Meat Cakes by Noyes Boys Genetics
Unknown × Unknown
Meat Cakes is an indica-dominant cannabis cultivar developed by Noyes Boys Genetics. It is recognized for its intricate aromatic profile, blending savory and sweet notes, and for delivering a profoundly relaxing physical sensation, consistent with its indica lineage.
Appearance & Structure
Meat Cakes presents dense, compact buds that are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The flowers typically display deep green to olive hues, often accented with violet or plum tones, especially when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures. Contrasting orange or copper pistils add visual appeal.
The indica genetics contribute to a squat plant structure with short internodes and strong apical dominance, resulting in thick, spear-shaped colas. The buds are tightly packed and trim cleanly, with sugar leaves that can be notably resinous.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Meat Cakes is characterized by a complex layering of scents, often described as a fusion of savory funk, reminiscent of garlic or meat, with a sweet, vanilla-cake undertone. Initial impressions may include notes of gas and earthy spice, evolving into a richer, buttery sweetness.
Flavors reported for Meat Cakes include a blend of citrus, cream, diesel, earthy, herbal, orange, peppery, and sweet notes. This combination creates a nuanced palate experience that mirrors its intricate aroma.
Effects
As an indica-leaning strain, Meat Cakes is primarily associated with deeply relaxing body effects. Consumers often report a calming sensation that can lead to sedation, making it suitable for unwinding.
The strain's indica heritage suggests it may be beneficial for promoting relaxation and potentially aiding with sleep, though specific medical applications are not detailed in the provided notes.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific lab data for Meat Cakes is limited, indica-heavy dessert strains commonly exhibit THC levels ranging from 18% to 28%. Total terpene content often falls between 1.5% and 3.5% by weight.
Caryophyllene is mentioned as a prominent terpene, contributing to the peppery and spicy aromatic and flavor notes. The overall terpene profile is noted to be heavy on earthy, gassy, and vanilla-baked characteristics.
Cultivation
Meat Cakes is described as having an indica plant architecture, typically resulting in squat to medium height plants with broad leaves. It generally requires an indoor flowering period of 8 to 10 weeks. The strain benefits from careful defoliation and good air circulation, particularly in high humidity, to prevent issues like Botrytis in its dense flower structure.
Optimal environmental conditions, including stable temperatures around 24-26°C (75-79°F) and 45-55% relative humidity during late flower, are recommended for developing tight calyxes and preventing bud fluff. The resin-rich nature of the buds makes them suitable for concentrate production, with potential for good fresh frozen yields.
Origins & Lineage
Meat Cakes was bred by Noyes Boys Genetics, emerging from the trend of elite dessert and gas hybrid crosses popular since the late 2010s. The name suggests a lineage combining 'meat' or funk-forward genetics with 'cake' strains known for sweetness.
While the exact parentage is not widely published, it is speculated to be a cross involving a 'meat' line (like Meat Breath) and a 'cake' cultivar (such as Wedding Cake or Birthday Cake). This combination aims to deliver unique aromas and indica-leaning structural traits.
