Sour Diesel is one of the most iconic and influential cannabis strains of all time, renowned for its unmistakable fuel aroma, powerful cerebral effects, and elite American genetics. This mostly sativa feminised photoperiod strain combines Original Diesel with Northern Lights, Shiva, and Hawaiian genetics, delivering a high that is both energising and deeply satisfying.
Plants develop with classic sativa structure, vigorous growth, noticeable stretch during early flowering, and long, resinous buds that fully mature over 10-11 weeks. Indoors, Sour Diesel reaches heights of 90–160 cm, while outdoor plants can grow significantly taller in warm, sunny climates. Under optimal conditions, yields range from 475 to 525 g/m² indoors and 550 to 600 g per plant outdoors.
The terpene profile is bold and unmistakable. Expect sharp diesel fuel, sour citrus, chemical notes, and spicy herbal undertones, all wrapped in a dense coating of trichomes. The smoke delivers a powerful, uplifting cerebral rush, followed by a calming body relaxation that doesn’t dull focus, making it a popular choice for managing stress and depression.
Sour Diesel’s reputation is well earned. Potent, aromatic, and consistently rewarding, this strain remains a cornerstone of modern cannabis breeding and a must-have for sativa lovers chasing classic fuel-driven genetics.
