Are you tired of waiting months just to see results?

Most photoperiod strains demand 12+ weeks of careful attention before you even think about harvest. If you’re stuck in a cycle of planning, waiting, and hoping, you’re not just wasting time—you’re missing out on the joy of growing.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I’ve grown a lot of autos, but Cream Mandarine Auto® stands out. When I first tried it, I was skeptical—another citrus strain? But the moment it hit flowering, the room filled with this rich, tangy mandarin-citrus aroma that reminded me of summer in Valencia. The buds were dense, frosty, and turned deep purple on some plants. I didn’t do anything fancy—just basic LST and a solid feed schedule. For beginners, I’d say: this is your gateway to high-quality bud without the hassle. For experts? It’s a reliable, fast-turnaround strain that’s perfect for testing new nutrients or techniques. I’ve used it in SOG setups with great results, and the flavor after curing is next level. If you want a strain that’s easy, fast, and actually tastes amazing, this is it.
