Description
Diesel Auto seeds
Diesel Auto seeds carry the fuel-forward NYC Diesel profile in an autoflowering format, crossed with Cannabis ruderalis so that the cycle is fixed by plant age rather than by light. It is one of the older automatic diesel lines and one of the more moderate in reported potency.
In short: Diesel Auto is an autoflowering sativa-leaning hybrid, typically listed at 40% sativa / 30% indica / 30% ruderalis, with reported THC potential of up to 14% and the pungent diesel, citrus and fruit aroma that defines the family.
Diesel Auto genetics and lineage
NYC Diesel, a Sour Diesel x Afghani/Hawaiian line from Soma Seeds, supplies the sharp fuel aroma with its characteristic grapefruit and tropical-fruit edge. The ruderalis parent contributes the automatic flowering trait and the compact structure; the trade-off, as with most early autoflowers, is a lower reported THC ceiling than the photoperiod original.

Diesel Auto aroma, flavour and terpene profile
The aroma is pungent fuel and diesel with citrus and fruit over an earthy base. Terpene references most often cite myrcene, caryophyllene and limonene.
Flavour descriptions mirror it: diesel and citrus first, a fruity middle, and a chemical, earthy finish. It reads as a lighter, fruitier take on the diesel family than Sour Diesel.
