About Creme De Menthe
Creme De Menthe is an indica-dominant hybrid known for its cool mint flavours, sweet cream undertones and steady, calming effects. It performs well indoors under structured training and can yield robust outdoor harvests in sheltered UK sites when managed against cool northern summers.
Creme De Menthe is an indica-dominant hybrid with compact growth and dense buds. It favours a calming, balanced experience rather than extreme stimulation.
THC levels are generally moderate to high, usually between 18 and 22 percent. This gives a pronounced psychoactive effect without becoming overwhelming for most users.
CBD content is low, typically under one percent. The cultivar is selected primarily for its THC-driven effects rather than CBD therapy.
The genetics trace back to Cream Mandarine x Mentha, which gives the cultivar its distinctive mint notes. The cross emphasises terpene-driven aroma and resin production.
Seeds are commonly offered as feminised to ensure predictable, flower-producing plants. Regular seed runs are less common for this variety.
Growing Creme De Menthe is moderately challenging and benefits from steady environmental control. In cool northern summers you should monitor humidity and airflow closely to avoid mould issues.
Flowering completes in about eight to nine weeks under controlled indoor conditions. Outdoor plants in good seasons are usually ready by late September or early October.
Yield is medium to high indoors when plants are trained and fed correctly. Outdoors in Newport sheltered sites can produce respectable crops if the season is kind.
Plants typically reach a medium height with robust lateral branching. Regular pruning and training produce a bushier, more productive canopy.
Indoors, Creme De Menthe responds well to SCROG and topping to manage vertical growth. Outdoors in Newport select a sunny, sheltered plot to reduce exposure to wind and rain.
Growing Creme De Menthe in Newport requires attention to cool northern summers and sudden damp spells. Use polytunnels or raised beds outdoors and maintain strong ventilation indoors to counter those conditions in Newport.
Initial effects present as a bright, mint-accented uplift that settles into deep relaxation. The balance suits social evenings or calm personal time.
The flavour profile mixes cool mint with sweet cream and a light herbal earthiness. The aftertaste leaves a fresh, minty finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this strain, covering growth, effects, and suitability for UK conditions.
Start with a mild base nutrient during vegetative growth and increase phosphorus and potassium during flowering to support bud development.
Check trichome colour around week eight to nine; harvest when most trichomes turn milky with a few ambers for balanced effects.
A small grow room with LED lighting, good extraction, an oscillating fan, and a SCROG frame suits Creme De Menthe well to control height and improve yields.
Improve airflow, keep plants spaced, remove lower foliage, and use dehumidifiers or fans when humidity rises after rain.
Yes, topping during early vegetative stages promotes even canopy development and increases bud sites when combined with low-stress training.
Maintain soil pH around 6.0-6.5 and hydroponic pH around 5.8-6.2 for optimal nutrient uptake.
Dry buds slowly for 7-10 days, then cure in sealed jars for at least two weeks to improve flavour and smoothness, with burping during the first week.
It tolerates modest temperature swings but prolonged cold and damp can slow ripening and increase disease risk.
Aphids, spider mites and bud rot are the main concerns; monitor regularly and use biological controls or neem oil where appropriate.
Growing cannabis remains illegal in the UK; be aware of local laws and risks before cultivating.
