For over fifteen years, Cream Caramel has been winning awards at international cannabis events. Moreover, this strain looks promising to continue its triumphant march as it literally has everything it needs to triumph: a unique sweet caramel flavor, a fast cycle, increased immunity, and excellent yields.
Genetics and Characteristics
Cream Caramel is a feminized photoperiod indica-dominant (90/10) hybrid. Since coming into the spotlight in 2007, Cream Caramel has won around thirty awards at international cannabis events, more than half of which were landslide victories. These impressive achievements are due to the tremendous efforts of breeders who have developed an ingenious multi-cross of three renowned indica strains: Blue Black, Maple Leaf Indica, and White Rhino.
Cream Caramel has proven to be incredibly popular with stoners and growers alike, offering something for everyone. Growers appreciate its attractive appearance, with compact, low-profile plants reaching up to 1m in height, flowering in 8-9 weeks indoors and finishing this stage in early October outdoors. Despite the modest size of mature plants, professionals can easily harvest well over 450 g (16 oz) of magnificent buds from each plant. Less experienced growers can expect to harvest around 350 g (12 oz), and beyond that it all depends on skill and expertise. Indoors, yields range from 400-550 g/m2 (14-19 oz).
Flavor and Aroma
The organoleptic profile of Cream Caramel is dominated by pronounced notes of sweet and creamy caramel against a soft earthy and fruity background. The flavor is highlighted by notes of licorice and honey.
Recreational and Medicinal Use
Multiple analyses performed by independent laboratories show high levels of two cannabinoids in the dried buds: THC (up to 20%) and CBD (1.6%). The presence of the latter underlines the potential therapeutic benefits of Cream Caramel in the prevention and treatment of anxiety, depression, insomnia, and loss of appetite.
The indica dominance is immediately apparent in the effects of this strain, providing a deep sedation to the point of a pleasant tingling sensation throughout the body. The sativa part helps maintain a positive mood, mental clarity and an easy flow of consciousness. Prepare a tasty meal in advance to satisfy the increased appetite and make your bed to prepare for a sound, peaceful sleep. The recommended time for consumption is late afternoon or evening.
Cultivation
Cream Caramel is known for its resilience, so you can grow it successfully under any conditions. Its resistance to pests and diseases and low maintenance make it perfect for novice growers, while the feminized nature of the seeds guarantees high yields of sinsemilla.
Maintaining a relative humidity of around 50% is important indoors, and choosing a sunny location for outdoor cultivation is crucial. Plants have a voracious appetite, but remember that when it comes to cannabis cultivation, it's better to be frugal than too generous with water and nutrients. KADAMA experts recommend that you set up a regular watering and feeding schedule and stick to it. Cream Caramel responds well to low-stress training and moderate pruning, producing numerous lateral branches with large resin-soaked buds next to the monumental central cola. As the plant matures, the flowers become thick and look like they've been dipped in a sweet caramel coating. At harvest, the buds take on elegant shades of yellow and purple, captivating and mesmerizing with their glittering shimmer.
