Sour Diesel is a mouthwatering sativa-dominant (90/10) hybrid. Other names include Sour Deez and Sour D. There is still a debate going on about its origin, but most think it’s the result of crossbreeding Chemdog with Mexican Sativa. Growing this marvelous strain is moderately hard because it needs detailed care and attention. These plants grow tall and prefer warmer climates with medium humidity. The aroma of this strain is not for the faint-hearted; expect an intense diesel smell with a bit of lemon and some more earthy notes. The flavor is about the same. Sour Diesel won’t leave you couch-locked or unmotivated for hours – expect an uplifting cerebral rush with a surge of creativity and much energy. It’s a perfect wake-and-bake strain because of the invigorating effects that will put you in the mood for just about anything. Medically, this strain is best for treating depression, anxiety, adhd, and chronic fatigue – it misses the truly relaxing effect of more Indica-driven strains.

The overall profile remained intact: pine, chem/fuel notes, and a citrusy nuance (still convinced it’s bergamot) all in place. Through a vape, the vapor is smooth, with a pronounced sour aftertaste. The effects, however, became noticeably stronger after curing. Right after a hit, it’s clear how heavy the vapor feels in the lungs—a good sign, I thought. While I’m not claiming 30% THC, there’s definitely around 20-25%. The high kicks in within 5 minutes, pulling you through a hyperspace of playful thoughts, ideas, and entertaining nonsense. Throughout the trip, I was in a great mood, feeling creative and curious, all while snacking (the munchies weren’t overwhelming, but everything just tasted better). Had a blast playing with my kid—completely immersed in the moment. About two hours in, I made the mistake of sitting on the couch, where I got stuck between the cushions for about 30 minutes. That’s when the high wraps you in a lazy blanket, gradually fading away. Overall, the experience lasts around 3.5-4 hours. No negative side effects—no dry mouth (just a bit), paranoia, or anxiety. You might feel a slight mental fog if smoked in the evening, but nothing critical.

Pretty disappointed after my first photoperiod grow due to the plants herming… I’ve been treading them as careful as possible giving the perfect environment etc. but still, they grew balls. Might have dried them for too long due to work - stress (11 days) and they kinda have 0 smell… not sure if curing will bring back some but I put them in grove bags and heat sealed them anyway. One of the sour diesel plants had a lot of seeds so imma use it for making infused coconut oil. 2 sour plants yielded around 380g dry. I am pretty sure I messed up something and that’s why I can’t really rate the strain… but they germinated super quick with a rate of 100% and the vegetative grow was super vigorous and healthy.

The Sour Diesel is a strain I have been wanting to grow. It didn't disappoint, the buds are dense, sticky and smell like fuel with just a hint of citrus. The buds are still gassy and need more of a cure. Strong!

Oh man, what can I say. Sour Diesel will always have a designated shelf in my house. This strain is the most potent, delicious and sticky flower I have ever had. This strain is the reason im not so upset about my other plants. This girls is stinky af Smells like you walked in a small 10x10 room with about 20 ppl in there peeling oranges, follwed by that diesel fuel smell that almost takes your breath. This girl was full of surprises. She started out as the runt of them all the whole grow. Just a short little bushy plant. I always joked and called it a hedge. This girl had plans to be great and I could tell in wk 1 of flower. SHe shot up and demanded the light and was now taller than all other plants in the tent. This plant is one that I wish I had space for cloning because it was great. Hands down my favorite plant of the bunch so far and will grow it again.

This plant produce the best bud stucture in this run. Unfortunately there is not much of a smell due to the sf2000 by spider farmer burning all the plant on the right of the tent dude to its uneven lighting. I quickly bought the mars hydro fc4000 and I recommend that to anyone growing in a 2x4.

Intense fruity smell and taste, with a very Diesel afterthought. Perfect daytime smoke, makes me want to get things done. Definitely more Sativa.

This was my first time growing this strain, was pretty easy, everything went well. Had some aphids but i caught them at the right time. Luckily it didn't get the budrot like the Runtz and G13 haze because of the high humidity. Good taste, good high, it's a celebration b!tches Ñ

Nice crystal-covered buds. The smell is not like diesel at all, but more like a nice general skunky. Overall a nice strain, but nothing exceptional for the smell or look so far. Total potency: 22.2%, THC: 21.2% tested.

Grew 2 main stems, which were covered in buds. They were abit loose, not much density to them atall, but I think that's something I did wrong, rather than a genetic issue. Smokes beautifully. Really strong taste, despite the loose buds. I can only imagine what this strain could taste like, if grown by someone who really knows what they're doing.

Buds turned a nice variety of colors once cold was introduced, buds were cured for about 3 weeks. The smell isn't the sour I remembered BUT its loud and sweet, for flowering under a 200w the yield was crazy for only a 3 week veg. The high is definitely there and spoke to my soul, very long lasting effects by my standards and a summer time staple.

Total dry and jarred weight 148.9g and 119.5g of larf that I’ve been pressing into Rosin. Blimburn Sour Diesel had good growth and buds turned out big, frosty, and hard. Smell was lemon, sour, gas, something like that, my nose isn’t that good. Smoke is smooth and burn is clean. I enjoyed growing and will grow again in the future.
