Black Diamond Automatic
Also known as: Black Diamond Auto, Auto Black Diamond
What is the Black Diamond Automatic strain?
Black Diamond Automatic is a indica cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and earthy flavor profile.
Black Diamond Automatic is an autoflowering cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular Black Diamond photoperiod strain with a robust autoflowering genetic line. The original Black Diamond strain is believed to be a cross between Diamond OG and Blackberry, though specific breeding details for the automatic version are less documented. This strain was created to combine the desirable characteristics of the photoperiod Black Diamond with the convenience and speed of autoflowering genetics, making it accessible to growers of various experience levels.
The strain is characterized by its dense, resinous buds that display a striking color palette ranging from deep forest green to dark purple hues, often with vibrant orange pistils. The name 'Black Diamond' references both the strain's dark coloration and its high potency. The automatic flowering trait means plants transition from vegetative growth to flowering based on age rather than light cycle changes, allowing for faster harvests and simpler cultivation compared to photoperiod strains.
Notable features include its compact structure, making it suitable for discreet growing, and its relatively short life cycle of approximately 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest. The strain has gained popularity among both home growers and consumers for its balanced effects and manageable cultivation requirements, though comprehensive historical documentation about its specific breeding timeline and original breeders remains limited.

How do you grow Black Diamond Automatic?
Black Diamond Automatic is considered a beginner-friendly strain with moderate difficulty. The autoflowering genetics allow for a complete life cycle of approximately 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest. Plants typically reach heights of 60-100 cm (24-40 inches) indoors and slightly taller outdoors. Expected yields range from 300-450 grams per square meter indoors or 30-100 grams per plant outdoors, depending on growing conditions.
This strain performs well both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows for better environmental control. It prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors with temperatures between 20-28°C (68-82°F). The compact structure makes it suitable for Sea of Green (SOG) growing methods and limited spaces. Special considerations include avoiding transplanting (autoflowers prefer to be started in their final containers) and providing consistent lighting of 18-20 hours daily throughout the growth cycle. The plants are moderately resistant to common pests and molds but benefit from good air circulation.
