Auto Sour D
Auto Sour D
Also known as: Sour Diesel Auto, Autoflowering Sour Diesel, Original Auto Sour Diesel, Auto NYC Sour D
Overview
Auto Sour D is an autoflowering version of the legendary Sour Diesel strain, combining the iconic sativa-dominant genetics with ruderalis characteristics for automatic flowering. This strain maintains the classic diesel fuel aroma and energizing cerebral effects that made its photoperiod parent famous, while offering the convenience of faster harvest times. Developed by crossing elite Sour Diesel cuts with autoflowering genetics, Auto Sour D preserves the pungent, chemical-fuel terpene profile and sharp skunky-fuel aroma that defines the original.
The strain exhibits typical sativa-influenced growth patterns, reaching heights of 70-120cm indoors and up to 170cm outdoors. Plants display medium-sized internodal spacing with numerous side branches, producing elongated, dense buds with star-shaped calyxes behind a silver blanket of trichomes. The buds maintain the jagged, stacked structure typical of sativa cannabis, with lime green coloration and exceptional resin production. Auto Sour D has gained recognition among both commercial growers and hash makers for its reliable genetics, substantial yields of 450-550g/m² indoors, and preservation of the original strain's legendary effects in a faster-finishing package.

Growing Information
Auto Sour D is considered moderately easy to grow and suitable for growers of all experience levels. The strain completes its full cycle in 9-11 weeks from seed to harvest (70-80 days), with flowering occurring automatically without light cycle changes. Indoor plants typically reach 70-120cm in height, while outdoor specimens can grow 90-170cm tall. Expected yields range from 450-550g/m² indoors, with outdoor plants potentially producing up to 550g per plant under optimal conditions. The strain thrives in various climates, particularly warmer conditions, and shows good resistance to common pests and molds. Plants benefit from LST (Low Stress Training) for space management and increased yields. Auto Sour D requires standard cannabis nutrition during vegetative and flowering periods, with proper substrate quality being important for optimal terpene retention.
