodes and calyxes begin to develop. Grow reports for Wedding Cakenote this as the window where the canopy's eventual bud distribution becomes visible.
- Bud development (weeks 10-11)
- Flowers thicken and calyxes fatten through this phase. Documented Wedding Cake runs show the bulk of visible flower mass accumulating here, with resin production accelerating toward the end.
- Ripening (week 12)
- Trichomes transition from clear toward cloudy and amber. Reports for Wedding Cake describe the Limonene-led terpene profile maturing through this window, with aroma sharpening week over week.
- Final (week 13)
- Calyx swelling is documented as complete and the harvest window opens. Published Wedding Cake runs end here, within the 8-9 week flowering range reported by the breeder.

Common questions about Wedding Cake
Is Wedding Cake the same as Pink Cookies?
Yes — Pink Cookies is the Canadian release name for the same Seed Junky cut. The genetics are identical.
Why does Wedding Cake have such heavy trichome coverage?
The Animal Mints side of the cross carries one of the densest resin profiles in the Cookies family. Wedding Cake inherited the trait and shows it earlier in flower than most siblings.
