Hybrid strain

Auto Diesel

Auto Diesel from CBD Seeds is an autoflowering variant based on Diesel. The breeder-related source describes a green citrus aroma with a distinctive fuel note, short broad leaves, and golden, later violet color accents. The complete cycle is said to take around 70 days and produce approximately 30 grams; neither figure is guaranteed.

Editorial profile

Auto Diesel in detail

Origin & classification

According to CBD Seeds, Auto Diesel was developed after three backcrosses with the aim of transferring the character of the original Diesel plant into an autoflowering format. The normalized lineage lists only Diesel, while the source describes the breeding process through backcrosses without precisely naming the additional genetic components. The strain is listed as Automatic and Hybrid. Further claims about its ancestry would therefore not be substantiated.

Aroma & flavor

The focus is a clearly identified Diesel profile: green citrus aroma combines with a distinct fuel smell, which also gives the strain its name. This creates a sharp, fresh and simultaneously mineral-fuel-like aromatic profile. Individual terpenes are not listed. The citrus component should therefore not automatically be attributed to limonene, nor the fuel note to a specific compound. The strength and weighting of the notes may vary between specimens.

Terpene profile

The plant description mentions short, broad leaves. Toward the end of the flowering cycle, the leaves are said to take on violet hues, while the flowers may show golden nuances. The specimens are also described as comparatively uniform. The source identifies this as an advantage for Sea-of-Green cultivation. These statements come from a breeder-related description and should be read as expected tendencies, not definitive characteristics of every plant.

Effect tendency

A timeframe of 70 days is given. The wording “in just 70 days” and the additional statement “Flowering: 70 days” do not make it entirely clear whether the entire life cycle or the flowering period is meant. With Automatic strains, this distinction must be clarified explicitly. Until then, it should only be described as a breeder-stated period of around 70 days. Production is given as approximately 30 grams, apparently per plant, although the reference frame is not explained beyond doubt.

Cannabinoids, flowering & appearance

According to the source, the effects are said to lean closer to the Sativa side despite the indica-like leaf shape. Specific descriptions of mood, body feel or intensity are absent. THC and CBD values are also undocumented, as is a terpene profile. Auto Diesel can therefore be portrayed primarily through its documented backcrossing approach, distinctive citrus-fuel aroma, described color accents and relatively uniform plant form. The time and yield figures require more thorough source verification before being entered as binding master data.
