Cupcake Strain Information
This phenotype can be too potent for entry-level users and is recommended for skilled smokers.
Cupcake Aromas and Tastes
A great deal of attention should be paid to terpenes secreted by this weed because they are responsible for the aroma profile. As the name suggests, this cannabis has a sweet aroma that reminds smokers of ripe berries. Terpineol makes it one of the prevailing scents. Notes of vanilla are also typical for Cupcake as affected by linalool. Carene adds a soil smell and a characteristic touch of earthiness to the palette.
Most Typical Strain Effects and Medical Uses
The effects produced by the Cupcake strain start with a euphoric boost and an uplift of spirits. Light tingles and pleasant numbing spread all over the body. Some smokers can experience a temporary burst of energy, but then, they will be lulled into a calm and relaxed state with subsequent sleep.
Due to a high THC level, consumers feel totally at ease. Since the produced effects are long-lasting, it makes Cupcake a perfect therapeutic remedy to cope with symptoms caused by chronic medical conditions such as arthritis, muscle spasms, and insomnia. It is an indispensable means for pain management.
Consuming powerful weed strains means there is a potential for negative reactions. The most typical unpleasant feelings can take the form of:
- Concern
- Headache
- Thirst and dry mouth
- Dry eyes
- Fatigue
- Low blood pressure
- Rapid heartbeat
- Heightened sensory perception
Growth Information
The Cupcake strain is simple to grow. Once planted, gardeners can expect medium-sized plants of 30’’-60’’ high with a standard flowering time of 52-62 days. In roughly 58 days, they are ready to yield (1-2 oz./ft2). The minty-green nugs are grape-shaped and quite big.
