Crumpets
Crumpets
Also known as: Krumpets
Overview
Crumpets is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (70% indica/30% sativa) created through crossing Three Kings OG and London Pound Cake. Developed by Cresco Labs, this strain emerged from the late-2010s wave of dessert-themed cannabis hybrids and gained traction first on the West Coast and in select Midwestern medical markets around 2019-2021. The name reflects its pastry-forward flavor profile and helps distinguish it from the crowded field of Cake and Pie hybrids. Crumpets has shown remarkable consistency in aroma and bud structure across verified batches, attributed to careful phenotype selection by breeders. The strain features fat spade-shaped olive green buds with purple undertones, thick orange hairs, and a coating of frosty purple-tinted white crystal trichomes. Its dense, compact buds are heavily coated with abundant trichomes that give them a distinctive frosty appearance. The strain's visual appeal, combined with its robust genetics from the union of Three Kings' potent indica influence and London Pound Cake's flavorful characteristics, has made it a standout choice among cannabis connoisseurs seeking both therapeutic benefits and recreational enjoyment.

Growing Information
Crumpets requires moderate cultivation experience and thrives in controlled environments. Indoor plants typically reach heights of 60-80 inches (5-8 feet), requiring adequate space for expansive growth. The strain has a flowering period of 8-10 weeks and can be harvested from late September to October outdoors. Indoor yields average around 400g/m² under optimal conditions, while outdoor cultivation can produce impressive yields of up to 550g per plant. The strain flourishes in dry, temperate climates with plenty of sunlight. Cultivation techniques like LST (Low Stress Training) and SCROG (Screen of Green) are recommended to optimize space utilization and maximize yields. Proper humidity and temperature control are essential, with professionals recommending indoor growing for better environmental management. The strain responds well to organic soil for enhanced terpene development and requires attention to detail throughout the growing cycle.
