Greasy Creamsicle
Also known as: Greasy Cream, Creamsicle OG
Greasy Creamsicle Strain Overview
Greasy Creamsicle is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. The strain was developed by crossing Grease Monkey with an unknown Creamsicle phenotype, though some sources suggest it may involve genetics from Orange Creamsicle or related citrus-forward strains. Breeders aimed to combine the heavy resin production and relaxing effects of Grease Monkey with the sweet, citrus flavor profile of Creamsicle varieties. The strain gained popularity among connoisseurs for its unique terpene profile and balanced effects, though it remains relatively rare compared to mainstream commercial strains.
The strain's name derives from its distinctive characteristics: 'Greasy' refers to the exceptionally resinous buds that appear almost wet with trichomes, while 'Creamsicle' describes the sweet citrus and creamy vanilla flavor profile. Plants typically produce dense, conical buds with dark green foliage and vibrant orange pistils. The trichome coverage is exceptionally heavy, giving the buds a sticky, greasy texture that makes handling difficult without proper tools. The coloration can vary from deep forest green to purple hues depending on growing conditions and phenotype expression.
Greasy Creamsicle is noted for its complex aroma that evolves during cultivation and curing. Fresh plants emit sharp citrus notes with undertones of fuel and earth, while properly cured buds develop sweeter, creamier aromas reminiscent of orange sherbet or vanilla ice cream. The strain's effects are typically described as balanced, beginning with cerebral stimulation that gradually transitions to physical relaxation. Due to its relatively high THC content and complex terpene profile, Greasy Creamsicle is generally recommended for experienced consumers rather than novice users.

Greasy Creamsicle Strain Growing Information
Greasy Creamsicle is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The strain has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 4-7 feet outdoors. Yield is average to above average, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter indoors or 16-20 ounces per plant outdoors under ideal conditions.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Indoor growers should maintain temperatures between 68-80°F (20-27°C) during flowering and provide good air circulation to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to bud rot. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize light penetration and yield. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some phenotypes showing sensitivity to nitrogen during flowering. The heavy resin production makes trimming labor-intensive but rewarding for extract makers.
