More About the El Diablo OG Auto Strain
Diablo OG Auto, sometimes called El Diablo OG Auto, has a vibe that is more bright and heady than heavy, with a 60:40 sativa-to-indica lean that brings clear-headed euphoria and a steady, moderate body buzz that doesn’t totally steal the spotlight.
This cultivar traces back to OG Kush, with Blueberry, Grapefruit, and an unknown African plant in the mix. The flavor tends to skew earthy with a sharp grapefruit note, paired with a pungent, plant-forward aroma. Buds usually show a medium green look, nothing too wild on the color spectrum.
THC can reach around 20%, with CBD typically under 1%, so it’s a better fit for folks chasing a classic THC-forward experience.
Growing Tips for Diablo Auto
Diablo Auto is a difficult strain to grow if you don’t have any prior experience cultivating cannabis plants. Diablo Auto marijuana plants will thrive indoors and outdoors, but have an easier time growing indoors because of the ability to completely control the climate. If you choose to grow indoors, you will have to replicate a steady environment similar to the climate of the Mediterranean.
Diablo Auto cannabis seeds produce plants with smaller buds. The vibrant green and purple you see in this plant are due to the trichomes and pistils that cover the buds and leaves. If you choose to grow outdoors, you will need to hope for consistent temperature and humidity to grow these plants to completion. Doing so will ensure that you grow healthy buds from the top of the plants to the buds closest to the soil. Having access to a greenhouse is the best way to give these plants the perfect outdoor climate without having to put up with unexpected outdoor variables. These plants grow to a small to medium height and can reach around 1.5-5 feet tall. Because the plants reach a maximum indoor and outdoor height of 5 feet, you can grow multiple plants in a smaller grow area, ultimately increasing your yields.
The ideal temperature for these plants is around 68-77 degrees Fahrenheit and slightly cooler at night. Humidity levels should be kept around 40-65% during the vegetative growth stage and the flowering stage, but lowering the humidity every week will help this plant grow. Growing indoors will ensure that the moderate humidity levels and moderate temperatures are consistent and maintained every day that the plants are in the growing stages.
Screen of Green (ScrOG), Sea of Green (SOG), and Low-stress training (LST) methods are the most beneficial methods for this strain. If performed correctly, these techniques will help to increase the overall yields and improve bud production. The Screen of Green method reinforces the heaviest buds so that they don’t bend or break the limbs they grow on.
The Diablo Auto strain requires an 18-hour light cycle to reach the vegetative stage of growth. Because this strain is autoflowering, it does not require a change in the light cycle to induce the flowering stage of growth.
Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Diablo Auto strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 50-60 days.
- Yields: While Indoor yields are around 200 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 200 grams per plant. While these yields are smaller than average, you can increase them by growing multiple plants in a smaller grow area.
- Harvest: Outdoor growers can plan on harvesting their yields around the beginning of October, depending on when the seeds were planted.
Diablo Auto: Herbal, Spicy, and Sweet
The Diablo Auto cannabis strain terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes, and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while limonene and myrcene are the secondary terpenes.
- Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – Known in the cannabis world as the “spicy” and “peppery” terpene, caryophyllene can be found in cloves and black pepper.
- Limonene: Secondary Terpene – Commonly found in the rinds of citrus fruits such as lemons, oranges, and limes.
- Myrcene: Mother of All Terpenes – Myrcene can be found in cannabis plants, is responsible for the strain’s earthy taste and aroma.
