Where Black Cream Auto Comes From
Black Cream Auto comes from Sweet Seeds, the Spanish seed company known for its feminized and autoflowering lines. Both Leafly and the breeder listing on SeedFinder give the cross as Cream Caramel, one of Sweet Seeds’ best-known indicas, with a Pakistani Kush autoflower. SeedFinder records the auto parent as a Hindu Kush from Pakistan crossed with an unknown ruderalis, and Sweet Seeds describes it as an exotic, purple-flowering autoflower.
The purple trait carried through: the breeder says roughly nine in ten plants show purple flowers. The breeder data sheet puts the genetics at about 92% indica, 5% sativa and 3% ruderalis. Leafly also calls it indica-dominant and lists Devil Cream among its offspring. Like most autoflowers, it was built mainly for growers, so much of what is known comes from grow reports.
Black Cream Auto Effects: What It Feels Like
Sweet Seeds describes the effect as relaxing, calming and meditative, and a SeedFinder user reported relaxation in both body and mind. Leafly’s effect tags are creative, uplifted and happy, though the page also sums the strain up as mostly calming. Leafly reviewers add euphoric, focused and hungry, and several suggest it for evening use.
The picture is a pleasant, mood-lifting start that settles into body relaxation, with one Leafly reviewer noting it made them sleepy after easing pain. Leafly calls it a better fit for experienced consumers. If you are new, a small amount is enough to judge how heavy a given batch is.
Black Cream Auto Terpenes, Aroma and Flavor
Sweet Seeds describes a very sweet, fruity aroma with earthy undertones from Cream Caramel, and one SeedFinder grower likened an opened jar to fruit punch. Leafly’s flavor tags are woody, earthy and citrus, and its reviewers describe an earthy, chocolatey, strongly skunky smell with citrus in the background. One reviewer compared it to fruity breakfast cereal.
Neither source lists terpene lab data, so dominant terpenes are not documented here.
Side Effects and How to Use Black Cream Auto
Dry mouth is the main negative on Leafly. Some users report sleepiness, which fits its calming profile. One Leafly reviewer disliked the smoke flavor, so quality may vary by grower.

Growing Black Cream Auto
- Difficulty: Easy to moderate
- Flowering: About 56 days (autoflower)
- Yield: 350–550 g/m² indoors; 35–150 g per plant outdoors
- Height: 60–110 cm
- Environment: Indoor or outdoor
According to the Sweet Seeds data on SeedFinder, Black Cream Auto flowers in about 56 days and is ready roughly eight weeks into bloom, indoors or out, with no change in light schedule. Plants stay compact at 60 to 110 cm, with short internodes, many small branches, compact buds and a strong main cola, and they produce plenty of resin. The breeder lists 350 to 550 g per square meter indoors and 35 to 150 g per plant outdoors, and a Leafly reviewer said it did well in both settings. Its short cycle can help Pacific Northwest growers finish before the autumn rains, though dense buds still need airflow.
Home-grow rules depend on the state: adults can grow at home in states such as California (six plants per residence), Michigan (12 per residence) and Oregon (four per household), while Washington and Illinois allow home growing only for registered medical patients. Check your state in our cannabis laws by state guide before you plant anything.
