Vanilla Creme Pie is a dessert strain with a fuel streak. Humboldt Seed Company found it during the 2019 Collaborative Phenotype Mega-Hunt at Aloha Humboldt Farms, where it stood out among hundreds of plants. The result is an Indica-dominant (70% Indica / 30% Sativa) feminized line with 23-25% THC.
Plants grow vigorous and upright, with a moderate stretch in bloom and flowers covered in amazing trichomes. The flavor reads like vanilla pastry and Boston creme with a sweet fuel kick, and the effect is relaxing and sleepy, built for evenings.
With minor variation across the line and a 65-day flowering time, Vanilla Creme Pie is a consistent, eye-catching addition to any garden lineup. It rewards careful growers with buds that look frosted straight from the bakery.
Vanilla Creme Pie Lineage: Emerald Fire OG x Ghost of Von Humboldt
The cross is Emerald Fire OG x Ghost of Von Humboldt. Emerald Fire OG brings OG fuel and solid structure, while Ghost of Von Humboldt adds creamy sweetness and resin. Every year the breeder takes thousands of clones for its phenotype work, and this plant was one of the keepers.
The line is listed as Bx4, four rounds of backcrossing that keep variation minor and lock in the vanilla nose and heavy trichome coverage of the original selection.
Aroma, Flavor, and Effect
The aroma is vanilla pastry, Boston creme, and sweet fuel. Creamy custard and baked dough lead, with a gassy OG edge underneath that keeps the profile from getting too sugary.
Picture a bakery case full of cream pies with a vintage muscle car idling at the curb outside. Sweet cream and warm pastry up front, a whiff of fuel on the finish. The smoke is smooth and rich from the first pull.
The effect is listed as relaxing and sleepy. A calm body melt sets in after the first few pulls, the mind slows down, and the couch starts looking good. At 23-25% THC, it fits the very end of the day.
Growing Vanilla Creme Pie Indoors and Outdoors
Indoors, Vanilla Creme Pie flowers for about 65 days. Plants grow upright with moderate stretch, so a single topping and some LST are enough to create an even canopy under the lights.
Outdoors, harvest falls between October 1 and October 15. The vigorous, upright frame handles in-ground beds and large containers well. Support the colas in late bloom and keep airflow strong through the canopy.
Humboldt Seed Company does not publish yield numbers for this line, but vigorous growth and gorgeous, trichome-heavy buds make it rewarding. Dry slowly in a cool room to protect the delicate vanilla notes, then cure in sealed jars for several weeks so the creamy pastry character fully develops. Burp the jars daily in the first week.
