Hello, and welcome to another page of our cannapedia, sure we’ve reviewed much strains of cannabis, and still many more to come. The last part of this series was about the Bubba kush cannabis strain, if you missed that, you can head back a bit and read up to stay updated..
Today we have on our spotlight the SOUR DIESEL, unfortunately I don’t remember tasting diesel, maybe that will be my next line of research… lol.
However the sour Diesel got the diesel name from its intense diesel aroma, the sour taste of the leaves completes its name. The sour Diesel is another sativa dominant strain, and again on our series we got another sativa strain uncovered.
Much aren’t known about the history of the sour Diesel, believed to be the dominant cannabis sold in dispensaries in the 1980s, the high prohibition on cannabis around this make the details of sour Diesel performances and chemistry a bit obscured. Even though it is believed to be a hybrid of the super skunk strain and the chemdawg 91, this claim is still a subject of many disagreement, however it is the claim closest to a fact.

With 80% sativa, you could guess the feeling you’ll get by puffing on the sour Diesel, the high energetic feelings of the sativa aren’t in any way lacking in the sour Diesel strains. Also known as Sour D, this strain can light up your day and kick your mood up the roof, it is a perfect choice for lighting up your mood in a dull day or when all alone..
The effects of the sour Diesel was explicitly explained by wikileaf thus..
>The high from Sour Diesel comes on users quickly in the form of a warm and pleasant head rush. An uplift in mood may be noticeable as well. Although Sour Diesel stimulates synaptic activity in the brain, the character of this head high is more spacey than intensely cerebral. Users may feel chatty if surrounded by others or somewhat introspective if enjoying the strain alone. For many, this soaring high is partially anchored by a slight feeling of physical relaxation. That said, a body stone that leads to full-on couchlock is rare. The sense of euphoria that comes with this variety may be helpful in treating some symptoms of mild stress, anxiety, or depression. Its tendency to lead to associative thinking may provoke a bit of creative inspiration. Fans of the strain also describe relief from troublesome aches and pains. Sour Diesel’s combination of mental and somatic effects may also make it a potent aphrodisiac in certain situations.
As is common with many strong sativas, the altered mental state brought about by Sour Diesel may prove overwhelming for some, leading to paranoid, recursive thinking or a feeling of being generally “out of control” of one’s thoughts or body. As such, users -- especially those with a lower THC tolerance -- should adjust their intake accordingly. Sour Diesel has an average-length high that lasts about 2 to 3 hours.

With its high THC content of about 20-25, and high sativa content, these above explained effects wouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. The sour Diesel is hence a perfect remedy for depression, pain, stress and probably boredom… lol.
Wishing to grow the sour Diesel? The tasks aren’t so tedious, just as any other cannabis strain, the sour Diesel grows best under a well controlled environment with the light intensity and temperature watched closely and light exposure scheme correctly followed. The sour Diesel flowers in about nine to ten weeks, outdoor growth have reported more yield than indoors cultivation.
*My opinion on the sour Diesel*: Having a dull day? Just get some sour Diesel and meet us at the top!
