Also known as: Colorado Cream Soda, Vanilla Cream Soda
Overview
Cream Soda is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (70% indica, 30% sativa) created through crossing Huckleberry Soda and Cookies & Cream. Developed by Exotic Genetix and popularized by the LoCol Love crew in Colorado, this strain has gained recognition for its unique dessert-like profile and balanced effects. The strain features dense, resinous buds with dark green coloration accented by purple and orange hues, heavily coated in trichomes that give it a frosty, crystalline appearance. Cream Soda is characterized by its complex flavor profile that mirrors its namesake, offering sweet vanilla notes complemented by hints of tar, violet, and fruity berry undertones. The strain's terpene profile is dominated by limonene, with significant contributions from myrcene and caryophyllene, creating a sophisticated aromatic bouquet that appeals to cannabis connoisseurs. With THC levels typically ranging from 20-27%, Cream Soda delivers potent effects while maintaining the smooth, approachable character that has made it popular among both recreational and medical users.

Growing Information
Cream Soda is considered moderately difficult to grow, making it suitable for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks (56-70 days) and can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors. Indoor plants typically reach 3-4 feet in height and yield 400-550 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce up to 550 grams per plant with harvest occurring in mid to late October. The strain requires careful control of temperature and humidity, thriving best in stable indoor environments. Plants develop dense, heavy buds that may require branch support during flowering. Cream Soda responds well to training techniques and defoliation, with vigorous lateral branching. The strain prefers moderate to moderately heavy nutrition and benefits from supplemental calcium and magnesium when grown under LED lights.
