2018 was a smash-hit year for our Illuminautos; with all but one of those ten strains (so far!) added back into our catalogue through either our Limited Editions or Reserva lines, and Creme-Tasmo is the latest strain to get the Heinrich Kemmler treatment. Creme-Tasmo flew a little low under the radar on its initial release, struggling to contend with the heavy-hitting names of that year's drop such as Purple Nuggets, Ghost Toof and Jammy Dodgers. But she garnered a cult following, with multiple requests across socials to bring her back into the catalogue and, after a few ‘management meetings’ (I’m pretty sure it counts as that if it’s a Zoom call, right?) of us combing through the back catalogue and reminiscing on our favourite smokes, someone mentioning Creme-Tasmo was like a lightbulb moment. Just like Céline Dion taught us, there were moments of gold and there were flashes of light, it’s all coming back to us now. Creme-Tasmo retains the strength of smell and flavour of her Creme de la Chem parentage, with intense spice and fuel combined with the fragrant lemon-haze of her Fantasmo stock, she won’t be a sleeper hit this time, but a full-force Meat Loaf power-ballad remake.

Creme-Tasmo is the union of two Mephisto Genetics strains at opposite ends of the spectrum of growing and smoking options taken from our unique family of autoflowering strains. However, it doesn’t adulterate either parent strain, in fact, it makes a supremely tasty combination. Developing this strain from the initial F1 cross through to F3 we’ve been breeding to lock down a cultivar that produces a trainable and vigorous growth pattern taking more influence from the sativa nature of Fantasmo Express but also has the heavyset flower structure of our chubby chonkster girl Creme de la Chem. Taking influence from Sir Mix a-Lot’s description, Creme-Tasmo can certainly be put in the group of ‘baby got back’ from the Mephisto collection, her flowers get especially thick in late flower so make sure your ventilation game is on point. She develops a sweet danky perfume that intensifies throughout her grow cycle. Creme-Tasmo is a most excellent nominee for extraction work, as she coats her flowers in resin, often creating hash rails along fan leaf edges.
