Sour Diesel is one of the most recognizable names in cannabis, a legend of the sativa world. If a strain could smell like a city morning, this is it: sharp, pungent, and unmistakably fuel-forward. It built its reputation on the East Coast and never let go of it.

Lineage

Sour Diesel's exact origins are famously debated, but it traces to the early 1990s and is widely described as descending from Chemdawg and Northern Lights related genetics. It is the parent or grandparent of countless modern "diesel" and "sour" strains.

Aroma and flavor

Loud and pungent: diesel fuel up front, with sharp citrus and a skunky, earthy backbone. It is the definition of a gassy strain, the kind that fills a room.

The terpenes behind it

Sour Diesel's punch comes from a trio led by caryophyllene for its peppery, gassy edge, limonene for the bright citrus lift, and myrcene for the earthy base. A touch of ocimene rounds out the brightness.
