Sour Diesel
About
Sour Diesel, the Sativa dominant strain, Yeh! that's what I am talking about today, has become most popular among other strains in the world due to its energetic, relaxed and euphoric high. which is perfect for users who love to smoke pot in the morning to begin their day, and don’t want to wait till 4:20 to get high. Sour Diesel gives a thrilling buzz to the user just by the appearance of the leaves and buds. Sour diesel is endowed with chunkier, rounder calyxes, it has light green coloring with darker sugar leaves and its pistils shooting out like flames, range in color from a light peach right through a toasty hot orange.
Lineage
The real history or story about the origin of sour diesel is gone into a puff in the '90s. But some breeders and users believe it to be a hybrid strain of Chemdawg 91 and Super Skunk.
Chemical Composition
Sour Diesel has higher than average THC levels, thus contributing to its fast-acting, mood elevating and energizing cerebral buzz. Its CBD levels (the chemical that induces sleep and all-around chilled out vibe) is comparatively much lower. Sour Diesel is one of the top 3 tested strains North California with the average THC potency level topping out at 18%. The lowest potency levels come in at 12% while some of the best-performing crops can hit a max of 24%
Grow Information
This highly sought after strain seed prefers a warm, slightly arid environment with temperatures in the 88℉ (31℃) region and with a soil acidity of pH 5.8 – 6.0.
Well If you are a state licensed cultivator you are in for a ride, However not a very good idea for a discreet grower since smell protruding from this marijuana strain is especially strong, and can pose a challenge to keep the smell under wraps, growing this strain isn’t a thing for novice but not a most challenging marijuana strain to cultivate either. This strain can be grown indoors or outdoors assuming that the conditions are right.
When grown outdoors this breed of ganja, apart from fertile soil it requires plenty of sunshine to turn into a strong, healthy crop in the end with the potent product. Not enough sunshine can cause issues for its development, possibly sparking an early flowering period which is not a good result for the potency of your bud.
Sour Diesel is a smoking hot strain, commanding some of the highest prices in the cannabis connoisseur’s market. This is partly to do with extended flowering time required when grown indoors. After 8–10 weeks of flowering, the buds mature into one of the most potent marijuana breeds available, dripping in golden, glistening trichomes. This elongated flowering times also means bigger yields- half a pound or more per plant for indoor growers and up to five pounds when grown outdoors. This plant thrives on the coast of California and Spain, and the ideal time to reap your reefer rewards through harvesting is October in the Northern Hemisphere.
Effects
Sour Diesel aka Sour-Deez is known to cause a creative and mind-altering high, that has little effect on the body and won’t drag your energy levels down, hence what I said earlier, there’s no need to wait until 4:20 to enjoy invigorating effects of this popular strain. The best recommended time to light one up is the first thing in the morning. A fervent wake and bake session will get you pumped up and ready to tackle your day, and this is partially what has caused it to become such a favorite among medical marijuana patients, stoners and 420-lovers alike.
Whereas Indica strains are known for inducing a calm, zoned out mental and bodily climate, at times inconducive to coherent social interaction, Sativa strains top in at the other end of the energy scale. At 90% Sativa, Sour Diesel kicks in fast, producing a cerebral high that is as ecstatic as can be. It affects only the head, leaving the body to do as it pleases, so there’s no risk of day-long couchlock with this particular breed.
The energy Sour Diesel creates is focussed and laser sharp, stimulating your creativity and flicking your switch on to a heightened mental state. Take one drag and you’ll be turned into a mean, cleaning, idea generating machine in no time.
Sour Diesel is the ultimate pick-me-up with more highs than lows. On the negative side, the worst case scenario is you catch a slight case of cottonmouth from eagerly packing a bit too much into your bowl and smoking it all straight up.
A word of advice for the less seasoned smoker though — the cerebral high can be full on, leading to possible paranoia, anxiety, and inability to retain attention if you are not used to such strong sensory stimulation. So if you’re a Sour Diesel newbie, don’t max out all at once, rather take it one hit at a time to find your groove.
Medical Benefits
Those who regularly enjoy Sour Diesel weed most often report mental disorders as their medical condition. Sour-D is very well known for assisting those struggling with mental conditions, for it has an incredibly powerful effect on mind and emotions. It is a wonderful marijuana strain for bringing positive energy back into life, ideally suited for those dealing with depression, anxiety, and stress. If you are consuming Sour Diesel, for this reason, it is best to smoke a balanced amount of the strain and not over-do your consumption. Over consuming any strain of marijuana while dealing with a mental condition can cause any symptoms to become worse and possibly increase paranoia, anxiety, stress, etc. So what I suggest without overdoing take a puff first thing in the morning and feel your anxiety or depression immediately go up in the smoke.
Additionally, Sour Diesel is a replenishing marijuana strain, so if you are an individual that often experiences fatigue, you can count on Sour-Deez to pick you right back up, set you down on your feet and get your day going once again, and if you are handling pain throughout your body or in a targeted region, the best and longest lasting method of consumption would be through an edible, concentrate, live resin, hash or shatter. All these forms are extra potent, and therefore will be the most ideal for healing your body from any pain for an extended period of time.
