Cream Mandarine XL Auto by Sweet Seeds
Cream Mandarine XL Auto shifts the center of the mandarin line clearly toward more plant body. The cultivar does not build only on citrus and sweetness, but on a larger automatic frame with more height, more lateral structure, and a noticeably broader overall shape than the smaller original line.
In growth, it develops a longer main stem, numerous side branches, and a structure that stays fairly collected despite its XL character. Short internodal spacing helps keep the flower mass close to the frame instead of letting it run loose. The result is an auto with more volume without turning unruly or coarse. Indoors it usually needs a bit more room than tighter compact autos, while outdoors it can express its longer frame more fully.
Sweet Seeds lists Cream Mandarine XL Auto as a fourth generation autoflower. Plants reach 110 to 150 cm and complete their full cycle in around 63 days from germination. The breeder reports 450 to 650 g per m² indoors and 50 to 300 g per plant outdoors.
In the aroma, mandarin remains the leading note. A sweet citrus layer follows, but it does not turn into a candy style profile. Instead, it stays brighter and slightly more exotic than heavier cream based lines. That mix of sweet citrus lift and fresh mandarin keeps the cultivar on its own path and gives the larger plant frame a matching aromatic direction.
The identity of the variety shows most clearly in the connection between XL auto growth and a defined mandarin signature. Some plants may finish a bit leaner, while others come out bushier, but the final picture stays clear: more height, many side branches, large flowers, and a sweet citrus expression with an exotic mandarin edge.
Cream Mandarine XL Auto received second place in the Indoor category at the I Copa de la Manzana in Río Negro, Argentina, in 2017.
