Irene x Wedding Cake sits between Irene Kush and Wedding Cake: also called Irene OG, a sour-scented hybrid out of the American Deep South kept almost entirely for its terpenes on one side, Triangle Kush over Animal Mints, with real Florida OG stock hiding under the frosting on the other. What CSI sell is access to their clone collection in seed form. The parents are the cuts themselves, not a line bred to resemble them.

Written this way, Irene Kush is the mother and Wedding Cake the pollen donor. Reversing a cross is not a formality; which plant carries the seed shapes what comes out of the pack.

Genetic Lineage

• Mother: Irene Kush. Irene OG - a sour-scented southern cut that growers keep for the nose rather than anything else. Given as traced to an unknown Emerald Triangle plant crossed to Hindu Kush, and widely taken to descend from California OG Kush. CSI recommend a nutrient-rich organic soil with good micronutrient content to bring the terpenes out; it is among the hardest clones they have reversed.
• Father: Wedding Cake. An Animal Mints cross onto Triangle Kush, which is why it has backbone as well as sweetness. That one comes from Triangle Kush x Animal Mints. Rated an easy plant for beginners and experienced growers alike.
• What the cross is reaching for. One side brings the structure and the other brings the nose. The plants worth keeping out of a pack are the ones that hold both rather than picking a side.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Expect the profile to move plant to plant rather than settle.

• The Aroma. Sour and penetrating from the Irene Kush side, against sweet vanilla and cream with a peppery, spiced edge that keeps it from cloying from the Wedding Cake side.
• The Taste. Sour over a kush base up front, turning to vanilla and cream turning distinctly tangier on the exhale through the exhale.

Where the parents disagree

• What to budget. The documented side, Wedding Cake, runs seven to nine weeks indoors. Set the room to that and let the plants correct you.
• The smell is a negotiation. Sweet, earthy and floral with rich earth and pine, plus a distinct diesel note that most og cuts do not have on one side against sweet vanilla cake over creamy earth with pepper and spice on the other. Neither wins outright in every seedling.
• Structure varies hard here. Resilient with a sturdy frame rather than delicate from one parent; short and bushy with minimal stretch and heavy lateral branching that needs support once flowers fill; dense chunky buds, dark to light green with occasional purple from the other. Plan the canopy for the taller outcome.
• They pull differently. Growers put Irene Kush at the potent, focused end of the OG family; settling and Wedding Cake at indica-leaning and even; relaxed. Which end a plant lands on is the main variable.

Cultivation and Growth Traits

• Plant Structure. The two parents disagree here, so plan for range. Irene Kush is resilient with a sturdy frame rather than delicate. Wedding Cake is short and bushy with minimal stretch and heavy lateral branching that needs support once flowers fill; dense chunky buds, dark to light green with occasional purple.
• Veg and stretch. Set the frame while it is cheap to do. Anything you fix after the flip costs you flower sites.
• Flowering Time. Wedding Cake runs seven to nine weeks indoors. Start checking trichomes a week before you expect to be ready.

Effects and Experience

• The Mind. Growers describe Irene Kush as the potent, focused end of the OG family; settling.
• The Body. Wedding Cake is reported as indica-leaning and even; relaxed, and that is the side supplying the weight here.

In the pack

7 feminized seeds per pack. Feminized seeds from Humboldt CSI. Humboldt CSI are preservationists before they are breeders - most of what they release is a clone somebody has kept alive by hand for years, put into seed so it stops depending on one grower staying in the game. That is what you are buying into here. Genuine Humboldt CSI stock.
