Strawberries and Cream is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain bred from Strawberry Cough and The White, known for a ripe strawberry flavor with a smooth, creamy finish. The best-known version comes from Connoisseur Genetics in Amsterdam, while Exotic Genetix sells an unrelated, more indica-leaning strain under the same name. Weedmaps lists THC at about 19–26%, with a bright, clear lift that settles into gentle calm.

Where Strawberries and Cream Comes From
Two breeders use this name, and the plants are not related. The version most menus mean, according to Weedmaps, is from Connoisseur Genetics, an Amsterdam breeder that crossed Strawberry Cough with The White. SeedFinder lists the same parents, describes the plant as mostly sativa and notes it is sold as feminized seed only.
The second version comes from Exotic Genetix, which crossed a Strawberry Jelly mother with a Cookies & Cream F2 male. Weedmaps reports that the breeder labels it 60/40 indica, and that this cut has produced more than 40 descendants. If a jar does not name a breeder, ask; the two can feel quite different.
Strawberries and Cream also shows up as a parent elsewhere. Leafly and AllBud list Luxuriotti as a Biscotti and Strawberries and Cream cross.
Strawberries and Cream Effects: What It Feels Like
On Weedmaps, the most reported effects are uplifted (about 35 percent of reviews), relaxed (33 percent) and euphoric (31 percent). Reviewers of both versions describe a bright, clear-headed start that eases into physical calm without real sedation. Weedmaps describes the Connoisseur cut as social and daytime-friendly and the Exotic Genetix cut as heavier and more grounded.
At 19–26% THC, it sits in the moderate-to-strong range. For the Connoisseur version, a small dose works for errands, a walk or time with friends. The Exotic Genetix version is the better pick for evenings.
Strawberries and Cream Terpenes, Aroma and Flavor
Strawberry is the headline. Weedmaps users most often tag strawberry (46 percent), sweet (32 percent) and earthy (21 percent). Connoisseur Genetics’ own description, carried on SeedFinder, pairs strawberry with full-bodied pine and hash undertones, and Weedmaps describes ripe berry candy with herbal depth and a creamy finish. The Exotic Genetix cut leans toward strawberry with vanilla and a spicy, earthy edge.
No published lab terpene profile was available for either version, so we have not listed terpenes.
Side Effects and How to Use Strawberries and Cream
Neither Weedmaps nor SeedFinder lists specific negatives. Expect the usual dry mouth and dry eyes. Sativa-leaning strains can bring on a racing mind or anxiety in sensitive people at higher doses, so start small.
With Strawberries and Cream, as with any strain, a smaller dose usually avoids anxiety or grogginess. Our cannabis safety guide covers what to do if you take too much.
Growing Strawberries and Cream
- Flowering: 9–10 weeks
- Yield: Medium to high
- Height: Medium
- Environment: Indoor or outdoor
For the Connoisseur Genetics version, SeedFinder gives about 67 days of flowering and the breeder describes 9–10 weeks. Expect a medium stretch in flower; Weedmaps suggests a shorter vegetative period to keep height in check, and the breeder says it responds well to topping and training. Yields are described as medium to high, and the buds are very frosty, which is why the breeder pitches it for hash. A nine-to-ten-week outdoor finish can run into wet Pacific Northwest autumn weather, so outdoor growers should plan for good airflow and an eye on mold.
Home-grow rules depend on the state: adults can grow at home in states such as California (six plants per residence), Michigan (12 per residence) and Oregon (four per household), while Washington and Illinois allow home growing only for registered medical patients. Check your state in our cannabis laws by state guide before you plant anything.
