Indoors, Wedding Cake (Triangle Mints #23) returns roughly 1.5 to 2 ounces of dried flower per square foot, which works out to about 450 to 600 grams per square meter. A single trained plant in a 5-gallon pot under a 4x4 ft light usually finishes at 3 to 6 ounces after 8 to 9 weeks of flower. Push a longer veg cycle, a bigger pot, and a full canopy, and 7 to 8 ounces per plant is reachable. Sloppy canopy management or an early harvest will land you closer to 1 to 2 ounces per plant.

Typical indoor numbers

  • Per square foot: 1.5 to 2 oz of dried flower.
  • Per square meter: 450 to 600 g.
  • Per plant, 5-gallon pot, 4 to 6 weeks veg: 3 to 6 oz.
  • Per plant, 7 to 10-gallon pot, 8 weeks veg, SCROG: 6 to 8 oz.
  • Flower time: 8 to 9 weeks, sometimes 10 from clone.

Wedding Cake grows short and stocky with dense, trichome-heavy buds. That density is a yield advantage and a mold risk at the same time, so airflow matters as much as nutrients.

Prerequisites

  • Legally obtained seeds or clones, plus a compliant grow space for your state.
  • Grow tent or room with at least 6 ft of usable height.
  • 400 to 600W LED (or equivalent HID) per 4x4 ft footprint.
  • Inline fan, carbon filter, and one or two oscillating fans.
  • 5 to 7-gallon fabric pots and a quality cannabis or coco mix.
  • pH meter, EC or TDS meter, base nutrients, bloom booster.
  • ScrOG net, pruning shears, and a loupe or USB microscope.

Steps to raise indoor yield

  1. Buy seeds or clones from a breeder that documents the Triangle Mints #23 lineage, so you know what you are growing.
  2. Fill 5 to 7-gallon fabric pots with your medium and water them to runoff before planting.
  3. Germinate, then keep seedlings at 24 inches from the light and 75 to 80F with 60 to 70% humidity.
  4. Top each plant once above the fifth node to create two main colas.
  5. Veg for 4 to 6 weeks, bending branches outward every few days to widen the plant.
  6. Install a ScrOG net 8 to 10 inches above the pots and tuck shoots under it as they stretch.
  7. Flip to 12/12 when the net is about 70% full, since Wedding Cake stretches only 30 to 50%.
  8. Defoliate on day 18 to 21 of flower and strip growth from the bottom third of each plant.
  9. Feed a bloom formula and hold EC between 1.6 and 2.0 with pH at 6.0 to 6.5 in soil.
  10. Keep flower room temps at 75 to 80F days and 68 to 72F nights, with humidity at 40 to 50%.
  11. Check trichomes from day 56 and harvest when most are cloudy with 10 to 20% amber.
  12. Dry at 60F and 60% humidity for 10 to 14 days, then cure in jars for 3 weeks.

Where yields go wrong

Three mistakes cost most growers weight. The first is flipping to 12/12 too early, which leaves the canopy half empty when the stretch ends. The second is letting humidity climb above 55% in late flower, which invites bud rot in these tight buds and forces an early chop. The third is harvesting on a calendar instead of on trichome color. Buds pulled at day 55 look fine but weigh less and hit weaker than buds taken at day 63 to 70.

Wedding Cake Strain for Pain Relief

Environment targets by stage

  • Veg: 75 to 80F, 60 to 70% RH, EC 1.2 to 1.6.
  • Early flower: 75 to 80F, 50 to 60% RH, EC 1.6 to 1.8.
  • Late flower: 72 to 78F, 40 to 45% RH, EC 1.8 to 2.0.
  • Final week: plain water, no flush additives needed in soil.
