Honey Cream
Honey Cream
Also known as: Honey And Cream, Honey-Cream, Royal Caramel
Overview
Honey Cream is an indica-dominant hybrid strain created through a three-way cross between BlueBlack, Maple Leaf Indica, and White Rhino. Originally developed in Spain where it first saw cultivation, the strain has rapidly become a classic and is gaining recognition internationally. The strain is typically 65% indica and 35% sativa, though some sources classify it as approximately 70% indica and 30% sativa. The plants exhibit classic indica characteristics, growing short and bushy with a huge canopy of dense, resinous buds. What sets Honey Cream apart is its remarkably fast flowering time, earning it the "Fast Flowering" designation from breeders like Royal Queen Seeds.
The strain is renowned for its dessert-like sensory profile. Its flavor can be described as sweet and earthy with creamy caramel-like tones, though due to its complex genetic makeup, subtle flavor nuances can vary between plants while the sweet honey and caramel notes remain dominant. The taste blends sweet sugary honey with creamy vanilla and touches of fresh blueberries, complemented by an aroma of sweet fruity blueberries, creamy vanilla, and sugary honey, all wrapped up with touches of woody pine. Laboratory tests frequently indicate THC concentrations ranging between 15-22%, providing a potent experience without overwhelming intensity, making it suitable for both novice and experienced consumers seeking relaxation without excessive potency.

Growing Information
Honey Cream is known for its exceptionally fast flowering time of 6-7 weeks, though it's recommended to give it 7-8 weeks for optimal flavor and potency. Indoor yields typically range from 500-550g/m² under a 600W light, with experienced growers achieving up to 650g/m². Outdoor yields can reach 625-675g per plant when conditions are optimal, with harvest typically in late September to early October. Indoor plants grow 100-160cm tall while outdoor plants can reach 180-250cm in height. The strain is not very resistant to mold, requiring careful attention in humid conditions. It accepts various training techniques well including topping, LST, and mainlining, making it suitable for different cultivation styles. Some growers note the strain can be sensitive to nutrients, requiring careful feeding schedules.
