"Papaya Cake is a sweet and fruity hybrid cannabis strain whose aroma perfectly matches its name. Bred from well-renowned strains and created by Nirvana Seeds and Seed Junky, Papaya Cake is nowhere near as popular as its parents. However, the smokers who try this fruity, doughy delight struggle to put her down, thanks to her rich flavours/aromas and strong stone. History of The Papaya Cake Cannabis Strain Papaya Cake, you guessed it, is another mouth-watering addition to the family of Cake cannabis strains (which encompasses favorites like Wedding Cake, LA Kush Cake, Jungle Cake, and many more). While there is some debate about who created this fruity dessert strain, most sources agree that it was first bred by Oni Seed Co. Oni Seed Co. is a fairly low-key breeder who's shared very little information about his/her story, though the brand has a strong following on Instagram, where it regularly announces seed, clone, flower, and concentrate drops. Oni Seed Co. was founded in 2017 and has created a number of strains that, though not laden with cannabis cups and other accolades, have become popular among the growers, smokers, and medical patients lucky enough to try them. Some other strains created by Oni Seed Co. include: • Tropicanna Cookies • Sudachi • Pie Zero • Banana Juice • Fire Dancer In recent years, it seems that Oni Seed Co. has focused on the creation of high-potency extracts from its growing collection of strains. Genetic Lineage of Papaya Cake Cannabis Papaya Cake was created from Papaya and Wedding Cake. Below, we'll take a closer look at both of these strains and which aromas, flavours, effects, and grow traits they may have passed on to Papaya Cake. Papaya, as her name suggests, is a fruity hybrid first bred by Nirvana Seeds and still one of the breeder's best-selling varieties. A mix of Citral and Ice strains, Papaya boasts sweet aromas of mango and melon with a peppery kick and syrupy finish. Her smoke is rich and full-bodied, combining upfront fruit flavors with complex notes of dark spices and a creamy undertone. Packing 18% THC, Papaya delivers an upbeat high that's uplifting, focused, and creative at first, but which gradually becomes more physical and relaxing as time goes by. Nirvana labels Papaya as "the perfect daytime smoke", and many smokers agree. Wedding Cake, Papaya Cake's second parent, is a more modern hybrid created by Seed Junky Genetics. While its genetic origins haven't been confirmed, one thing's for sure—Wedding Cake delivers a heavy-handed indica blow. Her aroma is rich and combines notes of sweet pastry with earthy undertones and spicy, cinnamon highlights. Her flavor is similarly sweet and earthy, and the effects of Wedding Cake hit within minutes of your first toke, leaving you in a happy, lazy daze that's best enjoyed at the end of a long day. Medical cannabis users report particularly enjoying Wedding Cake and finding relief from a variety of symptoms in the strain's heavy, relaxing stone. Physical Characteristics of Papaya Cake Papaya Cake is a hybrid strain that grows to small heights, develops few branches, and a moderate amount of vibrant green foliage. It seems to develop a strong central stem and thin leaves with roughly 5–6 fingers. Once in bloom, Papaya Cake plants produce tight clusters of small, slim triangular buds. Generally speaking, Papaya Cake flowers retain their bright green colours, though some may develop violet highlights along the edges of their thick, swollen calyxes. Papaya crosses are known for their excellent resin production, and Papaya Cake is no exception. This strain's small flowers come dusted in a thick, frosty layer of trichomes that extend through the nooks and crannies of even the tightest flowers. Properties/Effects of Papaya Cake Papaya Cake is a potent strain that, according to some lab tests, contains up to 32% total cannabinoids. It is predominantly rich in THC and THCA, though it also contains trace amounts of CBG and CBC/CBCA. On average, Papaya Cake contains about 27% total THC/THCA as well as a rich mix of terpenes, including myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, and linalool, which give the strain its dank aroma. Pop the lid on a jar of Papaya Cake, and your room will instantly be filled with thick wafts of ripe fruit (think melons, stonefruit, and bananas), laced with sweet pastry overtones. The aromas of this dense, tropical treat are somewhat reminiscent of a decadent Danish pastry, with hints of minty skunk. The flavours are similar, though more skunky and doughy. Given her rich concentration of cannabinoids and terpenes, Papaya Cake delivers a very strong stone that targets both the mind and the body. In smaller doses and users with a tolerance, Papaya Cake may deliver a kind of relaxed, grounding stone that can help release tension, stress, and anxiety, while still leaving you functional to focus on work, creative tasks, or chores. If you're an experienced smoker with a tolerance, Papaya Cake may make a good afternoon smo"
