Bakers Dozen strain guide
Bakers Dozen is a balanced hybrid from Exotic Genetix, bred from Milk & Cookies and Rainbow Chip. True to the bakery name, people describe a sweet, sugary smell with vanilla and nutty notes, and a feel that starts focused and turns relaxed. It's a smaller strain, so there isn't much written about it.
Where does Bakers Dozen come from?
One strain database lists Bakers Dozen as an Exotic Genetix strain, crossing Milk & Cookies with Rainbow Chip, and another database gives the same parents. Both sides are Exotic Genetix work: Rainbow Chip comes from Sunset Sherbet and Mint Chocolate Chip, and Milk & Cookies is listed as coming from Cookies and Cream.
Not every listing agrees. One strain database's page names a different cross, and at least one Canadian product sold under a similar name lists lemon strains as its parents. The Exotic Genetix version is the best documented, but it's worth checking the label. Exotic Genetix has also used Bakers Dozen as a parent itself, crossing it with Donkey Butter to make Bread and Butter.
What does Bakers Dozen smell and taste like?
Sweet comes first: sugar, vanilla and a nutty, cookie-dough side that fits the name. Some listings add citrus and a light sour tang, and reviewers mention pine and a little gas.
One strain database's terpene data puts pinene first, then myrcene and caryophyllene. Pinene brings the piney note, myrcene a soft earthiness and caryophyllene a peppery bite. The taste is mostly sweet, and some people describe it as buttery.
Bakers Dozen effects: what people report
People describe a clear, focused start with a mood lift, followed by a relaxed body feel as it settles. Hunger comes up often, which fits the name.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth, dry eyes and some dizziness are the complaints people mention.
How strong is Bakers Dozen?
Listings are spread wide. One strain database shows about 15% THC, another database gives an average of 18% to 30%, and one product listing came in near 28%. CBD is very low.
With a range like that, the label matters more than the strain name. If you're new to it, start with a small amount and give it time before having more. Our guide to reading cannabis labels explains what the numbers mean.
Buying Bakers Dozen in Canada
Since more than one plant has been sold under this name, check the label for the parents or the breeder if it's listed. Also check the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date.
You might find it as dried flower or pre-rolls. Fresher flower keeps more of that sweet, bakery smell.
Bakers Dozen vs Rainbow Chip
Rainbow Chip is one of Bakers Dozen's parents, and both come from Exotic Genetix. Rainbow Chip is known for a cool mint and lime smell with a creamy side, while Bakers Dozen trades the mint for sugar, vanilla and nutty notes from its Milk & Cookies parent. Rainbow Chip reads more uplifted and giggly, and Bakers Dozen more focused, then relaxed. If you like mint and lime, start with Rainbow Chip. If a sweet bakery smell sounds better, try Bakers Dozen.
