Sour Diesel Strain

The two most common side effects of Sour Diesel are the typical ones of feeling parched and/or experiencing dry, itchy eyes–both of which can generally be averted by just drinking plenty of water.

Other far less common negative effects that some users have reported include dizziness and/or an increase in their nervous levels. However, not only are these side effects rare, but they also seem to only happen when someone either overindulges in Sour D or is unused to the effects of such a powerful sativa.

Terpenes aren’t just found in marijuana, they also naturally occur in other types of flora, including fruits, flowers, vegetables, etc. They are what give all of this plant life their flavors and fragrances, as well as their potential healing properties. Take for example, lavender, which is rich in the terpene linalool that is known to have calming effects. It is because of this that lavender is frequently used in aromatherapy and other traditional healing modalities to help users feel calmer and more relaxed.

Sour Diesel’s main terpenes include D-Limonene, β-Pinene, myrcene, caryophyllene, and α-Pinene–each of which you can easily look up online to find out more about their specific traits.

Once you get a sniff of Sour Diesel’s gassy fuel aroma, you’ll understand exactly how and why it got its name. In addition to its diesel-like scent, this sativa also contains accents of herbaceous and citrusy scents. For the uninitiated, Sour D’s aromatic profile may sound extremely offputting, but in reality cannabis strains that smell of diesel, skunk, etc. are actually well-loved for their complex fragrances.

In terms of Sour Diesel’s taste, users say that its tart citrusy flavor is delightfully savory and smooth with rather surprising hints of tropical fruits.

Sour Diesel, which is prone to powdery mildew, is something of a challenging experience for growers, which means it’s not recommended for the inexperienced to try their hands at. One thing that will make things easier is the fact that Growers Choice Seeds only sells feminized seeds. This means that cultivators have a 99% chance of ending up with all-female, bud-bearing plants.

Since Sour D grows to be quite tall, it’s usually best to cultivate it outside in a hot, sunny, and rather arid setting where humidity levels are under 60% and where it can have plenty of space to stretch.

That said, if you don’t live in a part of the world that has that kind of extended outdoor growing season, then growing it indoors will be fine, and in many ways will be easier since you can control its temperature and humidity needs. If you do grow it indoors, you’ll need to make sure to stay on top of pruning and topping your Sour Diesel plants so as to keep their height under control. In addition, know that this sativa will respond well to the use of hydroponics.

Regardless of where you cultivate Sour D, be aware that its odors are going to alert everyone who passes by or lives next door to you about what you’re growing.

Sour Diesel’s tall and gangly plants produce nuggets that are known for their “classic” cannabis appearance. The one thing that makes its green buds, which are frosted over in shimmering icy trichomes, slightly stand out is that they are interwoven with orange pistils that have somewhat pinkish hues to them.

When grown indoors, Sour Diesel should provide growers with a very pleasing yield of about 510 grams per square meter in approximately 9-11 or so weeks.

However, when cultivated outside, this near-pure sativa has the potential to produce massive harvests of more than 705 grams per plant sometime around the early part of November.

2. Super Sour Diesel: It probably shouldn’t come as much surprise that this pure sativa beloved for its powerfully psychoactive cerebral effects that pack quite the exhilarating punch has Sour Diesel as one of its parent strains as it’s essentially an amped-up version of Sour D.

3. Purple Sour Diesel: This well-balanced, physically calming yet energetically invigorating strain that leaves you feeling like you’ve reached the mountaintop also has Sour D as one of its parent strains and like its parent has a very distinct diesel aroma.
