Seb's take
A Tyson 2.0 collaboration crossing NY Diesel with Sour Diesel Auto, keeping the family's energetic spirit in a faster, more compact frame. Fruity diesel and citrus on the nose; the high opens with euphoria and mental lift before easing into a relaxation that stays balanced rather than frantic. Strong yields for an autoflower, with careful training.
Where it comes from
A Tyson 2.0 collaboration from Royal Queen Seeds, crossing NY Diesel with Sour Diesel Auto to keep the family's energetic spirit in a faster, more compact frame. The record puts the profile at 70% sativa with a touch of Ruderalis, which explains both the drive and the self-flowering habit. A well-pedigreed diesel line, brought under a famous name and an autoflowering schedule. The Sour Diesel character, on a shorter clock.
Nose & flavour
Fruity and diesel-forward, with citrus lifting it — the Sour Diesel heritage supplying the fuel and the fruit keeping it bright. A pungent, lively nose that does not travel discreetly. In keeping with the energetic character of the plant, the aroma reads sharp and awake rather than heavy. A recognisable diesel profile with a fruit-and-citrus edge.
The high
It opens with euphoria and a mental lift before easing into a physical relaxation that stays balanced rather than frantic — the sativa share leading, the small indica half keeping it grounded. At 21% THC with low CBD, there is genuine substance behind the lift. A bright, expressive effect that settles without sinking. Good company for a busy afternoon that mellows toward evening.
Growing it
Light-footed in structure and practical in size at 80 to 100cm — a strong fit for a small space, with enough sativa drive to stay expressive. Flowering runs a longer 75 to 90 days, the sativa lean asking its price in patience, and yields land at a solid 450 to 500 g/m², notably strong for an autoflower with careful training. Give her the time and a bit of shaping, and she repays both. A rewarding, compact diesel for the patient grower.
