Crema de Ajo
Also known as: Garlic Cream
Crema de Ajo Strain Overview
Crema de Ajo, which translates to 'Garlic Cream' in Spanish, is a relatively rare cannabis strain that has gained attention among connoisseurs for its distinctive flavor profile and balanced effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with most sources suggesting it was developed by Spanish breeders who crossed classic genetics to create a unique aromatic experience. While not as widely documented as mainstream commercial strains, Crema de Ajo has developed a cult following in certain cannabis communities, particularly in Europe, where its unusual terpene combination sets it apart from more common varieties.
The strain's most notable characteristic is its complex aroma, which combines pungent garlic and onion notes with creamy, savory undertones—a departure from the fruity or diesel profiles common in many modern hybrids. Visually, Crema de Ajo typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a frosty trichome coverage that gives them a creamy white appearance. The flowers often display shades of light green with occasional purple hues, particularly when grown in cooler conditions. The leaves tend to be broad with slight curling, reflecting its hybrid genetic makeup.
Crema de Ajo represents an interesting example of how cannabis breeding can explore unconventional flavor territories. While not as potent as some ultra-high-THC modern hybrids, its balanced cannabinoid profile and unique terpene expression make it noteworthy for those seeking something different from mainstream strains. The strain's relative rarity means that consistent phenotypes may vary between growers, and comprehensive laboratory data is less available than for more commercially established varieties.

Crema de Ajo Strain Growing Information
Crema de Ajo is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Yields are moderate, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter indoors or 500-600 grams per plant outdoors under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing, though it prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight when grown outside. Plants tend to reach medium height (1.2-1.8 meters) and benefit from training techniques like topping or LST to maximize light penetration. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure and monitoring nutrient levels carefully as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding.
