Layer Cake is a highly popular and potent Indica-dominant cannabis strain. It is the result of a three-way cross between four different varieties, namely GMO (Garlic Cookies), Skunk, Wedding Cake, and Triangle Kush. The name "Layer Cake" is a nod to its rich and flavorful profile, reminiscent of cakes with layers of icing or filling.

The genetics of Layer Cake showcase the influence of its parent strains. By combining GMO, Skunk, and Wedding Cake, breeders were able to create the foundational strain known as Triangle Kush. Layer Cake takes its name from the concept of adding kief as a filler, implying an extra layer of potency and resinous trichomes.

When examining close-up images of Layer Cake, one can observe the dense, fluffy trichomes that cover the fan leaves and buds. These trichomes give the plant a frosty appearance, often obscuring the lime green and light-purple calyxes beneath them.

In terms of growth characteristics, Layer Cake can reach a height of approximately 30 to 78 inches, depending on whether it is cultivated indoors or outdoors. Indoor growers have more control over the plant's height through techniques like pruning and training.

In summary, Layer Cake is a highly regarded Indica-dominant cannabis strain resulting from a cross between GMO, Skunk, Wedding Cake, and Triangle Kush. Its name alludes to the layered nature of its genetics and the abundance of trichomes.
