Type and Genetics
DNA Cake by DNA Genetics is a predominantly indica hybrid. The overwhelming indica percentage of this strain results in a not very pronounced growth. However, its flowers are of extreme quality, distributing helically along its branches.
Its parents, Lava Cake and Gelato Sorbet, gift this plant a spectacular genetics, which generates phenotypes with the possibility of producing flowers in purple and blue tones.
Growth
DNA Cake by DNA Genetics gives rise to medium to low-profile plants, so outdoors the average height is around 200cm. That would be the maximum height of this plant, while indoors it can reach about 100 – 130cm.
This plant's open distribution and wide internodal spaces make it a genetic strain that is easy to grow and doesn't require much effort to yield large buds that secrete a large amount of fragrant resin.
Aroma and Flavor
The sweet perfume of the DNA Cake by DNA Genetics, is palpable anywhere in the grow room.
A creamy, terpene-rich balm such as δ-Limonene, α-Pinene, β-Myrceno, Linalool, and cis-Ocimene, which excite the taste buds with all the flavor of fruity, exotic, very sweet, oxygenated pastry product, lingering with a hint of diesel fuel.

La Huerta’s Opinion
DNA Cake by DNA Genetics is an interesting plant when it comes to growth. Its genetic profile makes it a dwarf from which emanates a surprising amount of resin, making it ideal for making concentrates and extracts.
It doesn't require much effort nor special cultivating skills, so it can be recommended both for experts and for novice growers.
To maximize the color changes in the buds, it is recommended to lower the grow's temperature during the final phase of flowering.
