Cream Strain Overview
Cream is a popular hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its balanced effects and dessert-like aroma profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat debated within the cannabis community, with multiple breeders claiming development of similarly named varieties. Most commonly, Cream is associated with a genetic cross involving Cookies family genetics, often with indica-dominant parents that contribute to its relaxing yet functional characteristics. The strain emerged during the early 2010s as part of the dessert-strain trend that swept through cannabis culture, with breeders focusing on developing varieties with sweet, creamy aromas reminiscent of popular confections.
Visually, Cream typically produces dense, resinous buds with a frosty trichome coating that gives the flowers a creamy white appearance. The nugs often display various shades of green with occasional purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The strain's name accurately reflects its most distinctive feature—a sweet, creamy aroma with undertones of vanilla and caramel, often accompanied by subtle earthy or citrus notes. This appealing fragrance has made Cream particularly popular among consumers who prefer less pungent, more dessert-like cannabis varieties.
Cream is known for producing well-balanced effects that combine physical relaxation with mild cerebral stimulation. Users typically report a gradual onset that begins with mood elevation and gentle euphoria, followed by a soothing body relaxation that doesn't typically lead to sedation at moderate doses. The strain's balanced nature has contributed to its popularity among both recreational and medicinal users seeking manageable effects suitable for various times of day. While multiple Cream phenotypes exist with varying indica/sativa ratios, most maintain this characteristic equilibrium between mental and physical effects.

Cream Strain Growing Information
Cream is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments. Cream prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants typically reach medium height (100-150 cm indoors, 150-200 cm outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize light penetration and bud development. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold in dense buds and monitoring nutrient levels carefully, as Cream can be sensitive to overfeeding. The strain responds well to organic growing methods and produces particularly aromatic flowers when grown in living soil.
