Diesel Cannabis Seeds

What are Diesel Cannabis Seeds?

Diesel genetics represent hundreds of different genotypes that are then further divided into other phenotypes, all from the original diesel strain. Sour Diesel feminized seeds are the most popular with a lot of growers starting their first gardens with this Sativa-powered hybrid.

You can expect a high THC with this family as that range starts at 23% and peaks at just under 30%. The energy from the Sativa increases the physical effects and keeps you active throughout the day. The gentle effects of the Indica side will bring you down in a way that isn’t as drastic as a sugar crash.

With Sativa’s dominant characteristics, you can see how the powerful Diesels can explode with growth. Make sure you have a tall grow tent or simply grow it outside in the hot summer sun because sour diesel can grow into a big marijuana plant.

Every strain in the Diesel line has a powerful, distinctive aroma that reminds people of diesel fuel, it is what created the name in the first place. For some, their origins are long forgotten though some speculate their connection to the Indica OG Kush and Chemdawg.

Where do Diesel Strains Come From?

The history of the Diesel genotype is surprisingly shrouded in mystery even though it offers some of the most popular genetics in the modern age, Sour Diesel being the most recognized. It has received multiple awards and is recognized as a potent therapy for those suffering from a variety of physical and mental ailments.

The common theory is that it is related to the cannabis breeder named Weasel from New York when he cross-bred ’91 Chemdog with a Northern Lights Skunk Cross which created the popular Sour Diesel, also known as Sour D.

The interesting thing is that OG Kush seems to be related to Sour Diesel weed. A popular theory is that the same ’91 Chemdog went hermaphrodite and produced seeds or a cross between Chemdog and another Kush variety. OG Kush is also often used in the breeding of new Diesel seeds.

As time went on, these new Sour Diesel seeds were bred with others to come out with incredible variations with high THC levels and many benefits for medical users. Currently, The Seed Fair has over 20 Diesel varieties that you can cultivate and grow easily at home.

Are All Diesels Sativa?

Most if not all of the Diesel types are Sativa-dominant hybrids. This means that they all have a percentage of Indica in them (most likely from the OG Kush roots) but are still great to use in the morning before you get your day started.

All Diesel kinds have a gasoline-like smell and this includes even the non-Diesel named types, such as Bruce Banner, another Sativa heavy hybrid. The flavor profile in regards to smell and taste will be different among the various strains but they will all have that distinct sour Diesel smell.

Sour Diesel

Sour Diesel seeds are one of the most popular cannabis seeds on the market. A large portion of them come out of the west coast in California where many of the great original genotypes have been born. The mental euphoria comes on quickly and pretty heavily which is indicative of its powerful nature. A common aid for depression and other mood disorders, Sour Diesel is also a powerful motivator for those suffering from chronic pain.

The NYC Diesel strain is a winner of multiple Cannabis Cup Awards and is a top seller all over the world. If you need some creative energy you’ll be happy to know that the effects on your mind will be profound and somewhat freeing. Artists use NYC Diesel to relax the mind and enhance their creativity while melting away depression.

East Coast Diesel

The East Coast Diesel strain is well known for its distinctive aroma and its origins are from the east coast of the United States. This Sativa-dominant hybrid, this energetic fuel will hit you quickly and last quite a long time. Growers of this strain are pleasantly surprised by the resistance to diseases and pests it inherently has.

Growing Diesel Weed

Indoor growers are going to have high ceilings to grow these strains or any similar to this family. Since they are Sativa-dominant strains, you can expect them to grow much taller than any Indica varieties. If you are growing outdoors, ensure that you live in an area with dry and temperate climates. This kind of environment can be achieved easily with a greenhouse.

The potential for flavor is anything but hidden in these popular marijuana seeds so make sure you watch out for all of the requirements your weed has, and your reward will be a delicious bud with a high THC level. Energetic weed needs lots of sunlight and a properly balanced nutrient regimen high in potassium and phosphorus during the flowering phase for optimal trichome development.

How long do Diesel cannabis plants take to grow?

Sour Diesel seeds are Sativa-dominant, which means they will take a little longer to ripen than an Indica strain. If you are growing this cannabis outside and have the seedlings in the ground for the beginning of June, then you will have a late-October harvest as long as it wasn’t a wet year. If you are growing this in a greenhouse, you won’t have to worry about the adverse effects of the weather and can have a consistent harvest date.

What is the flowering time of Diesel weed?

The nice thing is that the flowering cycle of these strains will typically fall within the standard 9-11 weeks that standard Sativa strains would take to be ready to harvest. Don’t forget to train your plant with a trellis or other form of netting so that your buds can be properly supported as they swell up for massive yields.

Uses of Diesel Cannabis Seeds

You’d be surprised at the amount of work one can complete after taking their first toke of the morning and a Diesel strain is one reason why. A hybrid like Sour Diesel is a mostly Sativa strain and chemically will boost your creativity and inspiration quickly. This is further enhanced if you enjoy a morning coffee or energy drink and quickly becomes apparent why Sour Diesel cannabis seeds are so popular.

The diesel line of weed seeds has some benefits for medical patients as well. If you’re suffering from mental health issues such as depression or generalized anxiety, then the secondary relaxing effect that accompanies this hearty strain will tackle symptoms of these conditions. Epilepsy sufferers can find relief if their seizures are triggered by stress.

Diesels are so powerful that they are often used by those who have difficulties falling asleep. The euphoric sensation turns to relaxation, which can help send you off to bed, or at least an early afternoon nap.

People are often wary of trying weed with such a high THC load but the Sativa properties in these seeds will keep you relaxed without the need to lay down. Medical users will generally smoke a diesel bud when they’re done for the day and need to unwind. If you want to use it during the day, then gauge the effect that it has on you.

Where Can I Buy Feminized Cannabis Seeds?

Growing cannabis in the United States is not permitted everywhere and usually requires a license or permit for cultivating indoors or outdoors. This makes buying seeds from a local store pretty much impossible in the legal market. Finding a reputable seed bank online is the best way to get cannabis seeds. Be mindful, however, as a lot of online seed banks will sell bogus seeds.
