Strain History of London Pound Cake The only certainty we have about the origins of LPC is that the strain was created by Cookies Fam. How or when the strain came to be, however, remains a mystery. By looking at its genetic lineage, however, we can get closer to pinpointing just what London Pound Cake has to offer. Genetic Lineage of London Pound Cake London Pound Cake is a hybrid strain with roughly 70% indica dominance. Created by the famous Cookies Fam collective of breeders and cannabis entrepreneurs, there is a certain degree of mystery regarding its genetic lineage. To date, the only known parent of LPC is Mr. Sherbinski's Sunset Sherbet. Sunset Sherbet is a very famous hybrid bred from GSC and Pink Panties. It produces between 18–24% THC and is beloved for its well-balanced high. Users often describe the effects of Sunset Sherbet as strong, euphoric, and physically relaxing, and its buds are treasured for their dense structure, fruity aroma, and beautiful colors (often bright green with light purple hues). London Pound Cake's second parent hasn't been revealed, but it's believed to be an indica. Rumor has it that the strain may be a particularly indica-dominant GSC phenotype, but there is no evidence to suggest whether this is true. Since the launch of LPC by Cookies, other seed banks have created their own versions of the strain with similar genetics. Physical Characteristics of London Pound Cake London Pound Cake has a fairly typical hybrid appearance. Its leaves are neither extremely broad like an indica nor very thin like a typical sativa. It has medium internodal spacing but can stretch considerably during the early stages of bloom. Once fully in bloom, London Pound Cake plants produce small indica-style flowers that quickly gain weight and density as they grow. As they approach their harvest date, LPC buds sport round, plump calyxes with bright orange pistils and a frosty layer of trichomes that gives the flowers a freshly glazed appearance. In cooler conditions, London Pound Cake takes on stunning purple hues that only add to the beauty of this strain. Properties and Effects of London Pound Cake London Pound Cake is very strong, producing 20–29% THC depending on where and how the strain is grown. Its complex aroma combines upfront notes of grapes and berries with sour lemon overtones and nutty, vanilla undertones. While the terpene concentrations of LPC can vary from one plant to another, growers report that the strain is typically rich in caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene. Despite its potent concentrations of cannabinoids and terpenes, London Pound Cake is known to produce effects that settle in nice and slowly. Users report a subtle euphoria that notably improves mood and positivity within minutes of taking a hit. Soon after, these effects pave the way for a deeply relaxing physical stone. While not exactly sedative, LPC is far from energizing, which is why users mainly recommend enjoying it in the evening or on days when you don't have to focus on being productive. Uses of London Pound Cake Given its balance of uplifting mental stimulus and physical relaxation, LPC is a nice mid-way point between extremely euphoric sativas and super sedative indicas. While everyone's experience with London Pound Cake is a little different, some recreational users recommend it for: • Socializing with close friends • Watching movies or TV • Listening to music • Going on walks • Sunbathing in the park or by the water • While doing light creative work Medical cannabis users are just as fond of London Pound Cake, finding relief from a wide variety of symptoms in the strain's well-balanced effects.
