Cookies and Cream Autoflower
Also known as: Cookies n Cream Auto, Cream Cookies Auto, Cookies & Cream Auto
Overview
Cookies and Cream Autoflower is a hybrid cannabis strain that was first bred by combining Girl Scout Cookies and Starfighter genetics, with additional autoflowering genetics incorporated. This autoflowering version typically features genetics from Girl Scout Cookies x Starfighter x Northern Lights Auto (or ruderalis genetics). The original Cookies and Cream strain won first place in the hybrid category of the 2014 Denver Cannabis Cup, establishing its reputation for quality and consistency.
The strain is indica-dominant with approximately 60% indica and 40% sativa genetics, offering users a well-balanced experience. These compact autoflowering plants typically reach heights of 60-100cm (2-3 feet), making them ideal for limited space cultivation or discreet outdoor growing. The buds display a mossy green color with purple hues and amber pistils, covered in a thick layer of trichomes that gives them a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds are rock hard, soaked in resin and often have a crystalline sheen due to the abundant trichomes.
The strain exhibits a sweet, creamy flavor profile with notes of vanilla, chocolate, and nutty earthiness. Users experience a sugary taste with nutty earthiness on the inhale that transitions into a sweet vanilla aftertaste on the exhale. The autoflowering version has a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest, making it significantly faster than photoperiod varieties.

Growing Information
Cookies and Cream Autoflower is considered beginner-friendly and suitable for both novice and experienced growers. The strain has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest. Indoor and outdoor yields can reach 400-500g/m², with some sources reporting 50-200 grams per plant outdoors. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor setups thanks to its autoflowering nature, with indoor growers finding compact plants that respond well to various light cycles. Optimal temperature ranges are 70-80°F (21-27°C) with humidity around 40-50% during flowering. The strain benefits from warm or Mediterranean-like climates for outdoor cultivation. Unlike photoperiod strains, autoflowers don't need specific light schedules to flower, with 18/6 or 20/4 light cycles recommended for high yields.
