Black Dog Auto: Strain Spotlight.
Black Dog Auto by Original Sensible Seeds brings together two classic Californian legends, Blackberry Kush and Headband, to create an autoflowering strain that’s as forgiving to grow as it is satisfying to smoke. With its deep purple hues, fruity diesel aroma and heavy resin production, this indica-dominant hybrid is the perfect choice for growers who want speed, flavour and strength in one effortless package.
From the moment it sprouts, Black Dog Auto makes its presence known. The plants stay compact and manageable, typically between 60 and 120 cm tall, yet deliver dense, dark buds that glisten with sticky trichomes. This strain thrives in most environments and performs exceptionally well both indoors and outdoors, finishing in just 60 to 65 days from seed. Yields are generous too, with around 150 g per plant outdoors or up to 600 g/m² under lights.
Flavour and Aroma
The flavour profile is a bold mix of juicy grape, sweet berry and earthy pine. Each inhale is smooth and fruity, followed by subtle Kush spice and diesel undertones on the exhale. The terpene blend of limonene, myrcene and caryophyllene creates a rich, mouth-coating smoke that balances sweetness with depth, leaving behind a lingering, dessert-like finish.
Effects
Black Dog Auto is the epitome of calm confidence. Its 20 percent THC content delivers a relaxing, tranquil high that spreads gradually through the body while keeping the mind at ease. The effect is sedative without being overpowering,ideal for winding down after a long day, easing stress or simply sinking into a peaceful evening. It’s the kind of strain that replaces tension with quiet contentment, making it a favourite for those who value both comfort and clarity.
Grow Information
This strain rewards growers of all levels with consistency and quality. Indoors, its compact size makes it perfect for tents or discreet spaces, and its fast-finishing nature suits perpetual harvest cycles. Outdoors, it handles cooler climates with ease thanks to its sturdy Super Auto genetics. During flowering, the buds darken to near-black shades and release an irresistible sweet grape aroma that signals it’s time to harvest. It’s a low-maintenance strain that doesn’t compromise on potency or bag appeal.
