La Crema
Also known as: La Crème
What is the La Crema strain?
La Crema is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and creamy flavor profile.
La Crema is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by Exotic Genetix, a prominent breeder known for creating premium cultivars. The strain was created by crossing the popular Gelato #41 with a selected phenotype of the Cookies and Cream strain, resulting in a genetic profile that combines the best traits of both parent strains. La Crema first gained attention in the cannabis community around 2018-2019 and has since become a sought-after variety among connoisseurs for its complex flavor profile and reliable effects.
The strain is characterized by dense, frosty buds that display a striking visual appearance. The nugs typically feature deep purple hues with vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of trichomes that gives the flowers a creamy, almost white appearance. The name 'La Crema' (Spanish for 'the cream') references both this visual characteristic and the strain's smooth, creamy flavor profile. The plant structure tends to be moderately bushy with good lateral branching, making it suitable for various cultivation methods.
La Crema is particularly noted for its complex terpene profile that combines sweet, creamy notes with hints of gas and fruit. The strain has gained popularity in both medical and recreational markets for its balanced effects that provide both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. While not as widely distributed as some mainstream commercial strains, La Crema has developed a dedicated following among cannabis enthusiasts who appreciate its premium quality and consistent performance.

How do you grow La Crema?
La Crema is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed.
Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant. The plants tend to stay at a manageable height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and up to 200 cm outdoors. La Crema responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yield and light penetration.
Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold in the dense buds and monitoring nutrient levels carefully, as the strain can be sensitive to overfeeding. The plants benefit from a slight temperature drop during the final weeks of flowering to enhance the purple coloration. Regular pruning of lower growth is recommended to direct energy to the main colas.
