True to its name, Candy Cream is a sweet and creamy treat that's much loved by cannabis fans across the globe. Just as some people like to save room for dessert, this herb's loyal followers always make sure they set aside enough time to relish it.

A three-way cross of Blue Black, Maple Leaf and White Rhino, this delicious strain has a 90% Indica make-up. It won't disappoint when it comes to full body relaxation, and it has the added bonus of 24% THC which ensures a mental high that makes the overall experience even better.

Candy Cream is a must-try strain, but people don't need to settle for buying their buds from dispensaries. Thanks to these autoflowering seeds from Homegrown Cannabis Co., fans can grow their own crop with less time and effort than ever before.

Growing Candy Cream from Autoflowering Seeds

Cultivating Candy Cream is pure bliss. Just like most Indica plants, it's naturally hardy and easy to grow. It remains short and squat, so space and discretion will rarely be an issue.

Candy Cream auto takes just nine weeks from germination to harvest. This is astoundingly quick – even when compared to regular Indicas which are already regarded as fast-growers. Even novices will have a fun and easy time with these toughies.

When planted indoors, Candy Cream thrives in a SOG setup. Light management is a very simple affair since the plants do not need darkness to photosynthesize. Some growers give 24-hour lighting, while others stop at 18 hours, so the plants have time to rest. Come harvest time, the yields are very impressive, with around 1.31 to 2 ounces per square foot ready to enjoy.

Candy Cream can grow in the great outdoors as well. As it doesn't depend on light cycles, it can thrive in any season just as long as it's not snowing or too cold. This makes it particularly popular among cultivators in the northern hemisphere. If all goes well, a harvest of 10 to 17 ounces per plant is entirely possible.

Fragrance and Flavor

Candy Cream is a gift to the senses in every way. It smells soft and enticing, and when inhaled, the smoke has an incredibly sweet and earthy caramel flavor. On the exhale, it leaves an aftertaste of creamy vanilla.

Effects

With a hefty Indica makeup, Candy Cream promises a swift dose of full body relaxation. Even veterans will feel its calming effect kicking in within three or four minutes, and it'll be even quicker for inexperienced smokers.

Most Indica-dominant strains come with a low THC level, but this is not the case for Candy Cream. This veritable dessert of a plant comes with a staggering 24%, which gives a soaring mental high. Making the experience even sweeter is the Sativa content which, although relatively meager at just 10%, is sufficient to lift the mood.

It's an exceptionally potent hybrid, so don't be fooled into thinking that a night out is even remotely possible after smoking it. An awesome sit-back-and-relax cannabis, the only activities it allows are those that do not require much movement. But with an engaged mind full of happy thoughts, and a deep feeling of bodily tranquility, who needs to hit the town anyway?

Instead, you can lie on the backyard grass and enjoy the company of the moon and the stars. Perhaps catch up on a TV show from the comfort of a cozy couch. And then, when drowsiness takes over, sprawl on the bed and savor the serene state as you drift off to sleep. It's pure unadulterated bliss.

Medical

Candy Cream is said to possess excellent medicinal benefits. Patients suffering from anxiety and depression have sung its praises, since it may help them let go of mental and physical burdens.

The relief it gives, although temporary, may have lasting benefits to people with certain mental health conditions, for whom a moment of peace with a calm body and happy mind can be very valuable.

The plant may also help ward off insomnia, fatigue and stress, and the long, deep sleep it provides can be very helpful. Whether you're suffering from lack of shut-eye, tiredness, or the pressures of daily life in general, a good slumber can be hugely beneficial. Smoke it, enjoy the calming and euphoric impact, fall asleep and wake up the next day feeling a renewed lease for life.

Indica strains like Candy Cream tend to have more body-centered effects, and the plant may be useful in alleviating aches and pains from minor to chronic. It's especially favored by people suffering from arthritis, migraines and eye pressure.

Candy Cream, as amazing as it can be, also has some potentially negative side effects. Dry eyes and cottonmouth are quite common, and can be avoided by keeping properly hydrated.

Given its very high Indica content, the strain may knock users for six. Beginners are especially prone to experiencing this as their lack of experience may cause them to go overboard. So go easy with this mean puncher, and stick within your own limits.

In rare instances some people may experience anxiety or paranoia. Those sensitive to THC are particularly at risk of this, and may wish to switch to low-THC strain instead.
