Sweet Cream
Also known as: Sweet Cream Cake, Cream
Sweet Cream Strain Overview
Sweet Cream is a hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its dessert-like flavor profile and balanced effects. The strain's exact origins are somewhat unclear, with multiple breeders claiming development, but it appears to have emerged in the early 2010s as part of the dessert strain trend in cannabis breeding. Most sources suggest it was created by crossing Cookies and Cream with another creamy or dessert-oriented strain, though some breeders claim different parentage.
The strain is characterized by dense, frosty buds that often display a light green coloration with occasional purple hues and vibrant orange pistils. The buds are typically coated in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a sugary appearance that matches their sweet name. The plant structure tends to be bushy with moderate internodal spacing, making it suitable for various growing environments.
Sweet Cream has become known for its distinctive aroma and flavor profile that lives up to its name, offering creamy, sweet notes with subtle undertones of vanilla and sometimes berries. The strain's balanced genetics provide effects that are neither overwhelmingly sedating nor excessively energizing, making it popular among users seeking moderate, functional relaxation. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Sweet Cream has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate dessert-flavored cannabis varieties.

Sweet Cream Strain Growing Information
Sweet Cream 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 northern hemisphere climates. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants tend to reach medium height, typically between 3 to 5 feet tall when grown indoors, with outdoor plants potentially reaching 6 feet or more. Expected yields are moderate to high with proper care, producing approximately 14 to 18 ounces per square meter indoors or 16 to 20 ounces per plant outdoors. The strain benefits from regular pruning and training techniques like topping or LST (low-stress training) to manage its bushy growth and improve light penetration. Sweet Cream prefers stable temperatures and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold in its dense buds.
