THC
CBD
Potency
Sour Diesel is a well-known Sativa strain, with mysterious origins and prominent fame, which came to the scene in the early 90s. Worth mentioning that this cannabis is also famous under the names like Sour D and Sour Deez. There are many speculations about its lineage and creators, but there a few most widespread thoughts. Many people believe that Sour Diesel is a cross of Chemdawg, Northern Lights, and Skunk #1. On the other hand, some claim it to be a mix of Mexican Sativa and Chemo or just a leaning phenotype of Chemdawg. Unfortunately, there is not much information on its breeders either. Nevertheless, every connoisseur knows for sure the extraordinary flavor and powerful effects of strain.
This marijuana contains a rather potent THC level, which ranges between 24% and 26%. Novices should be aware that this strain is not the best option to start with due to its high THC potency and harsh smoke. The best time to enjoy Sour D is in the morning or during the daytime due to its energizing influence.
The buds emit a very pungent, uncommon fragrance, which reminds of gas with some citrusy hints. The taste is rather earthy and sweet, accompanied by a slight citrus presence. When exhaling, the smoke usually provides cough and leaves a fuel lingering diesel aftertaste. It is also a bad idea to forget about its strong aroma, which is easy to notice.

I was suggested to take this one because it makes people bounce. But I was stuck to my couch and missed a whole day of office because of drowsiness. The diesel smell is the only thing I liked
This is a sativa dominant straina nd exactly what I was looking for. I did a mistake purchasing orange candy before but this one is strong, effective, earht and the skunk lasts long!
If you are a fan of that diesel gas smell, grab this one, roll in the joint and smoke up with company! It chases away sad thoughts, depression, stress and I love how the smoke clouds my room and makes me feel secure.
My muscle spasms after morning gym are horrible. This earthy skunk is a savior and I feel much better when I head to work.
Laughing our loud with this diesel smelling strain! Never been this happy!
Was searching for weeds with Phellendrene on leafly and found Sour Diesel. It has a pungent taste, slightly earthy smell and I must say the energy is great and long-lasting!
here and on allbud said - high THC content. Is that why I am feeling extrememly paranoid now?
I take a few puffs in the morning for energized day. Works for me folks!
A lingering diesel aftertaste that I freaking LUBB! Instant energy and refreshment!
Not for novices - Read that AGAIN
anyone got diesel aftertaste? I felt more citrusy and pungent sweet.
Overwhelmingly thick smoke. Urggghhh!
The smoke fills the room! My current party fav for happy dances!
Smells like gas and tastes so strong!
The scent is uncommon but great!
Great kush for a strong high that uplifts energy and concentration
I always love Sativa dominant strains because of their creativity boosting
The high was not overwhelming
Used this weed to treat my lack of appetite, loved it from then
Apart from the regular side effects, I did not experience any hazardous effects just the ones I wanted aiming for. I read a lot of reviews before buying this weed and concluded on buying this kush. That is one decision I will never regret because of the taste and effects.
My first experience with this weed was after my fathers funeral, I was so depressed and lacked energy, this mmj helped me regain my strength. Ever since when I feel down, this is a great pick me up because it uplifts my mood
Good for depression
I suffer from ADHD, this helped
When I first opened up the packaging and got a whiff of that smell, I thought the taste would also be an acquired taste. But when I started smoking it the taste and aroma has some sweetness I so dearly loved
Love the salty sweet taste
Nice citrusy scent
Sour D for Energy!
Great medical application for pain
I like the strong smell
Strong high, perfect for ultimate stoners
You should hang and get lit with this dope with your mates
Most of the time, I face a serious writers block and in those trying times my art slows up and cant continue writing novels and short stories. These effects do not last long now beause this kush infuses energy and concentration in me.
The high seemed balanced
Wake and bake 4/20!
