Auto Deep Blue by Seedsman
Ruderalis × Indica × Sativa
Auto Deep Blue is an autoflowering hybrid developed by Seedsman, combining the desirable berry characteristics of Blue family genetics with the efficiency of ruderalis. This strain offers a balanced profile, suitable for both novice growers and experienced cultivators seeking a predictable and flavorful autoflowering experience.
Appearance
This hybrid typically reaches a manageable height of 60 to 100 cm indoors, featuring compact internodes and strong lateral branching that support dense, resinous colas. Under optimal conditions, particularly cooler night temperatures during late flowering, the buds and surrounding leaves can develop striking blue and violet hues due to anthocyanin expression. The buds are noted for their abundant trichome coverage, giving them a frosted appearance.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Auto Deep Blue is characterized by sweet blueberry and blackcurrant notes, often with a subtle floral undertone. A spicy, peppery scent, indicative of caryophyllene, adds complexity. Upon consumption, the flavor profile typically mirrors the aroma, starting with juicy blueberry and hints of pine, followed by a mild herbal spice that balances the sweetness. Citrus zest nuances may also be present, especially in well-grown specimens.
Effects
Auto Deep Blue is bred to provide a balanced effect, offering a soothing yet functional experience. Users often report a sense of calm, making it suitable for unwinding or relaxation without leading to excessive sedation. The strain's hybrid nature aims to moderate the intensity, providing a clear-headed relaxation that can be beneficial for managing everyday stress.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific percentages vary, Auto Deep Blue's terpene profile is reported to include myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, and pinene, contributing to its berry, citrus, pine, and spicy aromatic qualities. The THC content typically ranges from 15% to 25%, with CBD levels below 1%. This cannabinoid and terpene combination contributes to its balanced effects and complex sensory profile.
Growing
As an autoflowering strain, Auto Deep Blue is relatively easy to grow, making it suitable for beginners. It requires no specific light cycle changes to initiate flowering, typically transitioning around weeks three to four from germination and finishing in under 80 days. The plants maintain a manageable size, and while odor is discrete during vegetative growth, it intensifies during the flowering stage, necessitating ventilation in enclosed spaces. It shows potential for vibrant coloration when exposed to cooler temperatures late in bloom.
Origins & Lineage
Auto Deep Blue is a hybrid strain developed by Seedsman, incorporating genetics from ruderalis, indica, and sativa. The ruderalis component provides the autoflowering trait and resilience, while indica and sativa influences contribute to its balanced effects and sensory characteristics. While a precise pedigree is not disclosed, the strain clearly draws from the Blue family, reminiscent of strains like Blueberry, known for their distinct fruit-forward profiles.
