Caramel Creme Auto brings Humboldt Seed Company’s Mega-Hunt-winning Caramel Cream terpenes into a fast, light-independent plant. The photoperiod mother stood out from roughly 10,000 plants in the breeder’s 2018 Phenotype Mega-Hunt, and this autoflower carries forward the same salted caramel and cream profile with a fuel finish, all in about 70–90 days from seed.
Listed at 60% Indica / 40% Sativa, it delivers a strong, uplifting effect with a warm body undertone. The line is built from Caramel Cream x Caramel Cream Auto x Sour Apple Auto, combining the dessert character of the original selection with dependable autoflowering genetics.
Like the photoperiod version, Caramel Creme Auto belongs to the breeder’s farm- and gardener-friendly line, with selection pressure on growth, bud structure and resistance to disease, pests and mold. It needs no light switch: run it under 18/6 or 20/4 from start to finish for a high-terpene harvest on a short schedule.
Caramel Creme Auto Lineage and Breeding
Humboldt Seed Company bred Caramel Creme Auto from Caramel Cream x Caramel Cream Auto x Sour Apple Auto. Crossing the Mega-Hunt photoperiod back into an existing Caramel Cream Auto keeps the terpene identity front and center, while Sour Apple Auto reinforces the autoflowering trait and quick finish.
The breeder lists the generation as S1 x Bx4. The S1 side comes from selfing a chosen plant to lock in its traits, and the Bx4 side reflects four rounds of backcrossing toward the target profile. Together they aim for consistent caramel terpenes and predictable autoflower timing from seed.
Caramel Creme Auto Aroma, Flavor and Effect
The aroma leads with rich, salty caramel, sweet but with enough salt to feel savory. A nutty layer and a touch of fuel sit underneath, and the high terpene content means the scent hangs around in the room and the jar for a long time.
On the palate it’s like caramel drizzled over warm asphalt after a summer storm: creamy and decadent up front, then a sharp fuel finish that cuts the sweetness. That contrast keeps each pull interesting instead of turning into a flat sugar profile.
The breeder describes the effect as strong and uplifting. The mind brightens and the mood climbs, while the 60% indica side brings a steady, comfortable body feel. It suits afternoon or early evening sessions for experienced consumers. Reported THC is around 25%, so take it slow the first time.
Growing Caramel Creme Auto Indoors and Outdoors
Indoors, keep the lights at 18/6 or 20/4 from germination to harvest; no flip is needed. Start seeds directly in the final container to avoid transplant setbacks and keep feeding light in the first weeks. The indica-leaning frame stays manageable in tents with limited height, and the full cycle runs about 70–90 days from seed.
Gentle low-stress training early on opens the canopy and gives the side branches more light. Skip topping once flowering starts, since autos have little time to recover. Steady airflow and moderate humidity in late bloom help the dense buds finish clean, backed by the line’s selection for mold resistance.
Outdoors, Caramel Creme Auto is a strong fit for patios, balconies and small backyard beds. Plant once nights are reliably warm, give it full sun and well-draining soil, and expect a summer harvest. In many US regions there’s room for a second sowing before fall, a big advantage over the October-finishing photoperiod.
