Peaches and Cream
Peaches and Cream
Also known as: Peaches & Cream, Peaches 'N Cream
Overview
Peaches and Cream is a sativa-leaning phenotype of staple strain Skunk originally developed by Big Buddha Seeds in the United Kingdom. Although the exact parentage is sometimes debated, Peaches and Cream is reputed to be derived from a cross between a peach-flavored indica variety and a creamy, dessert-inspired hybrid. However, some sources suggest it is a complex lineage of carefully selected parent strains, including Chem Dawg, Super Silver Haze, Maui, and Grape Kush. The strain is characterized by medium to large-sized flowers that adhere in an elongated, tapered formation, somewhat like miniature pinecones. They also have a seemingly indica bud structure, with a dense core and closely-packed leaves. The leaves themselves are a mottled mix of dark and pale green and are set off by neon orange pistils. Peaches and Cream's flowers are finished off by a dense covering of sticky, translucent trichomes. True to its name, the strain offers a delicious blend of sweet, ripe peach flavors with a creamy, nutty finish and subtle citrus notes.

Growing Information
Peaches and Cream usually flowers in 8–10 weeks indoors, while outdoor growers can expect harvests in early to mid-October. It can be cultivated indoors or out in a hot, humid climate. As a typical sativa, the plants tend to be quite tall and should be regularly pruned to keep the height from outgrowing an indoor space. Indoors: Thrives in controlled environments with temperatures maintained between 70°F and 80°F (21–27°C) and moderate humidity. Regular pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training (LST) are recommended to maximize bud development and yield. Outdoors: Prefers warm, sunny climates with well-draining soil, performing best in Mediterranean-like conditions but also adaptable to cooler environments with proper care. Indoors Yield: Yields are typically around 400–500 grams per square meter. Outdoors Yield: With optimal conditions, outdoor plants may yield up to 600 grams per plant.
