Caramel Cream
Also known as: Caramel Cream Cake, Caramel Cream Kush
Caramel Cream Strain Overview
Caramel Cream is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Caramel Kush with Cookies and Cream. The strain first gained popularity in the mid-2010s among medical and recreational users seeking a flavorful, moderately potent experience with balanced effects. Breeders aimed to combine the relaxing qualities of Caramel Kush with the sweet, creamy flavor profile of Cookies and Cream, resulting in a strain that has become known for its dessert-like aroma and versatile effects.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, medium-sized buds with a distinctive coloration ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty, sugary appearance that hints at its potency. The buds typically have a tight, indica-dominant structure with occasional foxtailing, and when properly cured, they break apart to reveal complex layers of aroma.
Caramel Cream is particularly noted for its unique terpene profile that produces a complex flavor experience. The strain's name accurately reflects its sensory characteristics, with users reporting a smooth smoke that transitions from sweet caramel and vanilla notes on the inhale to creamy, buttery undertones on the exhale. This dessert-like quality, combined with its balanced effects, has made Caramel Cream a popular choice among users who appreciate flavorful cannabis without overwhelming potency.

Caramel Cream Strain Growing Information
Caramel Cream is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though it thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Caramel Cream responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields.
Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold in the dense buds and monitoring nutrient levels carefully, as the strain can be sensitive to overfeeding. The plants prefer a stable environment with temperatures between 20-26°C (68-78°F) during the day and slightly cooler at night. During the final weeks of flowering, some phenotypes may develop purple coloration when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures.
