Custard Cream effects are mostly calming.
Custard Cream is a modern hybrid-indica cultivar derived from the crossbreeding of Nepal Indica and Hawaii Sativa genetics. Developed to balance distinct regional characteristics, this strain has become a notable fixture in contemporary breeding programs. Its genetic lineage is successfully perpetuated through its own prolific performance and is perhaps most visible in its notable offspring, Shark Infested Custard.
The aromatic and flavor profile of Custard Cream is defined by a complex chemical composition, led by a dominant concentration of myrcene. This foundation is enriched by a progression of pinene, ocimene, and limonene, followed by caryophyllene, beta-pinene, nerolidol, and linalool, with subtle finishing notes of humulene, bisabolol, and guaiol. This terpene architecture produces a distinct sensory experience that reflects the depth of its tiered botanical profile.
As a THC-dominant variety, Custard Cream is utilized primarily for its effects of relaxation, composure, and maintained mental focus. These properties make it a frequent choice for the management of pain, stress, and sleep-related concerns. Cultivators can expect a moderate level of difficulty when growing this strain, which thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments. With a flowering cycle of 68 days, the strain is capable of producing a high yield, solidifying its reliability within professional and home cultivation settings.

Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Russo 2011: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.
