Growing Tips for Cream Auto
First-time growers are going to love how easy the Cream Auto strain is to cultivate. Cream Auto marijuana plants will thrive indoors and outdoors, but have an easier time growing indoors because of the ability to completely control the climate. If you choose to grow indoors, you will have to replicate a steady environment similar to the climate of the Mediterranean. Cream Auto cannabis seeds grow into vibrant green plants with loads of crystal resin trichomes and yellow pistils littering the surface of the buds and leaves. If you choose to grow outdoors, you will need to hope for consistent temperature and humidity to grow these plants to completion. Doing so will ensure that you grow healthy buds from the top of the plants to the buds closest to the soil. Having access to a greenhouse is the best way to give these plants the perfect outdoor climate without having to put up with unexpected outdoor variables. These plants grow to a short height and can reach around 2-3.5 feet tall. Because the plants reach a maximum indoor and outdoor height of 3.5 feet, they will fit nicely in smaller grow areas. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 65-85 degrees Fahrenheit and slightly cooler at night. Humidity levels should be kept around 35-70% during the vegetative growth stage and the flowering stage, but lowering the humidity every week will help this plant grow. Growing indoors will ensure that the moderate humidity levels and moderate temperatures are constant and maintained every day that the plants are in the growing stages. Topping, High-stress training (HST), and low-stress training (LST) methods will help these plants grow to their full potential. These methods help control the canopy of the plants so that light and air reach the lower levels. The Cream Auto strain requires an 18-hour light cycle to reach the vegetative stage of growth. You do not need to change the light cycle of this strain to induce the flowering stage and get it all the way to harvest.
Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Cream Auto strain to harvest after a super short flowering period of 45-55 days.
- Yields: While Indoor yields are around 400 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 300 grams per plant. You can grow multiple plants at a time in a smaller area to increase these yields exponentially.
- Harvest: Outdoor growers can plan on harvesting their yields around the end of September, depending on when the seeds were planted.
Cream Auto: Sweet and Creamy
The Cream Auto cannabis strain terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes, and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while humulene, myrcene, and limonene are the secondary terpenes.
- Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – This spicy and peppery terpene can be found in cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, and some cannabis cultivars.
- Humulene: Secondary Terpene – Commonly found in beer with higher hop content, this terpene gives cannabis an earthy fragrance and flavor.
- Myrcene: Secondary Terpene – Known in the plant world as the “Mother of all terpenes”, myrcene gives cannabis plants their earthy fragrance and taste.
- Limonene: Sweet Citrus – Found mostly in the rinds of citrus fruits, this terpene is what gives cannabis plants their citrus flavor and aroma.
Compact, sturdy, basically the ideal plant.
Such an easy, compact grow. The yellow pistils are such a fun detail.
No fuss, just caramel and calm.
Vibrant green, heavily resinous, and genuinely one of the easier plants I’ve grown.
Compact, easy, one nitrogen hiccup. Fine.
Oscillating fan through the canopy kept things mold-free the whole grow, genuinely useful tip.
Ran an oscillating fan straight into the canopy this round on a tip I’d read somewhere, pulled a few leaves around week three, and basically had the smoothest grow of my season, no mold, no drama, just steady progress. The one hiccup was, predictably, nitrogen, fed a little too long into flower and got some tip discoloration before switching to bloom nutrients sorted it out. Buds finished vibrant green and resin-coated, yellow pistils everywhere instead of the usual orange, and the smell is a genuinely great sweet caramel with a spicy kick that mellows into something creamier after curing. First smoke was calm and steady, no complaints, minor pruning shears and a nutrient bottle required.
Nitrogen timing is the main variable; correct promptly once pistils appear.
Did a light defoliation around three weeks into flower to open up the interior, and the bud sites filled in noticeably more evenly afterward. Compact, easy structure overall, and the cured aroma is this lovely sweet caramel-and-cream combination with a spicy undertone.
Short, compact, mildly demanding about nutrient timing, otherwise the easiest plant in my tent this round. Yellow pistils, resin everywhere, sweet caramel cure. Ten out of ten, easily.
