Wedding Cake #27
A numbered phenotype of Wedding Cake with unconfirmed provenance and no documented breeder.
Growing, buying or possessing cannabis and seeds is legal only in some places. Check the law where you live before acting on this information.
Wedding Cake #27 is sold at retail under a number that suggests a specific plant selection—but no breeder has publicly documented a canonical #27. Multiple growers and dispensaries use that same number independently. The '#' designation is common marketing in cannabis, implying insider selection; sometimes it's real, often it's just a label. If you want a specific cut, ask the grower or retailer for its origin.
What is Wedding Cake #27?
Wedding Cake #27 is a retail name applied to flower sold in dispensaries and by cultivators in several U.S. states. It references Wedding Cake, the well-known Cookies-family hybrid. The '#27' suffix is a numbered designation—the implication being that a breeder or grower selected the 27th plant from a seed run and kept it as a distinct pheno.
However, no breeder has publicly documented a canonical Wedding Cake #27 with verifiable provenance. Multiple independent growers and retailers have used the same '#27' label for unrelated cuts No data. This is common in cannabis naming: the '#' designation is used to suggest a specific, curated selection, but unlike documented cuts with verifiable history (e.g., Chemdog '91, Gg4), the '27' label carries no standardized meaning. Two jars labeled Wedding Cake #27 from different retailers are not confirmed to contain the same genetics.
The parent strain and why #27 lacks origin documentation
Wedding Cake itself is widely reported as a cross of Triangle Kush × Animal Mints, popularized after Leafly named it Strain of the Year in 2019. That base strain is well-established in retail markets.
The '#27' phenotype selection, by contrast, has no published breeder record, seed company release, or company-verified cut documentation No data. Cannabis strain databases (including Leafly and Seedfinder) do not carry a distinct entry for Wedding Cake #27 with confirmed breeder attribution or genetic source. When a strain number circulates across multiple unrelated dispensaries and growers with no single point of origin, it typically indicates:
- Independent cultivators each running their own Wedding Cake seeds and selecting their own '27th' plant (coincidental labeling).
- A label applied for marketing appeal without connection to an original breeder selection.
- A cut that originated from one grower but spread and was relabeled by others as they acquired clones.
Without a breeder's documented seed run, lab batch record, or traceable cut lineage, there is no way to verify whether a jar labeled '#27' shares genetics with another #27 from a different source.
What to check if you see it for sale
If a retailer is selling flower as Wedding Cake #27, you can verify the actual product by asking for:
Certificate of Analysis (COA). A lab-tested COA will show cannabinoid content (total THC and CBD), terpene profile, and test dates [1]. This is the only objective data about the sample in front of you. A COA does not confirm the strain name or phenotype number—it confirms what's in the jar was tested. Understand what a COA includes.
Breeder or cultivator source. Ask the retailer: Where did this cut come from? Is there a published breeder record or company page? If the answer is "we don't know" or "it's from a clone we acquired," you have unconfirmed provenance.
Batch consistency. If you buy the same jar twice from the same retailer, do the batches have identical lab results and visual similarity? Identical batches suggest a consistent source; wildly different results suggest the #27 label is applied to different flowers at different times.
The number '#27' alone does not confirm genetics. The lab test and the grower's documented source do.
Strain naming and the '#' convention
The '#' convention in cannabis reflects the real practice of phenotype selection: breeders do run seeds, select individual plants, and number or name them for internal tracking. However, the '#' label is not a standardized registry. Two breeders can each call their best selection '#27' independently; five growers can each clone Wedding Cake and label their keeper as '#27' No data.
This differs from named cuts like Gg4 or Chemdog '91, which have documented origins traceable to specific breeders or growers (even when the full genetics are disputed). Wedding Cake #27 has no such documentation.
This is not necessarily deceptive—many growers and retailers genuinely don't know the full chain of custody of their clone material. But it does mean you cannot assume two #27s are the same plant.
Similar documented strains
If you are looking for strains in the Cookies family with better-documented provenance or wider cultivation records, consider:
- Wedding Cake — the parent strain, widely available and tested.
- Ice Cream Cake — another Cookies-adjacent hybrid with established retail presence.
- Wedding Cake #11 — another numbered Wedding Cake variant (similarly undocumented).
- Strawberry Cheesecake — a Cookies-line cross.
Most Cannabis retailers and growers operate with incomplete or informal strain documentation. If you prefer flower with verifiable lab data and clear sourcing, ask for COAs and cultivator information—not just a strain name.
Frequently asked questions
Is Wedding Cake #27 an indica or sativa?
Wedding Cake (the parent) is marketed as a hybrid. The indica/sativa label has been repeatedly shown to be a poor predictor of chemical composition or subjective effect Strong evidence [2]. See The Indica/Sativa Myth for detail.
What is the THC level?
Wedding Cake in general typically tests 18–25% THC according to retail lab reports. Wedding Cake #27 has no documented cannabinoid profile; check the COA on the specific jar you are considering.
Who bred Wedding Cake #27?
No breeder has published a documented creation record for the #27 phenotype. Wedding Cake (the parent strain) is widely attributed to Seed Junky Genetics / Kush 4 Breakfast.
What is the flowering time?
Wedding Cake cultivators commonly report 8–9 weeks indoors Anecdote. There is no peer-reviewed agronomy research specific to Wedding Cake or its phenotypes. Actual flowering time will depend on the specific clone, environment, and lighting schedule.
