Sour Diesel Strain: What’s Up With This New York Icon?

What You Can Expect When You Try Sour Diesel

You can expect to feel:

Energetic

Talkative

Uplifted

According to legend, Sour Diesel is one of New York’s most iconic cannabis gems. But that’s not the only thing that makes it special. Since the ‘90s, it’s been known by many as a “secret weapon for mornings,” a sativa-dominant strain offering a great way to kickstart the day. A surge of mental clarity and an electrifying boost propels you into a realm of unparalleled productivity and go-go-go energy.

The aroma alone, a unique blend of diesel and citrus, teases the Sour Diesel experience, paying homage to the name with a diesel smell plus a little touch of pine. It’s not just a strain — Sour Diesel is an attitude adjustment and a catalyst for seizing the day.

Remember: There’s no universal experience when it comes to any cannabis strain (cultivar). You may have a different experience when you try Sour Diesel — and that’s OK!

Why is Sour Diesel so popular?

The popularity of Sour Diesel can be attributed to its pungent aroma, potent effects, and unique flavor profile. The strain’s intense and recognizable scent and storied effects are so popular, that legend says New Yorkers would turn “sour” over who got their hands on this strain, setting off a craze in its earliest years.

Is Sour Diesel an indica or sativa?

Sour Diesel is classified as a Sativa-dominant hybrid strain. Its impressive 90:10 sativa to indica composition reflects its overwhelming sativa dominance, which sets the tone for the strain’s energizing and uplifting effects.

It’s good to remember, though, that the effects associated with indica, sativa, and hybrid labels are not a guarantee of how you’ll feel. These categories refer to plant genetics, and not the cannabinoids and terpenes that actually shape your experience.
