About Pancakes
Pancakes was bred by crossing London Pound Cake with Kush Mints, combining the sweet dessert profile of London Pound Cake with the minty gas of Kush Mints. The result is a strain with a truly unique terpene profile — sweet maple syrup, butter, and dough from the London Pound Cake parent, layered over cool mint, diesel, and earth from Kush Mints. The buds are dense and round with deep green and purple hues, coated in a thick frost of trichomes. Effects are indica-dominant: a euphoric head rush that settles into deep physical relaxation without complete couchlock. Pancakes became a top seller in multiple states and a staple of the Doja Exclusive lineup.
