Sour Diesel Marijuana Strain

Sour Diesel is a famous cannabis strain known for its distinct, citrus and diesel fuel aroma. While it may not sound pleasant, both the acidic aroma and energizing effects of this strain are reminiscent of a strong cup of coffee. Marijuana consumers treasure its potency and euphoric effects.

Sour Diesel Marijuana Strain Experience

An excellent daytime strain, Sour Diesel, also called Sour D, provides smooth and powerful uplifting effects. About 90% sativa, you can count on Sour D. as a stand in for a morning cup of coffee. It’s uplifting, creative, and produces an all around strong high that won’t trip you up. In fact, most people find that this strain renders a purely cerebral experience.

As the high continues, it’s not uncommon to need to move or feel motivated to get things done. It tends to be quick and focused, so if you need help meeting a deadline or want some help relaxing while you run errands, this Sour D. is a great choice. Recreational consumers will love this strain for a night out. As a precaution, the higher the dose, the more likely you are to feel a bit racy.

The small amount of Indica lineage may help mellow out an otherwise intense sativa experience. Overall, the effects of this strain are felt strongly in the head and face. Shortly after smoking or vaping, you may notice a familiar tingling in your sinuses and the front part of your head.

Traits of Sour Diesel and Sour Diesel Seeds

Though this strain has a stinky, diesel fuel-like aroma, its one of the most popular Sativas around. The smell only intensifies when the nugs are broken open, with the gasoline smell becoming almost overpowering. Real connoisseurs will note additional pine aromas.

The smoke from this weed is famously harsh itself, causing even some more experienced marijuana consumers to cough. Not known as the most pleasant tasting strain, the diesel and ammonia flavors really take hold on the exhale and last quite a while on the palate.

Sour Diesel is an extremely popular sativa with ambiguous origins. A good guess is that it’s a cross between Chemdawg, Northern Lights, and Skunk No. 1. Yet, some say that Diesel or DNL (Diesel X Northern Lights) is in the mix as well.

The THC content of Sour D. can be quite high. At times, this strain can reach up to 25 percent THC. If you’re picking up in a dispensary, you’re more likely to see Sour Diesel hover in the 21 to 22 percent range. The buds tend to be light green and fluffy, with plenty of burnt orange hairs.
