Vanilla Crème Pie – “Decadent Pastry Frost”

By Humboldt Seed Company

Vanilla Crème Pie emerged from a 2019 phenotype mega-hunt at Aloha Humboldt Farms, standing out among hundreds as a true gem. This indica-dominant hybrid (approx. 70% Indica / 30% Sativa) is a cross of Emerald Fire OG × Ghost of Von Humboldt OG. With THC levels between 23–25%, it offers a deeply relaxing, sleep-inducing experience wrapped in a sweet, creamy, pastry-like package.

Cultivation Details

This feminized photoperiod strain flowers in about 65 days indoors, with outdoor harvest typically between October 1–15. It grows with a vigorous, upright structure and moderate stretch during bloom, producing gorgeous, trichome-rich buds that often take on purple hues late in flowering. Indoor height tends to range from medium to tall (around 70–150 cm), and yields are robust—approximately 500–550 g/m² indoors, and up to ~900 g per plant outdoors. It’s resilient, beginner-friendly, and well-suited to diverse grow environments including soil, coco, and hydro.

Effects

Vanilla Crème Pie delivers a fast-working, deeply calming high that envelops the body in relaxation and can usher users toward restful sleep. Despite its indica lean, many find the experience blissfully euphoric—ideal for winding down after a long day, quiet reflection, or evening comfort.

Flavor & Aroma

Expect an intoxicating bouquet of vanilla pastry, Boston cream rich sweetness, and a subtle hint of sweet fuel. The aroma and taste are dessert-forward, creamy, and lingering—like indulging in a slice of silk-smooth custard pie.
