Manufacturer Information
Genetics & Origin of Sour Diesel
Nirvana gives the lineage of Sour Diesel as the cross Chemdog × Super Skunk. Nirvana speaks of a new edition of a US classic with a strong terpene profile. The ratio is 70% Sativa and 30% Indica. The seeds are feminised and photoperiod, so flowering only begins after the switch to 12/12. According to the manufacturer, the medium-sized to tall plants show phenotypic variation, including a taller-growing type that stretches more. Nirvana rates the THC content as high and states 16 to 20%, while elsewhere around 20% is mentioned; the breeder describes the CBD content as low.

Who Is Sour Diesel For?
Sour Diesel is a Sativa-leaning strain with a long flowering time and a distinctive aroma. It suits:
- Sativa lovers who can plan for 9 to 11 weeks of flowering
- Fans of the classic diesel aroma with a grapefruit note
- Indoor growers with enough room height who top or FIM
- Outdoor gardeners in regions with a mild, sunny autumn
- Consumers looking for an energising, creative effect for the daytime
It is less suitable for regions where autumn weather sets in early, as harvest only comes from mid-October to early November, and for anyone who wants to wind down in the evening. You can find more strains of American origin under US genetics.
Growing Sour Diesel: Indoor & Outdoor
Indoor Growing
Indoors, Nirvana gives a flowering time of 9 to 11 weeks, counted from the switch to 12/12, along with a yield of 400 to 500 g/m². For the height, the data sheet states 110 to 140 cm, while elsewhere the manufacturer speaks of 150 to 180 cm. The plants turn out differently: according to the manufacturer, you should top or FIM the taller phenotype early to control the stretch. The elongated, typically Sativa buds glow frosty white and remind the manufacturer of shimmering candles. Because of the long flowering time, plan for enough height and time, and expect a strong diesel smell – an activated carbon filter makes sense. You will find the basics on training and climate in the Growpedia.
Outdoor Growing
Outdoors, according to Nirvana, Sour Diesel is not ready for harvest until mid-October to early November. The manufacturer therefore recommends it for regions with a mild, sunny autumn; where it gets cold and wet early in October, a greenhouse is the safer choice. Outdoors, according to the manufacturer, the plants grow over 200 cm tall and can yield more than 1,000 g per plant. A sheltered spot in full sun and topping in good time help to keep the tall plants in shape. Only grow where it is legal to do so.
Effect, Aroma & Flavour of Sour Diesel
According to Nirvana, the aroma of Sour Diesel combines a pungent diesel scent with fruity grapefruit notes; the data sheet lists diesel with a citrus note for the scent, and grapefruit, earth and fuel for the flavour. The breeder speaks of a strong terpene profile but does not list individual terpenes – the manufacturer does not give a lab terpene profile. It describes the effect as energising, creative and euphoric, and in summary as an energetic, long-lasting Sativa high for creative sessions and productive days. Nirvana rates the THC content as high and states 16 to 20%, and the CBD content as low. So approach it with small amounts. How intense the effect is depends on dose and individual tolerance.
