ZAMNESIA SEEDS - LAVA CAKE: SWEET, DECADENT BUDS PACKED WITH POTENCY
A cross between a highly sought-after GSC phenotype—Thin Mint—and Grape Pie, Zamnesia’s Lava Cake strain brings together some of the best traits of modern cannabis breeding. Developing a bounty of potent buds after a short flowering phase, this strain is primed for greatness from the outset.
Thanks to its indica dominance, Lava Cake is suitable to grow indoors and outdoors, with plants reaching medium heights with tightly spaced internodes that are easy to manage or manipulate. To maximise yields when growing Lava Cake indoors, we recommend pruning regularly and using LST to optimise light penetration into the lower areas of the plant (remember, this is a stocky, bushy indica). Topping and super cropping also work great on this strain, but should be executed with caution. Thanks to its stature, Lava Cake also works great in SOG setups when kept in smaller pots and spaced correctly. Outdoors, on the other hand, one or two topping sessions and some regular defoliation and pruning should be all the training it takes to achieve great yields.
In optimal conditions, Lava Cake can produce 450–500g/m² indoors and up to 550g/plant outdoors. This strain is fast-flowering, with its bloom phase usually lasting 60–65 days (8–9 weeks). If exposed to cooler temperatures during this period, Lava Cake might also develop some beautiful purple hues for extra eye candy.
But Lava Cake’s charm doesn’t end in the grow room; when dried and cured properly, its flowers are nothing short of exceptional. With an average THC concentration of 23%, Lava Cake’s effects come on strong and steady, relaxing the body and easing the mind. Even seasoned smokers won’t need more than a few tokes to get lulled into a deeply chilled and happy state. As such, Lava Cake is best enjoyed after a long day, on days off, or simply whenever you're seeking some solace and relaxation.
Lava Cake’s aromas and flavours also won’t disappoint. Its rich and complex terpene profile gives the strain a delicious bouquet that combines notes of sweet baked goods with subtle yet noticeable berry and grape undertones (all of which inevitably stem from its Thin Mint and Grape Pie parents). When inhaled, Lava Cake is smooth and sweet.
If you’re looking to grow a unique indica-dominant strain this year, Zamnesia’s Lava Cake is a great option. With its easy-to-manage grow traits and exceptional potency and flavours, this strain is suited to both beginner growers and seasoned, selective smokers on the constant search for top-shelf bud.
LAVA CAKE (ZAMNESIA SEEDS)
Genetics: Indica-dominant
Parents: Girl Scout Cookies (Thin Mint Cut) X Grape Pie
Flowering Time: 8-9 weeks
THC 23%
CBD Low
Everything looking good except a small calmag deficiency in the beginning of the week due to the unbuffered coco, i added some extra calmag and things look good now
Toped them after 8 sidebranches
Repoted all to their final home
As medium i decided to be abit more sustainable:
50% earth (peat-free Terra Aquatica Organic soil light-mix)
30% coco (biproduct from cocomat production & fairtrade from sri lanka, 36h buffered in PH 6.1 calmag solution)
20% perlite
+-15g of mykorrhiza for each pot
The terraaquatica soil already contains coco but i have no clue in which %, i assume my soil is now like 50% coco, 30% earth, 20% perlite
On top of the soil i put a layer of diatomaceous earth(to prevent my archenemies the thrips to stop hatching)
and on top of that another thick(2-3cm) layer of pure perlite to hold moisture
It was alot of work, it's summer so it's ok but i'm afraid in winter i'll just buy some pre-mixed stuff
The last harvest is still drying so they're in the garden till they can move into the tent
Will inspect them for bugs before moving them indoors...i saw some bug laying eggs on them just after 20min of repoting 😬
Upgraded lights with a new Sanlight Evo 4-80 + got me some bluetooth dimmers to regulate wattage, currently running at 80%
Will increase to 100% as soon as plants grow bigger leaves
Increased nutes to EC 1.3
An early update as i'm departing to spain tomorrow
Did some LST to increase light absorbtion and expose all branches to direct light. Also removed all big leaves to strenghten lower side branches.
Plants look much darker now after increasing nutes
I was away all week and it seems they got a bit dry but not much harm taken
I'll give them another week of veg
Increased nutes
Defoiled here and there and aplied further LST
Lights are running at 75% now
Did some more LST and defoiled here and there to remove shades from branches, lolipopped - nothing beneath the top canopy has any sidebranch now - removed everything
Plants grew quite stocked due to high wattage(425w) but they are very strong with thick branches...All stems are thick like a clipper lighter and probably have evolved a good mass of roots..
now with start of flower and incoming stretch i'll even increase lights to 100%(500w) to max photosythese in this phase till a bunch of flowers evolve, then i'll steadily turn down to 65% (325w) within 3 weeks - till harvest
Experimenting with light duration: Set lights to 13h and stretch started as planned so why not always use this extra hour for more photosynthesis?
Probably also depends on strains, some may not start flowering as easy as these 4 here
Also added 1ml of extra PK at the beginning of the week as i heard Prof.Bugbee talking about an abundance of P while initiating flower being very supportive...didn't hurt so far...
Can't wait for more stretch and more flowers next week!
Flowers are coming and stretch is in full effect
Will defoil all lower leaves by the end of next week as RH is getting high again
Lights are still at 100% they thrive under the 500w so far, soon i'll reduce it tho, probably by week 4 of flower
Defoiled all bottom leaves(like 15% of total foliage) and reduced lights to 80% (400w)
Next defoil is scheduled in 2 weeks
(I only defoil to reduce transpiration for lower RH)

Flowers are coming nicely, some plants you can see grow fatter from morning to evening 😊
Moved the lights higher to avoid bleaching
Added some more PK
More defoil in 2 weeks
Defoiled some more to increase airflow, next week some last major defoiliation to prevent mold as RH is getting high due to bad weather
Fighting it with a dehumidifier
Set lights to 75% (375w)
Last week of extra PK, next week only bloom fert
1 of the plants looks thick and juicy, sadly the other one looks like it got an N overdose in flower, seems like this pheno doesn't like much nutes, it has stunned flower growth and is way behind all other plants but still looks good :)
defoiled most bottom leaves to increase airflow
i drilled a hole in my housewall for an air exhaust + installed the dehumidifier to blow directly into the tent so now humidity is at a save range of 50-65%, hopefully no more mold problems now
just ordered a new growcontrol-pro with WiFi option and CO² adapter, can't wait to get my fingers on it 😍
1 plants looks very ripe, the other one will probably be harvested too early but it looks ok
fighting the high temperature and high humidity due to bad weather over here, trying to keep RH under 60% but it's hard as temperature easily goes over 30°C with my current dehumidifier...
buds evolve greatly -> fat, sticky and dense
just 1 more week till planned harvest! can't wait!
only clean fruits from now on!
Last week...just few more days till harvest..
Buds are almost done, some are looking good already but some still need some days...will chop next friday and trim the weekend after that
Only water + cleanfruits the last 14 days...they had enough nutes all grow
Had to remove few buds because of mold...but not too much...seems like the 3 weeks of rainy weather was too much in the mid-flower...sadly the buds that were already fat back then had to be removed...
great strain, it has an awesome scent and taste, average yield but really great buds! it was a pleasure to grow it, i harvested a bit early but due to bad weather and high RH i had to harvest
