Sour Diesel
An energizing sativa strain with a pungent diesel aroma that delivers invigorating, dreamy cerebral effects.
THC: 18% | CBD: 1%
Overview. Crisp, energetic, and iconic, the Sour Diesel sativa strain blends bright citrus, sharp diesel, and resinous pine with a clean, motivating lift. Expect a fast mood rise, talkative focus, and a smooth, functional calm that suits errands, creative flow, or daytime social time.
Flavor & aroma
Lemon zest and sweet citrus ride over fuel, pine, and a hint of pepper. Cooler temps keep the fruit vivid; warmer pulls amplify the diesel edge and add a toasted, herbal finish. The aftertaste is clean, slightly sweet, and resinous.
Effects & feel
Onset is swift: motivation climbs, shoulders loosen, and attention settles into a clear lane. Keep servings modest for alert, talkative focus; step up slowly for a cozier cruise that remains present and productive.
How to enjoy
- Grind & pack: Fluffy grind with a light tamp preserves airflow and bright top notes.
- Vape temps: 175–190°C (347–374°F) for citrus‑pine clarity; a touch hotter for thicker clouds and fuel.
- Pacing: Two small sips beat one big rip—keeps terpenes intact and the arc smooth.
Dosing & pacing
Start tiny, wait several minutes, then add in small steps. Short breaks prevent stacking and help you find the sweet spot. Hydrate and keep a light snack handy for comfort.
Storage & freshness
Seal in glass, store cool and dark, and avoid frequent temperature swings. A humidity pack helps maintain softness and protects the citrus‑diesel bouquet.
