Lava Cake lab report

For Lava Cake, the 20% line lands at the center of the lab record: 50% of 535 flower tests met or cleared 20% total THC; the 25% line narrowed that to 9.3%, and the 30% line to 0%.¹

By state, Michigan is higher: 60% across 107 tests reached the 20% cutoff, compared with 35% across 58 tests in Washington; median THC was 20.93% versus 19.00%.¹ That difference blends each market's growers, laboratories and testing rules with any plant-level signal.

For Lava Cake, the only single THC number we checked is Leafly's 22%, which sits above the lab median of 20.00%; 29% of tests were at or above that mark.^1,2

Among the two published ranges, the 20–24% range from Weedmaps covered the largest slice of lab results at 36%, while the 15–18% range from AllBud covered 21%.^1,4,5

Those published figures are not batch documents; a jar's certificate of analysis is the result tied to that product.

For Lava Cake, the terpene lead is a practical tie in our dataset: β-caryophyllene led 41% of 366 terpene tests, β-myrcene led 41%, and limonene led 18%.¹

Leafly names caryophyllene as dominant, and the tests line up because β-caryophyllene led 41% of them.^1,2

Nevada accounts for 365 of the 366 terpene tests, so the split mainly describes flower tested there.¹

For Lava Cake, the nearest typical terpene profile belongs to Green Crack at 88%; Wedding Cake at 81% and Animal Face at 81% follow, while Durban Poison is farthest at 34%.¹

Their lead-terpene context is mixed: Green Crack is led by β-myrcene, Wedding Cake by β-caryophyllene, Animal Face by β-caryophyllene, and Durban Poison by terpinolene.¹

Method: for each strain, we take median readings for eight terpenes, express them as portions of that terpene subtotal, and measure how much of two mixes overlaps; identical mixes score 100. We compare only strains with 30 or more terpene-profile tests.¹ This is chemistry matching, not a forecast of how a strain will feel.

Among qualifying strains, by median total THC, Lava Cake lands in the middle third: its 20.00% median puts it 30th among 52 compared strains, between Mimosa (20.00%) and Strawberry Cough (20.00%).¹ Its share at or above 25% is 9.3%, ranking 31st.¹

The middle half of Lava Cake results covers 4.56 points, from 18.01% to 22.57%, the 13th narrowest span among 52 strains with enough data; that makes its results more consistent than most.¹

Comparing batch groups with different growers and states, for Lava Cake, the four qualifying labs spread out: among labs with 20 or more tests, Lab C in Washington had a 17.00% median and Lab B in Nevada had 21.24%, putting the lab-median distance at 4.24 points.¹

Those labs tested different growers' flower, so the gap does not prove any lab reads high. Lab letters are masks on this page: Lab A marks the highest-volume tester for Lava Cake, while the downloadable file gives the actual lab names.

Yes for Lava Cake: across 367 paired tests, the high-THC third, starting at 21.61%, carried 1.61% median total terpenes; the low-THC third, ending at 18.60%, carried 1.17%, leaving 0.44 points between the terpene medians.¹

The state check covered one qualifying state and held there: in Nevada, the low-THC group had 1.17% total terpenes and the high-THC group had 1.61%.¹ Total terpenes measure aroma compounds by weight; the comparison says nothing about effects.

Flat overall: Lava Cake moved from 19.32% median THC in 2020 (181 tests) to 19.88% in 2023 (51 tests), with only +0.56 points between those yearly medians.¹

Keeping the comparison inside Nevada keeps it flat, from 19.21% in 2020 to 19.43% in 2023, for a change of +0.22 points.¹

Years with fewer than 20 tests are left out.

Among 785 exact-name Lava Cake lab records, flower made up 72%; non-flower records were mostly shake and trim at 17%, then concentrates at 8.5% and pre-rolls at 1.5%.¹ Site calculations use flower only.

Longer names added 16 results, 2.0% of all results containing Lava Cake, led by “Charlie's Chocolate Lava Cake Flower” (2), “Vapen - Lava Cake Clear Concentrate EE - Bulk” (2) and “BULK - CR Shatter - Lemon Essence x Lava Cake” (2).¹ Extra wording and cross markers mean these may not be the same plant, so we exclude them under our name-matching rules.

For the Oct 4, 2026 Weedmaps pull, we counted 66 store listings within 50 miles of each market's center that carried Lava Cake flower; 12 of 27 markets listed it, placing it 41st of 58 tracked strains.³

Detroit was the only market with enough eighth listings: Lava Cake had a median exact-eighth price of $18.00, versus $16.00 for the median peer strain on those menus across 21 rivals, making it pricier there.³
