West Coast Diesel Auto
Also known as: WCD Auto, West Coast Diesel Automatic
West Coast Diesel Auto Strain Overview
West Coast Diesel Auto is an autoflowering cannabis strain that combines the genetics of classic West Coast Diesel with ruderalis genetics to create a fast-growing, photoperiod-independent variety. The strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to combine the desirable effects and flavors of West Coast Diesel with the convenience and resilience of autoflowering plants. This development allowed growers in various climates to cultivate a Diesel variant without strict light cycle requirements, expanding accessibility to this popular genetic lineage.
The plant typically displays characteristics common to Diesel varieties, with dense, resinous buds that exhibit a classic conical structure. The flowers often show a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that may appear in cooler temperatures, complemented by fiery orange pistils. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, indicative of the strain's potency. The autoflowering nature results in a more compact plant structure compared to its photoperiod counterparts, making it suitable for discreet cultivation or limited space gardens.
Notable features include its relatively short life cycle of 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest and its ability to flower regardless of light schedule changes. The strain maintains the distinctive fuel-like aroma characteristic of Diesel varieties while incorporating some citrus and earthy notes from its genetic background. Breeders have emphasized stability in the autoflowering conversion, resulting in consistent phenotypes that reliably express the desired traits of the original West Coast Diesel while offering the cultivation advantages of autoflowering genetics.

West Coast Diesel Auto Strain Growing Information
West Coast Diesel Auto is considered a moderate-difficulty strain suitable for growers with some experience. The autoflowering genetics allow for a complete life cycle of approximately 8-10 weeks from seed to harvest. Indoor growers can expect yields of 350-450 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants typically produce 40-80 grams per plant. The strain performs well both indoors and outdoors, with indoor cultivation allowing better environmental control. Plants remain relatively compact, usually reaching 80-120 cm in height, making them suitable for space-limited grows or stealth gardens. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures (20-26°C) and avoiding overwatering, as autoflowers have limited recovery time. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with sensitivity to overfeeding. The strain exhibits good resistance to common molds and pests, benefiting from its ruderalis heritage. Growers should avoid high-stress training techniques and instead employ low-stress training for optimal results.
