Sour Diesel (Barney's Farm)

Description

Sour Diesel Strain Info

With its 70% Sativa / 30% Indica ratio, Sour Diesel leans hard to one side of the genetic spectrum, which manifests in the almost pure cerebral character of its effects with just enough of a soothing quality to make the whole experience unthreatening and even mellow. If the effects feel like fuel for both your body and mind, so does this weed’s aroma – it boasts a signature sour pungency with diesel-like undertones.

Genetics

Sour Diesel hails from Super Skunk, a famous commercial strain celebrated for its uniformity, stability, and ease of growing as well as its abundant yields. The other part of the family tree is Chemdawg, a legend in its own right, whose recognizable chemical aroma adds character to its offspring's sour skunky stench.

Flowering Time

Be patient when growing Sour Diesel, as its flowers take as long as 70-75 days to reach full maturity. Outdoors, the plants will be ready for harvest in October, thriving best in climates with warm, dry, and sunny weather well into the autumn.

Yields

The indoor yields of Sour Diesel are significantly higher than average at 600-700g/m² (2-2.3oz/ft²). Outdoors, the plants tend to grow huge, yielding between 1,500-2,000g (3.3-4.4lb) in suitable climates.

Effects

Perfect for the wake-and-bake lifestyle, Sour Diesel produces effects that pump you up with mental energy and physical vigor. Consume it in moderation, and you’ll be up to any task, whether it’s something boring and routine that requires focus or a creative project where you need to think outside of the box and come up with new ideas. Beyond work, this smoke is also great for socializing, going to the gym, or exploring nature.

Medical Properties

By making you enjoy life and giving you enough energy to overcome hardships, Sour Diesel is one of the best varieties to try for depression. It’s also soothing enough to help alleviate anxiety, while the most important medical application reported for this strain is stress.

THC Levels

Sour Diesel is one of those classics whose potency competes with cutting-edge modern genetics, as its THC content hovers around a hefty 20-24%.

Smell and Taste

This is a very pungent weed with a sour aroma accentuated by notes of diesel. The smoke tastes earthy and spicy on the inhale and leaves a lingering sweet aftertaste on the palate.

Grow Tips

These plants are vigorous and robust, tending to grow tall and stretchy. However, by harvest time, their long internodes get completely covered in chunky colas. Indoors, the plants reach 100-120cm (3’4”-4’), and outdoors, if given enough space and time to grow, they grow as tall as 150-200cm (5’-6’8”).

• Give the plants a short veg and initiate flowering early.
• Use powerful lights to prevent excessive stretching.
• Take odor control seriously, as you’re dealing with a Skunk descendant.
