Dieseltonic by Resin Seeds
For the medical growers out there, Dieseltonic (sometimes passed around as Pickantona) is a staple that deserves every bit of its reputation. Resin Seeds really put themselves on the map with their CBD lines, and this one is a straight-up banger. They took Soma’s famous N.Y.C. Diesel and crossed it with a reverted Cannatonic. The result took home 3rd place at the 2013 High Times Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam, and for good reason.
Growing this plant is generally a breeze. She’s highly resistant to powdery mildew and fungal issues, making her a great choice for both indoor tents and outdoor guerrilla runs. Indoors, she usually finishes flowering in about 8 to 9 weeks. One trick a lot of growers swear by is keeping the grow lights a little higher above the canopy than you normally would—a trait inherited straight from the Cannatonic side that helps encourage maximum yield, which can push 500g/m² under optimal conditions.
Because of the genetics, you’re going to see some variation when popping seeds. Roughly half the phenos will throw a perfect 1:1 THC to CBD ratio, while the rest might lean heavier in one direction. The smell is incredibly complex; you get that sweet, bright mandarin citrus from the Cannatonic smashed right into the sharp, chemical fuel of the NYC Diesel. It provides an uplifting, crystal-clear high that wipes out pain and inflammation without leaving you glued to the couch.

Growing Dieseltonic: what to expect
As an indica-leaning plant, expect a modest stretch after the flip (roughly 50–100%) and dense bud structure — which makes late-flower humidity discipline the main risk: keep RH in the 40s once buds fatten to stay ahead of mold. Growers familiar with NYC Diesel or Cannatonic will recognize much of its behavior. Whatever the listing says, the cut in YOUR tent is the ground truth: log feedings, readings, and photos, and let the trends — not the label — drive decisions.
