Crème Brûlée
Crème Brûlée
Also known as: Creme Brulee, Naughty
Overview
Crème Brûlée is a rare indica-dominant hybrid strain created through crossing Platinum Kush, OG Kush, and Girl Scout Cookies (GSC). This unusual three-way cross produces an 80% indica/20% sativa strain that has gained recognition for its dessert-like flavor profile and balanced effects. The strain was developed by Hypno Seeds, though some sources indicate it was originally created by Emerald Family Farms. Due to confusion around its genetics, consumers should verify the exact lineage as more than one breeder has claimed to have bred a "Crème Brulee" cultivar. Known for its insanely delicious flavor, Crème Brûlée packs a sweet vanilla and nutty taste reminiscent of its namesake dessert. The buds present as fluffy forest green nugs with lots of thin amber hairs and frosty tiny amber crystal trichomes, creating an attractive visual appeal that matches its gourmet reputation.

Growing Information
Crème Brûlée is a difficult strain to grow, particularly challenging for beginners but moderately straightforward for experienced growers when correct techniques are applied. The strain has been praised for its hardiness and resistance to harmful pests like mold and mites, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Flowering time is 9 to 10 weeks, though experienced growers have noted flowering as early as 7 or 8 weeks. Plants reach about 36 inches in height. Indoor yields average around 1 oz/ft² while outdoor yields produce 2 to 3 oz/plant and are ready for harvest in late September. The plant responds best to a 12/12 photoperiod (12 hours light on, 12 hours light off) and systems such as SOG and hydroponics can yield great results.
