DNA Cake is a modern hybrid-indica cultivar derived from the genetics of Lava Cake. Providing a high yield, this variety is suited for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers should anticipate a moderate difficulty level and a flowering period lasting 63 days before the plant reaches maturity. The strain has already contributed to the breeding landscape, with Strawberry Gorilla X DNA Cake standing as a notable piece of its genetic legacy.
The terpene profile of DNA Cake is dominated by caryophyllene, followed by limonene, linalool, pinene, and beta-pinene. The chemical expression continues in descending order of concentration with humulene, myrcene, nerolidol, terpinolene, and bisabolol. Trace amounts of borneol, ocimene, gamma-terpinene, geraniol, valencene, caryophyllene-oxide, and camphene round out the complex aromatic composition. The interaction of these specific terpenes creates a nuanced sensory experience defined by this particular sequence of dominant and tertiary compounds.
This THC-dominant strain is recognized for producing effects that are relaxed, calm, and focused. Due to these properties, it is frequently utilized by patients seeking support for pain, stress, and sleep. Its primary therapeutic applications are anchored in this profile, providing a consistent experience that balances mental clarity with physical relaxation.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Russo 2011: local anesthetic equal to procaine; anticonvulsant via glutamate/GABA modulation; reduces morphine tolerance via multisite opioid/GABAergic/cannabinoid action.
