Sour Diesel
Sativa-Dominant Hybrid
Sour Diesel, sometimes known as “Sour Deez” or simply “Sour D,” is a popular hybrid strain known for its cerebral and energizing effects. There’s some debate over Sour Diesel’s true heritage, but most cannabis lovers agree that it’s likely a cross between a Chemdawg phenotype and either Super Skunk or an unknown Mexican sativa. Its fast-hitting high delivers a strong zing of energy and a sense of dreamy euphoria that’s likely to bring out your inner philosopher.
Many users love Sour Diesel for managing pain, depression, anxiety, and fatigue thanks to its energizing benefits, but it’s also a great strain for morning use. But be prepared: it’s not called “Sour Diesel” for nothing! This strain’s pungent and dank diesel aroma is impossible to miss, but you can still expect a smooth smoke and a pleasantly citrusy taste.

Grow Info
Getting your hands on some authentic Sour Diesel seeds is no small feat. This strain is tricky to locate and grow, so it’s probably best saved for experienced growers. If you decide to give Sour Diesel a try, be prepared for a tall plant that needs plenty of space for ventilation. This strain likes moderate humidity levels of about 60%, so it can do well both indoors and outdoors.
Sour Diesel grows a little slower than other strains, regardless of how you grow it. It sometimes takes up to 11 weeks to see flowering from your plants when grown indoors. Be prepared to pay close attention to soil nutrition and hydration levels throughout this period so that the plant produces as much bud as possible.

FAQs
Sour Diesel is a sativa-dominant hybrid that produces classic sativa effects, leaving users feeling energized, uplifted, creative, and focused. You could say this makes it an “upper,” though everyone reacts to strains differently.
Sour Diesel has become a staple thanks to its uplifting effects, stimulating high, and iconic aroma and flavor profile. It’s also a rare strain that can be hard to grow or find authentic variations of, which only increases its value among fans.
Sour Diesel has an average THC content of about 18-20%. That means it’s comparable to many other strains on the market – strong enough to pack a punch but not so potent that you’ll green out after a few hits. Of course, if you’re a beginner, 20% THC is still nothing to scoff at!
