Auto Bus 13 by Dahood Urban Seeds
Sativa Photoperiod Line × Cannabis Ruderalis
Auto Bus 13 is an autoflowering, mostly sativa cannabis strain developed by DaHood Urban Seeds. It combines day-neutral flowering with an uplifting, sativa-leaning effect profile, designed for rapid, compact growth cycles. This strain is valued by growers for its predictable timing and by connoisseurs for its bright terpene profile.
Appearance
Auto Bus 13 typically exhibits a medium-tall stature, often reaching heights between 70–110 cm in indoor environments. It usually presents with longer internodal spacing and narrower leaflets, indicative of its sativa heritage. The plant often develops a strong central cola with symmetrical lateral branching. Its buds are calyx-forward and moderately dense, stacking along spears and showing prolific trichome coverage. Mature pistils can range from white to orange or red, and some phenotypes may display subtle lavender hues under cooler late-flowering temperatures.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Auto Bus 13 is characterized by bright, zesty notes, commonly featuring sweet citrus, pine, and floral herbal undertones. When buds are handled, a crisp scent reminiscent of fresh zest and mango may be noticeable. Upon inhalation, the flavor profile is typically clean and citrus-forward, with hints of pine and sweet herbs. Vaporizing at moderate temperatures accentuates lemon-lime and fresh green characteristics, while higher temperatures can reveal peppery and resinous wood notes.
Effects
This strain is known for its uplifting and energetic effects, leaning towards a cerebral experience characteristic of sativa-dominant genetics. The effects are generally described as forward and invigorating, providing a clean head sensation. Due to its sativa-leaning profile, it is often associated with promoting focus and providing an energetic boost.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific lab data for Auto Bus 13 is limited, its sativa-leaning profile suggests a terpene composition that includes monoterpenes such as terpinolene and limonene, potentially supported by beta-caryophyllene and ocimene. These contribute to its bright, citrusy, and herbal aroma and flavor. The reported THC content is approximately 5%, with CBD levels below 1%. Well-cultivated autoflowers can have terpene totals ranging from 1.5% to 3.5%.
Growing
As an autoflower, Auto Bus 13 initiates flowering based on plant age rather than light cycle, simplifying cultivation. It is known for its dependable and relatively fast seed-to-harvest cycle, typically completing within 70–90 days under optimal conditions. Growers may employ low-stress training (LST) and gentle defoliation to manage its medium-tall structure. Early root zone management and consistent growth in the initial weeks are critical for maximizing biomass and bud density.
Origins & Lineage
Auto Bus 13 was bred by DaHood Urban Seeds as an autoflowering, mostly sativa strain. The autoflowering trait is derived from Cannabis ruderalis genetics, integrated to ensure day-neutral flowering. Its sativa heritage suggests influence from sativa-dominant photoperiod lines, selected for vigorous growth, energetic effects, and complex terpene profiles. The development aimed to refine autoflowers to rival the quality of photoperiod classics.
