Also known as: Cream Candy Auto
Overview
Candy Cream Auto is an indica-dominant autoflowering hybrid cannabis strain that was developed in Europe in 2010 by renowned seed banks in Amsterdam. This strain is a unique cross of three prominent cannabis varieties - Blue Black, Maple Leaf Indica, and White Rhino - blended with Ruderalis genetics to ensure its automatic flowering capabilities. The strain carries the legacy of champion genetics, including influences from White Widow, Mazar, and Afghan Kush genetics through its parent lineage.
The strain produces compact, dense buds that are heavily coated with crystalline trichomes and orange pistils, creating a visually striking appearance with vibrant green shades enhanced by a sugary coating of resin. Candy Cream Auto displays typical indica structure with short, bushy plants that rarely exceed 3.6 feet in height, making it well-suited for small grow spaces. The buds emit a distinctive sweet caramel aroma with earthy undertones, reflecting its rich genetic heritage. This autoflowering variety combines the potency and rich flavors of its parent strains while offering the convenience and ease of cultivation that comes with ruderalis genetics.
As a predominantly indica strain with 80% indica and 20% sativa genetics, Candy Cream Auto delivers a well-balanced effect profile that begins with cerebral euphoria and transitions into deep physical relaxation. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients due to its therapeutic potential and pleasant flavor profile, establishing itself as a standout choice in the autoflowering cannabis market.

Growing Information
Candy Cream Auto is considered beginner-friendly and moderately easy to grow with hardy, robust characteristics. The strain has an accelerated life cycle of 60-65 days from germination to harvest, with a total growing period of 8-10 weeks. Plants remain compact at 40-90 cm (16-35 inches) in height, making them ideal for small indoor spaces. Indoor yields range from 350-500 g/m², while outdoor plants can produce 35-100 grams per plant. The strain displays high resistance to pests and diseases and can be cultivated indoors, outdoors, or in greenhouses year-round due to its autoflowering nature. It thrives in various growing mediums including soil, hydroponic setups, and coco coir. The strain responds well to Sea of Green (SOG) technique but should avoid high-stress training methods like topping due to its limited autoflower lifespan.
