Lineage
(Original Diesel x DNL)
Sour Diesel originated on the East Coast of the U.S. in the 1990s and is rumored to be a member of the ChemDawg family tree. It is reportedly a result from what most think is Original Diesel being pollinated by a hermied Sensi Seeds DNL (Northern Lights/Shiva x Hawaiian). Sour Diesel is named for its smell, which is a blend of a strongly sour citrus and diesel fuel-like stench that is easily detected from across the room. The effect is very potent and heady—it’s a bit of a “crusher” Sativa at high, leaving users mostly left on the couch despite a buzzing physical energy. In lighter doses (and when harvested with mostly clear and cloudy trichomes), Sour D stimulates creativity and provides a cerebral uplift that is conducive to socializing and physical activity. Known for easing nerve pain and ocular issues, Sour Diesel is highly potent and is recommended for intermediate to experienced patients due to its often-rushy onset.
