Auto Diesel Mass by Mr Hide Seeds
Diesel × Mass Line × Cannabis Ruderalis
Auto Diesel Mass is a hybrid autoflowering cultivar developed by Mr. Hide Seeds, originating from Spain. It is bred to combine a strong diesel aroma with the high-yielding characteristics of Mass lines, while offering the convenience of an autoflowering life cycle. This strain is recognized for its compact structure and potent sensory profile.
Appearance and Morphology
Auto Diesel Mass typically grows to a squat or medium-short height, usually between 60-100 cm indoors. It features tight internodes, leading to dense, conical buds with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio. The plant exhibits an indica-leaning structure with medium-width leaves and a dominant central cola, though lateral branching can be productive with adequate light. Buds display lime to forest-green colors, with mature stigmas turning auburn, and are covered in a substantial layer of trichomes.
Stems are sturdy, capable of supporting the weight of dense colas, though staking or trellising may be beneficial in late flower. Some phenotypes may show subtle anthocyanin coloration in cooler temperatures, but the primary visual characteristic is the frosted appearance of the resin-coated buds.
Aroma and Flavor
The aroma of Auto Diesel Mass is characterized by a dominant diesel fuel scent, accented with bright citrus notes such as lemon rind, grapefruit, and orange zest. Underlying these are peppery, woody, and faintly herbal base notes, contributing to a complex olfactory profile. The intensity of the aroma necessitates effective odor control in enclosed growing spaces.
The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, beginning with a zesty, lemon-lime snap and bitter grapefruit pith on the inhale, transitioning to fuel and black pepper notes on the exhale. A subtle woody sweetness, potentially from caryophyllene and humulene, emerges with warmth. Vaporization at moderate temperatures highlights the citrus, while higher temperatures or combustion intensify the diesel tang.
Effects
While specific effects are not detailed in the source notes, the strain is described as a mostly indica expression. This typically suggests a profile that leans towards relaxation rather than intense stimulation. The combination of indica structure and ruderalis genetics for autoflowering points to a balanced experience.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
Auto Diesel Mass is reported to contain approximately 20% THC and less than 1% CBD. The terpene profile is noted for its prominent Limonene, contributing to the citrus top notes, and Caryophyllene and Humulene, which are associated with the peppery and woody undertones.
Growing Characteristics
This cultivar is an autoflower, meaning it flowers based on age rather than light cycle, allowing for harvests in under three months. It is known for being compact and productive, suitable for growers seeking high yields in smaller spaces or with tight schedules. The plant's indica-leaning structure and sturdy stems contribute to its manageability.
The Mass component of its lineage promotes dense bud development, while the ruderalis genetics ensure the autoflowering trait. It is considered a dependable candidate for indoor grows, such as small tents, and outdoor cultivation. The strain is noted for its strong aroma, requiring odor mitigation in indoor environments.
Origins and Lineage
Auto Diesel Mass was developed by Mr. Hide Seeds in Spain, a breeder known for compact, flavorful autoflowers. It is a hybrid resulting from crossing a diesel-forward strain with a high-yielding Mass line, stabilized with Cannabis ruderalis for autoflowering. The diesel heritage is thought to trace back to genetics like NYC Diesel and Sour Diesel, while the Mass component echoes strains such as Critical Mass, known for bud density.
The goal of the breeding program was to capture the distinct diesel aroma and flavor while achieving significant bud production in a manageable, fast-flowering autoflowering plant. The ruderalis influence is integrated to ensure the automatic flowering trait without compromising potency or sensory characteristics.
