LA Wedding Pop

Vanilla meets pepper and sage: that is how one strain description sums up the aroma of LA Wedding Pop, a cross of Wedding Cake and Triangle Kush BX2 from Seed Junky Genetics of Los Angeles. The breeder has thus crossed its own Wedding Cake once more with the Triangle Kush line, which accounts for half of Wedding Cake's own parentage. The sources disagree on how far the result leans toward indica or sativa.

Aroma and Flavor:

A US producer sets different accents than this strain description: earthy, with bright spruce notes and a soft fuel tone on the first draw, which then gives way to sweetness and citrus. A review of Canadian flower packaged in 2023 lists earth, herbs, pine and burnt rubber on the nose, and sweet-and-sour citrus and grape notes over a spicy, herbal base in the flavor. The same review describes small, rather airy flowers in olive green with dark orange hairs and trichomes with a violet shimmer.

The user reports mention vanilla cake and gasoline, as well as spicy pine with citrus, skunk with a little pepper, a rich kush smell and, in one case, berries. Some consumers found the flavor unremarkable or muted, and one batch was described as dry and low in aroma.

The strain description, the US producer and the Canadian batch data agree on caryophyllene as the leading terpene. According to the strain description, myrcene and limonene follow; according to the US producer, limonene and humulene.

Genetics and Origin:

Seed Junky Genetics works in Northridge in the Los Angeles area; a breeder under the name J Beezy appears as co-founder. The breeder's Wedding Cake came from Triangle Kush and Animal Mints and is also recorded in pedigree records as Triangle Mints #23. Animal Mints in turn descends from Animal Cookies and SinMint Cookies. The second parent, TKBX2, is a second-generation backcross to Triangle Kush.

Only regular seeds are on record from Seed Junky Genetics, and the strain is listed for indoor and outdoor cultivation. The sources differ on classification: a pedigree overview rates LA Wedding Pop as predominantly indica, the US producer as an indica-dominant hybrid, and the strain description mentioned at the start as sativa. Several consumers likewise describe the effect as sativa-like.

As a parent, the strain is documented in Frozen Yogurt Gelato by GemSearch Original Dank, a cross of Forbidden Runtz x Detroit Runtz and LA Wedding Pop x Tropicana Punch.

Effects:

The user reports center on a clear head. Consumers describe focus, talkativeness and lifted mood, several also creativity, euphoria, giddiness and drive for sport or work. Added to this is a physical relaxation that, according to several reports, does not end in couch lock. An arousing effect is also mentioned repeatedly.

Against this stand reports in which the strain mainly calmed and made users distinctly tired; in one case the effect set in quickly and was strongly body-focused. Others found it mild or were disappointed compared with Wedding Cake.

As side effects, the reports name dry mouth and dry eyes, occasionally dizziness, headache, nervousness and memory lapses. The strain description also lists paranoia.

THC Content:

The strain description gives 21 % THC and 1 % CBG. Considerably higher are 2 published batch figures that name no testing laboratory: for the Canadian flower packaged in 2023, 29.5 % THC and 3.36 % total terpenes were reported, and for a batch of medical flower from Illinois 29.96 % total THC. Values vary by batch, cultivation and phenotype.
