Cream Mandarine Auto by Sweet Seeds
Cream Mandarine Auto does not build its identity through heaviness or spread, but through a very clear citrus line. The cultivar starts from a special Cream Caramel Auto selection and was taken further with an NYC Diesel elite clone, which shifts the sweet base noticeably toward a mandarin driven direction.
In growth, the plant stays collected and easy to shape without looking cramped. The frame develops enough lateral structure to carry flowers beyond the main stem, yet the overall form remains compact to medium in height. That balance keeps the cultivar controlled in automatic format while still giving it enough substance to avoid feeling small or flat.
Sweet Seeds lists Cream Mandarine Auto as a third generation autoflower. Plants reach 50 to 110 cm and complete their full cycle in around 63 days from germination. The breeder reports 400 to 550 g per m² indoors and 45 to 170 g per plant outdoors.
The aroma puts sweet mandarin clearly in front. At the same time, enough depth remains underneath to keep the cultivar from slipping into a simple candy profile. The Cream Caramel base rounds the scent, while the Diesel side gives the citrus more pull and makes the whole expression brighter, fresher, and more defined.
The cultivar shows itself most clearly where freshness and sweetness run together without blurring. A portion of the plants also develops violet to reddish tones toward the end, which gives the line a stronger visual signature as well. In the finished picture, Cream Mandarine Auto remains a compact to medium sized auto with a clear mandarin direction, solid flower set, and a cream based profile drawn with more freshness.
Cream Mandarine Auto was included in Ed Rosenthal’s selection of the world’s 19 best indica strains in 2019.
