Cherries N Cream
Cherries N Cream
Also known as: Cherries and Cream
Overview
Cherries N Cream is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Olympic Seeds, created through a cross of Cookies N Cream (from a 2017 pheno hunt) and Sapphire Cherries. This relatively rare strain represents a fusion of dessert-like genetics, combining the sweet, creamy characteristics of its Cookies lineage with the fruity cherry notes from its Sapphire Cherries parent. Sapphire Cherries itself is an evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) derived from Sapphire OG and Glazed Cherries, known for its gorgeous appearance featuring dense, spade-shaped forest green nugs with deep blue undertones and vivid orange hairs coated in chunky blue-tinted white crystal trichomes.
The strain's genetic foundation suggests a complex terpene profile that would likely emphasize sweet cherry and creamy vanilla notes, inherited from both parent lines. Cookies N Cream, one of the parent strains, is renowned for its award-winning dessert-like flavor profile and balanced hybrid effects, having won first place in the hybrid category at the 2014 Denver Cannabis Cup. The combination with Sapphire Cherries would theoretically produce a strain with enhanced fruity cherry characteristics while maintaining the creamy, sweet base that makes Cookies N Cream so popular among cannabis enthusiasts.

Growing Information
Cherries N Cream can be cultivated indoors, outdoors, and in greenhouse environments. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 65 days (9-10 weeks). Growing difficulty is considered moderate, requiring attention to temperature and humidity levels to bring out the strain's full potential. Olympic Seeds originally offered this strain only as regular (non-feminized) seeds. Growers should expect plants that may exhibit characteristics from both parent lines, potentially showing varied phenotypes with different expressions of the cherry and cream traits.
