Hazelnut Cream
Hazelnut Cream
Also known as: Hazelnut Cream F1, Hazelnut Cream F2
Overview
Hazelnut Cream is a rare sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (70% sativa/30% indica) created by Exotic Genetix through the crossbreeding of Miami Haze and Cookies & Cream. First emerging in the cannabis market around 2016 from the Washington-based breeder, this strain has gained recognition for its unique flavor profile and distinctive effects that defy typical sativa characteristics. The strain produces medium-sized plants capable of heavy yields, with dense, forest-green buds covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes and bright orange pistils, giving them an aesthetically pleasing crystalline appearance. Known for its authentic dessert-like flavor profile combining sweet cream, roasted hazelnuts, and subtle vanilla undertones with hints of citrus and spice, Hazelnut Cream offers a complex sensory experience that has made it a favorite among cannabis connoisseurs. Despite its sativa dominance, the strain is noted for producing surprisingly sedating effects at higher doses, earning it the colloquial nickname "the Xanax of weed" among users. The strain's ability to provide both energizing and relaxing effects depending on dosage makes it versatile for various consumption preferences and times of day.

Growing Information
Hazelnut Cream is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation, as well as greenhouse growing. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 63 days (9 weeks) and produces heavy yields of around 400g per plant. Plants typically reach heights of 30-60cm, making them medium-sized and manageable. The strain shows good resilience and adaptability to various growing conditions but requires some experience and patience from cultivators. Outdoor harvesting occurs in early October. The strain is available as regular seeds only, not feminized, and clones may be obtained directly from cultivators. Dense, resinous buds with high trichome production make this strain ideal for extraction processes.
