Strawberries and Cream
Strawberries and Cream is a name shared by two distinct hybrid strains with different genetic lineages, one developed by Connoisseur Genetics and the other by Exotic Genetix.
About Strawberries and Cream
The name Strawberries and Cream refers to two separate breeding projects with little genetic overlap. The version most commonly encountered is a sativa-dominant hybrid from Amsterdam-based Connoisseur Genetics, created by crossing Strawberry Cough with The White. This iteration is characterized by a profile of ripe strawberry and berry candy, supported by earthy, herbal undertones and a creamy finish. Users often describe the experience as a bright, social, and clear-headed lift that remains functional for daytime use.
Alternatively, Exotic Genetix developed an indica-leaning (60/40) hybrid by crossing a Strawberry Jelly mother with a Cookies & Cream F2 male. This version is noted for a sweeter, vanilla-forward strawberry aroma with spicy, earthy accents. While it shares an initial uplifting onset with the Connoisseur Genetics cut, it is reported to be more physically grounding and heavier in its effects. This specific cut has been widely used in breeding, serving as the foundation for over 44 documented descendants.
Plant characteristics
The Connoisseur Genetics cut of Strawberries and Cream typically reaches a medium height and exhibits a noticeable stretch during the flowering phase. It is known for producing resin-heavy flowers, making it a popular choice for extract production. The flowering period for this version is approximately 9–10 weeks.
