Irish Cream
Irish Cream
Also known as: Irish Cream Aaaa
Overview
Irish Cream is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (90% indica / 10% sativa) created through a backcross of the classic Mighty Irish Hope strain by Mighty Irish Seeds. Despite its name suggesting creamy, dessert-like flavors, this strain delivers more classic cannabis flavors including fresh herbs, pine, and sweet earth with floral overtones. The buds display a visually appealing appearance with dense, medium-sized, forest green nugs accented by bright orange pistils and a thick coating of frosty amber trichomes. Irish Cream has gained recognition for its potent body-focused effects and therapeutic potential, making it popular among both recreational users seeking deep relaxation and medical patients looking for relief from various conditions. The strain's genetic lineage traces back to Amsterdam's renowned seed banks, incorporating genetics from Skunk #1, Mighty Mite Indica, and Holland's Hope, resulting in a well-rounded hybrid with strong, stable qualities. With its moderate growing difficulty and reliable performance, Irish Cream has become a favorite among both novice and experienced cultivators.

Growing Information
Irish Cream is considered moderately challenging to grow, requiring some experience and attention to detail. The strain thrives in controlled environments with consistent temperature and humidity levels. Indoor flowering time is typically 8-10 weeks (53-70 days) with yields of 400-550 grams per square meter. Plants grow to medium height (approximately 4.9 feet or 1.5 meters), making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Outdoor growers can expect harvests in late September to early October with yields of 450-550 grams per plant. The strain is resilient to most pests and molds, making it suitable for novice growers despite its moderate difficulty. Proper airflow and humidity management are essential due to dense bud structure. Regular pruning and training techniques like topping and LST can help maximize yields.
