Vanilla Frosting – “Diamond Cream Glide”

By Humboldt Seed Company

Vanilla Frosting is an elegant elevation of the Gelato line—retaining all that rich dessert appeal while soaring with hybrid vigor. This indica-dominant hybrid (approximately 65% Indica / 35% Sativa) is a refined blend of Humboldt Gelato Bx3 and Humboldt Frost. Expect tall, resilient plants with thick stalks, dense, globe-sized buds wrapped in resin, and an indulgent, creamy vanilla and fuel aroma. THC levels hover near 30%, delivering a giddy, euphoric high that’s as smooth as its namesake.

Cultivation Details

Vanilla Frosting is a feminized, photoperiod strain that flowers in about 60 days, with an outdoor harvest window from early to mid-October. The plants grow vigorously tall with strong structure and excellent trichome coverage—ideal for both hand and machine trimming. Yields are high to very high: around 600 g/m² indoors and up to 1,000 g per plant outdoors under ideal conditions. Its mold resistance and yield stability make it favorable for growers across environments.

Effects

The high begins uplifted and social—loopy yet lucid—before settling into happy, relaxed nirvana. It’s the kind of experience that sparkles: buoyant, giggly, euphoric, and much more gentle than a straight indica, yet cozy enough for evening calm.

Flavor & Aroma

True to its name, Vanilla Frosting greets the nose with a luscious blend of creamy vanilla frosting and buttery dessert, layered over faint diesel or fuel. The aroma and flavor are rich and sweet, balanced by subtle gas undertones and a soothing vanilla finish.

Grower Insights

“Chopping after 75 days of bloom… rock-solid build, six big tops, yields promising—8–10 ounces per plant.”

“The vanilla comes through more in the smoke than on smell—makes sense, like ice cream strains.”

“Smelled like sweet licorice with a hint of gas—grew with strong, gelato-like structure.”

These reflect its vigorous growth, high resin production, and dessert-forward flavor profile that’s especially pronounced during consumption.
