Sour Diesel, sometimes called “Sour Deez” or “Sour D” is a Sativa strain whose origin is often debated in the marijuana community. Some believe this strain is a blend of the Chemdog and Mexican Sativa while others claim it originates from a blend between 91 Chemdog and Mass Super Skunk. Whatever the case is, be prepared to be hit by a one of a kind potent high. Sour Diesel isn’t given the name “Diesel” for no reason. This strain has an intoxicating stench which is similar to a mix of diesel fuel and lemon. The effects of this strain are fast-acting and cause dreamy cerebral effects, along with boosting energy levels. The THC content level is this strain is fairly high ranging from around 19% to 20% averagely. Minute amounts of pinene, myrcene, and limonene terpenes give this strain a citrus flavor and scent. The strain also has sweet and dank aromas as well as citrus, candy, skunky and sweet flavors.
Sour D can be grown both indoors and outdoors. When grown outdoors, it requires a warm climate like that of Spain or California in order for it to grow to its full potential. This strain’s buds are very appealing and take over 10 weeks to flower. They grow between 100 to 130cm tall and produce 450 to 600 grams when grown indoors. Regardless of the quantity produced, these buds are still of premium quality.

Users of Sour D reported that it boots creativity by invigorating the cerebral cortex. Due to the effervescent effect of this strain, users prefer to take it at the start of the day as it serves as a head start. Sour Diesel is among the top most-preferred strains amongst medical marijuana users.
I use this strain every morning in dry sift hash form. It is as important as coffee for me because it helps with my ADD/ADHD, anxiety, general focus, and creativity. I use medicinal marijuana to treat chronic migraines, neck fusion surgery pain, lower back bulged disc pain, and the pain of three knee surgeries. I sit at a desk in my home office all day and staying focused can often be a challenge. Sour D does it for me. It motivates me to think creatively to work smarter and more effectively.
The first feeling I experience (after the temporary cerebral buzz settles down) is an increase in focus. It might sound silly to say, but it puts me in a good mood to WANT to be as productive as possible for my job.
The flower works well too; but, I noticed that I have to wait about 15 minutes after medicating to let the initial onset settle down. Then it is hard to break my attention from whatever project I am obsessively working on to complete. The feeling lasts about 3-4 hours with the dry sift product I get from Trulieve. The feeling is about 2 hours for flower.
This is a great strain all around. I use it as needed throughout the day.
Remember ever strain has different effects on different people. I have a fairly high tolerance for THC and this strain works fine for me. That said, this same strain might be too strong for people who are new to medicinal marijuana products.
