Bavarian Cream
Bavarian Cream
Also known as: Bavarian Cream Pie, Bavarian Cream Cake
Overview
Bavarian Cream is a slightly indica-dominant hybrid strain (60% indica/40% sativa) created through crossing Grandpa's Breath and Cookies N' Cream. Named for its dessert-inspired characteristics, this strain emerged from the boutique breeding work of Clone Only Strains, a group known for distributing genetics through cuttings rather than seed packs to preserve a single, vetted phenotype across growers. The strain has developed a reputation for its dense, resinous flowers and clearly indica-leaning effect profile.
This cultivar delivers a decadent flavor profile that mirrors its pastry-shop inspired name. Users report a rich, sweet blend of creamy vanilla, sugary notes, and nutty cookies, all topped with a zesty hint of sour citrus. The aroma is very similar, featuring sweet and creamy vanilla with herbal spice and citrusy undertones. The buds themselves are visually striking, displaying conical, dark olive green nugs with thin orange hairs, bright blue undertones, and a thick layer of chunky white trichomes that create a super frosty appearance.

Growing Information
Bavarian Cream has average growing difficulty and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoor flowering time is typically 52-61 days (7.5-8.5 weeks), with moderate yields expected. Plants respond well to stable environments with consistent light cycles and daytime temperatures of 70-80°F (21-27°C). Humidity should be reduced to 40-50% during flowering to prevent mold and encourage resin production. The strain can be grown using soil cultivation to enhance flavor and terpene profiles, or hydroponics to accelerate growth and boost yield potential. Low-stress training (LST) and topping techniques work well to promote even light distribution and increase bud development.
