Auto Chocolate Cream by 00 Seeds Bank
Chocolate Cream × Cannabis Ruderalis
Auto Chocolate Cream is an autoflowering indica strain developed by 00 Seeds Bank. It is a rapid-flowering cultivar designed to offer the rich sensory profile of its photoperiod parent in a more accessible, day-neutral format. This strain is recognized for its dessert-leaning characteristics and ease of cultivation.
Appearance
This strain typically presents a compact to medium stature, with indoor plants often ranging from 60 to 90 cm. It develops a prominent central cola supported by several productive lateral branches, creating a symmetrical plant structure. The leaves are broad, indicative of its indica heritage, and the internodal spacing remains relatively tight. As it matures, the flowers form dense, stacked clusters, often described as golf-ball-sized, which coalesce into chunky colas. Abundant trichome coverage gives the buds a frosted appearance, with glandular capitate-stalked heads being dominant. Mature flowers display olive and lime green hues, with amber pistils, and may develop faint purple tints on sugar leaves under cooler temperatures.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma is characterized by a pronounced chocolate-forward scent, often compared to milk chocolate or cocoa powder, layered with sweet cream notes. Underlying this are hints of earth, toasted nuts, and vanilla, contributing to a confectionary bouquet. Upon curing, the chocolate notes can deepen towards a darker cacao nib profile, sometimes accompanied by subtle coffee or roasted malt nuances. Grinding the buds releases more herbal and spicy undertones. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, presenting semi-sweet chocolate with notes of light earth and nut husk. Vaporization can accentuate the creamy sweetness and chocolate impression, while combustion may add a toasted edge. Secondary flavors include cedar and pepper, with a lingering mocha and vanilla wafer finish on the exhale.
Effects
Auto Chocolate Cream is reported to provide a relaxing experience, stemming from its indica genetic influence. The strain is noted for a mild cerebral clarity, which balances the physical relaxation without being overly sedating. This combination of effects makes it suitable for unwinding. The presence of terpenes like myrcene and caryophyllene contributes to its calming properties.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
THC levels in Auto Chocolate Cream typically range from 15% to 25%, while CBD content is generally below 1%. Key terpenes identified in this strain include Myrcene, Caryophyllene, and Humulene. Myrcene is known for its earthy and relaxing qualities, Caryophyllene offers spicy and peppery notes and may contribute to physical comfort, and Humulene adds woody and herbal characteristics.
Growing
Developed by 00 Seeds Bank, Auto Chocolate Cream is positioned as an easy-to-grow autoflowering strain, suitable for novice cultivators. Its ruderalis heritage makes it less sensitive to light cycles and shortens its vegetative period. The plant has a relatively fast life cycle, typically maturing from seed to harvest in approximately 60 to 75 days. It generally stays compact, making it well-suited for indoor grows, including small tents. The strain is known for its reliable finish before autumn in temperate climates, which aids in mold prevention.
Origins & Lineage
Auto Chocolate Cream is an autoflowering variant of the original Chocolate Cream, created by 00 Seeds Bank. It was developed by crossing the Chocolate Cream with a Cannabis ruderalis donor to introduce the day-neutral, autoflowering trait. The genetic makeup combines ruderalis, indica, and sativa influences, with the indica side contributing to plant structure and resin density, while the sativa side adds a mild cerebral clarity. The breeding objective focused on preserving the dessert-like aroma and relaxing effects of the parent strain within a compressed, rapid life cycle.
