Boston Cream Pie by Mavericks Genetics

Boston Cream Pie by Mavericks Genetics is a dessert hybrid in the truest sense: a perfectly balanced 50% Indica / 50% Sativa cross of PuTang x Vanilla Cream that smells of cream, vanilla and cool mint. The breeder rates it at 26% THC (± 2%).

The flowers come in olive and forest green, laced with orange pistils and amber-tinted trichome hairs. They are dense and frosty, with a look that matches the rich flavor.

Boston Cream Pie needs about 9 weeks of bloom and returns up to 500 g/m² (1.64 oz/ft²) indoors or up to 600 g (21.2 oz) per plant outdoors. In the Northern Hemisphere it finishes in early October, and its total terpene content is 3.20%.

Boston Cream Pie Lineage: PuTang x Vanilla Cream

PuTang supplies vigor, structure and a punchy, potent backbone, while Vanilla Cream lends the smooth, sweet dessert notes that give this strain its name. The mint accent that appears in the finish keeps the profile from turning heavy or cloying.

Being a true 50/50, the plant grows with a balanced frame: moderate stretch in early flower, solid side branching and medium height. Mavericks lists a 99% feminization rate.

Aroma, Flavor and Effect

The jar opens with sweet cream and soft vanilla custard, then a fresh mint note cuts through on the exhale. The flavor stays smooth and dessert-like from the first draw to the last.

The high mirrors the 50/50 genetics. A gentle, euphoric head lift brightens the mood, and a mellow body ease follows without pulling toward the couch. It suits late afternoons, conversation and creative time as much as relaxed evenings.

Curing makes a noticeable difference with this strain. A slow dry followed by several weeks in sealed jars brings the vanilla custard to the front and lets the mint settle into a cool, clean finish.

Growing Boston Cream Pie Indoors and Outdoors

Indoors, top once and train with LST to control the moderate stretch, then fill a SCROG screen for an even canopy. Steady temperatures and a clean nutrient schedule help preserve the delicate cream and vanilla terpenes.

Outdoors, give the plant full sun, good drainage and room to branch. The early-October finish in the Northern Hemisphere makes it a manageable option for growers who want to harvest before the heaviest autumn rains.

During the last weeks, keep humidity moderate and avoid overly high temperatures, which can flatten the dessert notes during drying and curing.

Its balanced 50/50 frame also suits growers with limited height: after topping and a short vegetative stage, plants usually fill a tent evenly without towering over the light.

Feed moderately through bloom and taper nutrients in the final ten days. Dessert profiles like this one tend to taste cleaner when the plant is not pushed with heavy feeding, and the cream and vanilla notes come through more clearly in the finished flower.
