Birthday Cake: Happy Birthday

Birthday Cake seeds grow into medium to tall plants that are vibrant in color. The leaves of this plant are long and purple, while the buds are similar in color. The purple hues make the green and orange of the buds pop with explosive color. The buds feature long, corkscrewing pistils that are red and amber. Nearly every inch of the plant, including the buds, is coated in crystal resin trichomes, making the plant look as if it were sprinkled with sweet sugar. When harvested, the buds turn into small, dense nuggets of high-THC weed. Breaking these nuggets apart releases that sweet and skunky scent long before you ever light it up. Birthday Cake was born by breeding two award-winning strains, making BC an award-winner by proxy. There are variants of the Birthday Cake strain that have won some pretty major awards in the cannabis world. Birthday Cake Kush won tenth place at The Emerald Cup in 2018.
