Extreme Cream: The Buttery Sedative
Extreme Cream: The Buttery Sedative
Strain Overview
Type: Indica-Dominant Hybrid (70% Indica / 30% Sativa)
Breeder: Exotic Genetix
Lineage: Extreme OG x Cookies & Cream
Market Status: The "Dairy Dessert"; Extreme Cream is a standout cultivar in the Exotic Genetix library. While its parent, Cookies & Cream, became famous for its vanilla sweetness, Extreme Cream takes a sharper, funkier turn. It is renowned for a bizarre and delightful terpene profile that smells distinctly of oily butter and skim milk mixed with heavy earth. It represents the perfect fusion of the "Gas" era (OG Kush genetics) and the "Dessert" era (Cookie genetics), creating a potent, frost-covered flower that tastes as rich as it feels.
THC Content: High (20% – 26%)
Dominant Terpenes: Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene
Key Effects: Deep Euphoria, Muscle Relaxation, Appetite Stimulation, "Stoned" Contentment
Extreme Cream is the strain for smokers who crave texture.
The smoke feels thick, oily, and rich, coating the mouth like heavy cream. It is not a fruity, refreshing smoke; it is a savory, decadent experience. It combines the knockout power of a classic OG with the aesthetic beauty and resin production of the Cookies family, resulting in a strain that looks like jewelry and hits like a sedative.
History and Lineage: The Clash of Titans
Extreme Cream was bred to maximize resin and potency by combining two heavyweights.
The Mother (Extreme OG): A powerhouse cross of Fire OG x Green Ribbon. This parent provides the gas, the lemon-pine funk, and the devastating Indica punch. It is the source of the strain's "Extreme" potency.
The Father (Cookies & Cream): The award-winning hybrid (Starfighter x GSC). This male is legendary for its ability to pass on insane trichome production and a sweet, vanilla-dough flavor.
The Synthesis: When crossed, the sweet vanilla of the father mixed with the sharp fuel of the mother to create a unique "Buttery" phenotype. It retained the heavy stone of the OG but dressed it in the frosty tuxedo of the Cookies & Cream.
Terpene Profile: Butter and Skunk
This strain has a polarizing but addictive aroma. It steps away from the "candy" trend and leans into savory funk.
Dominant Terpenes
Myrcene (The Musk): The dominant terpene. It provides a heavy earthy and herbal base that contributes to the "couch-lock" effect.
Limonene (The Citrus): Inherited from the OG lineage, this adds a sharp lemon rind note that cuts through the creaminess.
Caryophyllene (The Spice): Adds a background of black pepper and fuel.
Flavor Notes:
The Aroma: It is pungent and distinct. It smells of rancid butter, sweet skim milk, and damp earth. It has a "dairy funk" that is rare in cannabis.
The Smoke: Incredibly smooth and expansive. It tastes of buttery dough, skunky hash, and a hint of sweet vanilla.
Strain Effects: The Smooth Operator
Extreme Cream is an Indica lover's delight. It is heavy, but not immediately debilitating.
The Experience
The Onset: The high begins with a euphoric lift. You feel happy, giggly, and stress-free. This is the Cookies & Cream influence shining through.
The Melt: Slowly, the Extreme OG genetics take over. A warm sensation spreads through the limbs. Tension in the neck and shoulders evaporates.
The Stone: It settles into a deep, comfortable physical sedation. You aren't necessarily asleep, but you certainly aren't running a marathon. You are "stuck" in the best way possible.
The Mood: It is famously mood-elevating. Even as your body gets heavy, your mind remains happy and dreamy.
Best For: Evening relaxation, watching movies, chronic pain, appetite loss, and insomnia.
Growing Extreme Cream: The Frosty Bush
Like most Exotic Genetix strains, Extreme Cream was bred for "Bag Appeal."
Growth Structure
The Appearance: The buds are stunning. They are dense, dark green (often turning purple in late flower), and completely coated in white trichomes. The contrast between the dark leaves and the white frost is top-tier.
The Yield: Moderate to High. It yields better than pure Cookies & Cream thanks to the vigor of the Extreme OG parent.
The Structure: It grows Medium-Tall. It benefits from topping and training to open up the canopy.
The Smell: It is loud. By week 6 of flower, your grow room will smell like a skunk broke into a bakery. Carbon filters are mandatory.
The Time: It finishes flowering in 8 to 9 weeks.
Grower’s Tip: This strain loves lower temperatures in the final two weeks. dropping the night temp to 65°F (18°C) will bring out deep violet and maroon hues that make the "cream" colored resin pop even more.
Final Verdict: The Buttery Sedative
Extreme Cream is a gourmet Indica. It offers a sophisticated flavor profile that moves beyond simple fruit or gas, delivering a rich, buttery smoke that feels substantial in the lungs. If you are looking for a strain that looks beautiful in the jar, tastes unique, and reliably puts you in a state of happy, hungry relaxation, this is the cream of the crop.
You should choose Extreme Cream if:
You want Unique Terpenes (Butter/Dairy).
You love "Bag Appeal" (High Frost).
You need Pain/Stress Relief.
You enjoy OG Kush Potency.
