The Orange Cream Dream Grow

So first off, THANK YOU to the generous folks at Sweet Seeds for providing me with four Cream Mandarine XL Autoflowering seeds. I have really enjoyed being able to grow and showcase this strain for everyone on Grow Diaries and elsewhere in the world to see. This was an easy strain to grow from start to finish with only minor issues caused by an aggressive strain of Powdery Mildew accidentally brought in from an infected outdoor summer grow. All four plants were healthy and robust from day one with a massive pre-flower stretch accounting for a significant potion of their overall height and size. This strain would be ideal for topping or training and I will be doing both in future when I grow the Cream Mandarine XL again. The plants grew almost exactly as the breeder describes on their website and the final product (although still uncured) is excellent. The buds are dense, heavy and absolutely covered in trichomes. My only negative with this grow is the low final weight of all four plants. I know that I would have had a much heavier harvest had the Powdery Mildew not gotten into the tent. But the cross contamination was my fault as the genetics of this strain are pretty much perfect. This is a hardcore Sativa smokers dream- easy to grow, tastes like a smooth citrus explosion and it gets you really high for hours from just a few puffs. I have included a series of photos above showing the plants’ growth from Weeks 1-10 including the harvest for the last two plants. The final two plants were thoroughly flushed with PH’d, air bubbled water resulting in a final product that any grower would be proud of. Thank you to Sweet Seeds once again for the opportunity to grow and show your genetics to the Cannabis Community. I only give credit where credit is due and your Cream Mandarine XL Autoflowering strain has lived up to it’s legendary reputation in my opinion. Making Sweet Seeds a safe and reliable choice when choosing a seed breeder and spending your hard earned money. I gave this strain an 8 out of 10 only because I prefer an Indica high otherwise making the Sweet Seeds Cream Mandarine XL Auto’s a “must try” for all growers looking to get really wasted- in a good way! 🤪
