Cream Mandarine Auto by Sweet Seeds

Cream Mandarine Auto is all about citrus. Sweet Seeds selected an unusually productive Cream Caramel Auto plant with a sweet mandarin orange aroma, then pushed that citrus even further with an elite NYC Diesel clone. The result finishes about 9 weeks after germination.

Many plants pick up purple and reddish tones at the end of flowering, adding color to buds that already smell like a fruit stand. THC is listed at 18–20% with 1.0% CBD.

Plants stay at 50–110 cm (20–43 in) while delivering 400–550 g/m² (1.31–1.80 oz/ft²) indoors and 45–170 g (1.6–6.0 oz) per plant outdoors, a strong return from a compact, fast autoflower.

Lineage: Cream Caramel Auto × NYC Diesel

Cream Mandarine Auto (SWS29) is a third-generation autoflower. Its base is a special Cream Caramel Auto (SWS22) line that stood out for high production and mandarin-type citrus aromas. Sweet Seeds crossed it with an elite clone of its NYC Diesel (SWS06) to reinforce that orange character.

The genetics settle at 60% Indica, 36.9% Sativa and 3.1% Ruderalis. Sweet Seeds notes that the strain was included in Ed Rosenthal’s 2019 list of the top 19 indicas in the world.

Aroma, Flavor and Effect

The nose is sweet mandarin and tangy citrus peel, backed by ripe berries and a clear sweet-and-sour bite. The NYC Diesel heritage adds a sharp, sour edge that keeps the sweetness from feeling flat.

Each draw tastes like peeling a cold mandarin over a bowl of mixed berries: juicy, tart and bright, with the sour notes hanging on after the exhale.

Sweet Seeds lists the effect as psychoactive, creative, stimulating, happy and relaxing. Expect an energetic, cheerful start that sparks ideas, followed by a mellow, comfortable calm as the session winds down. Late afternoons and social evenings suit it well.

Growing Cream Mandarine Auto Indoors and Outdoors

As an autoflower, Cream Mandarine Auto needs no 12/12 switch. Run 18/6 or 20/4 the whole way through and expect harvest about 9 weeks after germination. Start seeds in the final container to keep growth uninterrupted.

Indoors, gentle LST in the early weeks helps the plant spread out and fill a tent evenly, setting up a harvest of 400–550 g/m² (1.31–1.80 oz/ft²). Watch for the color shift late in bloom; slightly cooler nights during the final weeks can bring out the purple and red tones.

Outdoors, it suits sunny balconies and gardens after the last frost. Plants reach 50–110 cm (20–43 in) and return 45–170 g (1.6–6.0 oz) per plant, and the quick cycle allows a spring and a summer crop in many climates.
