London Pound Cake #75
Also known as: LPC75, London Poundcake #75, Pound Cake 75, LPC 75
Breeder: Cookies (Jai 'Jigga' Chang)
London Pound Cake #75 is the 75th phenotype selected from a Sunset Sherbet x Nip OG cross by Cookies co-founder Jigga. A flagship Cookies cultivar prized for its one-of-a-kind bulbous bud structure, confectionary terpene profile, and showpiece bag appeal. The gas-forward dessert nose and uplifting-yet-relaxing high have made it one of the most influential modern breeding parents, with 89+ documented descendants on SeedFinder. The '75' designates the pheno number, not a THC percentage. London Pound Cake #75 is the definitive expression of Cookies' dessert genetics breeding program. The "#75" designation refers to the specific phenotype selected from the Sunset Sherbet x Nip OG cross—one of dozens evaluated, with this cut chosen for its exceptional combination of visual appeal, terpene complexity, and effect quality. Cookies co-founder Jigga bred it for excellence, and it has become worth "cross-continental flights" according to the brand's own description. The strain's cultural impact extends beyond cannabis cultivation into streetwear, music, and lifestyle branding through the Cookies ecosystem. The effect opens with a lifted, happy headspace that settles into deeply relaxed body calm—matching the indica-dominant genetics with a surprisingly uplifting entry before the sedation builds. Users report relaxed, euphoric, and contented moods. The distinctive bud structure is immediately recognizable: bulbous, almost alien-looking calyxes with unique color mixing rarely seen in other cultivars. LPC75 has spawned numerous crosses within the Cookies lineup and remains a benchmark for modern bag-appeal genetics.
Lineage & Genetics
Cross: Sunset Sherbet x Nip OG
Sunset Sherbet (Girl Scout Cookies x Pink Panties) contributes dense trichome coverage, sweet berry-citrus terps, and the Cookies genetic backbone tracing to OG Kush and Durban Poison. Nip OG is a proprietary Cookies indica line that adds gassy OG depth, structural density, and the menthol-musk undertone unique to LPC75.
Lineage Dispute
Some third-party sources list the second parent as 'unknown indica' because Nip OG is a proprietary Cookies breeding line that has never been publicly characterized. However, Cookies' official strain page and Cookies Massachusetts both explicitly name Nip OG as the second parent.
Terpene Profile
Caryophyllene — Spicy, peppery warmth
Limonene — Bright citrus, lemon zest
Myrcene — Earthy, herbal, musky foundation
Linalool — Floral, lavender sweetness
Humulene — Woody, hoppy, earthy
Aroma: Gas-forward with layers of sweet blueberry, lemongrass cake, and a mentholated musk. Intensely loud nose that fills a room — growers report heavy odor from mid-flower onward requiring carbon filtration.
Flavor: Opens with a refreshing menthol coolness, deepens into rich OG musk and earthy gas, then finishes with sweet gassy fruit, vanilla frosting, and creamy berry. The lemongrass-cake note lingers on the exhale.
Effects & Experience
Onset: Calming mental clarity within minutes — a lifted, focused headspace that clears distractions without racing thoughts.
Progresses from uplifting cerebral euphoria into a relaxing body high with mild couch-lock. Not heavily sedating — offers a balanced blend of mental clarity and physical relaxation. Happy, content mood throughout.
Duration: Medium-long; the mental lift fades gradually into a steady body calm that can last 2–3 hours.
Commonly Reported Uses
Grower's Notes
London Pound Cake #75 (LPC75) is an indica-dominant hybrid (approximately 70% indica / 30% sativa) bred by Cookies co-founder Jigga, crossing Sunset Sherbet with Nip OG. It stands as one of Cookies' flagship genetics—a showpiece cultivar prized for its extraordinary bag appeal, dessert-forward terpene profile, and potent body-relaxing effects. THC typically ranges 20-29% with trace CBD around 0.1-0.4%.
Growth Structure and Training
The plant develops a medium stature with tight internodal spacing and stout, sturdy branches. This compact architecture produces dense bud sites stacked along every branch—the tight node spacing means cola development starts close to the main stem and builds outward. The stretch during early flower is moderate (1.5-2x) and highly manageable in most indoor spaces.
Growth Structure and Training
LPC75 accepts training readily. Topping once or twice during veg encourages lateral growth and creates multiple even cola sites. LST (Low Stress Training) works excellently with this strain's naturally pliable branches. The moderate internodal spacing makes defoliation, pruning, and training straightforward without requiring extreme measures. For production grows, a light SCROG net provides support for the dense buds while maintaining the naturally compact structure.
Vegetative conditions
18/6 light at 400-600 PPFD, temperatures 72-78F, humidity 55-65%. Feed at moderate levels—LPC75 has standard NPK needs without being particularly heavy or light. EC of 1.2-1.6 during veg is appropriate. The plant shows good vigor in veg with consistent, predictable growth.
Growth Structure and Training
Transition to 12/12 triggers the moderate stretch over 10-14 days. LPC75 begins setting flower sites quickly—within the first week of 12/12, pre-flower formation is visible. Begin bloom nutrients at flip, emphasizing Cal-Mag supplementation in mid-flower when nutrient demand peaks. EC can reach 1.6-2.0 during weeks 3-6 without stress. The plant's Sherbet lineage contributes efficiency in nutrient uptake.
Flowering Time and Harvest
Flowering time is 8-9 weeks (56-63 days). Buds develop their distinctive structure early: bulbous, rounded calyxes that stack into dense, heavy colas. Resin production begins early and intensifies through week 8, eventually crusting sugar leaves with a thick trichome layer. The natural coloration is green with purple accents—dropping nighttime temperatures to 60-65F during the final 2 weeks intensifies the purple, blue, and occasional pink hues that give LPC75 its extraordinary visual appeal.
Critical environmental management during flower
temperatures 68-75F daytime / 60-68F nighttime, humidity MUST stay at 40-50%. The extremely dense bud structure creates internal moisture pockets that are prime candidates for botrytis. Defoliate at the flip and again at day 21, targeting large fan leaves that block airflow to bud sites. Thin the canopy interior aggressively—light and air penetration through the dense canopy is the primary cultivation challenge with this strain.
Bud structure at harvest is stunning
bulbous green and purple buds with shades of blue, hidden behind vivid white and orange pistils, all coated in a thick layer of milky-white trichomes. The visual presentation is one-of-a-kind and commands premium pricing in every market.
Bud Structure and Trichomes
The terpene profile is gas-forward with sweet blueberry, lemongrass cake, menthol, and musk—finishing with a sweet gassy fruit note. Dominant terpenes are beta-caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene with secondary linalool and humulene. Dry slowly for 12-14 days at standard conditions, then cure 3-4 weeks minimum. The cream/vanilla/berry layers develop complexity through extended curing.
Yield
Yields are solid for a bag-appeal strain: approximately 500 g/m² indoors when properly trained, with some sources reporting 1.6-2.0 lbs/light under optimized LED cultivation. Outdoors, plants can produce up to 700 g each in full sun with adequate space.
