Also known as: Double Cream Auto, Double Cream Autoflower

What is the Double Cream strain?

Double Cream is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and creamy flavor profile.

Double Cream is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by FastBuds, a prominent autoflowering seed breeder. The strain was created by crossing two legendary parent strains to produce a balanced hybrid with notable resin production and creamy flavor profile. It was specifically bred as an autoflowering variety, meaning it transitions from vegetative growth to flowering automatically based on age rather than light cycle changes, making it particularly suitable for novice growers or those seeking a relatively low-maintenance cultivation experience.

The strain is characterized by medium-sized plants with dense, resinous buds that exhibit a frosty appearance due to abundant trichome coverage. The flowers typically display a mix of deep green and purple hues, often with vibrant orange pistils. Double Cream plants tend to have a bushy structure with strong lateral branching, which contributes to their respectable yields. The name "Double Cream" references both the strain's creamy flavor profile and its double-layered resin production, which makes it popular among extract enthusiasts.

Notable features include its relatively short life cycle (typically 9-10 weeks from seed to harvest) and its adaptability to various growing conditions. While primarily developed as an autoflowering strain, some growers have reported success with photoperiod versions in certain markets. The strain has gained popularity in both recreational and medicinal cannabis communities for its balanced effects and user-friendly cultivation characteristics, though it remains more commonly available through specialized seed banks than in mainstream dispensaries.

How do you grow Double Cream?

Double Cream is considered a beginner-friendly strain with moderate difficulty. As an autoflowering variety, it has a fixed life cycle of approximately 9-10 weeks from seed to harvest. Plants typically reach heights of 80-120cm indoors and 100-140cm outdoors. Expected yields range from 400-550g/m² indoors and 50-150g per plant outdoors. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control. Preferred growing conditions include temperatures of 20-28°C (68-82°F) and moderate humidity levels. Special considerations include avoiding transplanting (autoflowers prefer to be started in their final containers) and providing consistent lighting throughout the growth cycle. The plants respond well to low-stress training techniques but should not be subjected to high-stress training methods due to their autoflowering nature.
