Cream Mandarine Auto by Sweet Seeds
Man, if you've been messing with autoflowers over the last decade, you've probably run into Cream Mandarine Auto from Sweet Seeds. Back when autos were still fighting for respect, Sweet Seeds dropped this 3rd-generation auto and turned a lot of heads. They took their heavy-hitting Cream Caramel Auto and hit it with an elite clone of Ice Cool. The result? A fast-finishing, indica-heavy hybrid that practically bleeds resin and reeks of sharp citrus.
In the tent, she usually wraps up in about 9 weeks from a sprouted seed. You don't need to baby her too much. Most phenos stay fairly squat—maybe peaking around a meter tall—but they stack dense, sticky nugs that smell exactly like peeling a fresh mandarin orange. As she pushes into late flower, especially if your night temps drop a bit, a lot of growers report seeing gorgeous purple and reddish hues creeping into the sugar leaves and calyxes.
Hop on forums like Reddit's autoflower communities or UK420, and you'll see plenty of logs praising her structure. She throws out excellent side-branching, meaning you can pull down some serious weight (up to 550g/m² indoors) without needing to go crazy with LST or scrogging. Sweet Seeds even released an "XL" version later because growers just couldn't get enough of that sweet, old-school citrus terp profile.

Growing Cream Mandarine Auto: what to expect
Because Cream Mandarine Auto is an autoflower it runs on age, not photoperiod: keep it under 18–20 hours of light from sprout to harvest, start in its final pot, and go easy on training after week 3 — autos never pause to recover. Growers familiar with Ice Cool or Cream Caramel Auto will recognize much of its behavior. Whatever the listing says, the cut in YOUR tent is the ground truth: log feedings, readings, and photos, and let the trends — not the label — drive decisions.
