A warming sensation is perhaps what is first felt with Sour Diesel, and it can creep up on you rather quickly, followed by a euphoric uplift.

The uplifting and happy nature of this strain is great for washing away stress, anxiety as well as relieving symptoms of PTSD, depression or bipolar disorder. It also offers physical relaxation that is nice and calming, which can soothe chronic pains, headaches or nausea, though it is not heavy enough to induce couch lock so is still good for morning or day time usage!

Sour Diesel THC Content

Sour Diesel is a near pure sativa with a dominant ratio of 90% to 10% indica. Its THC levels average between 20% to 26% on the regular, and also carries about 2% CBD and 2% CBN, making it suitable and ideal for medical users as much as it caters to recreational users.

While there is wide speculation on its genetic heritage, there is a general consensus that the strain is a phenotype or child of the famed Chemdawg (aka Chemdog), which is a near even hybrid of 55% indica to 45% sativa with an average of 22% to 27% THC potency. It is also often speculated that the other parent is Skunk #1, an indica hybrid, or Super Skunk, which is also an indica hybrid and the child of Skunk #1. While it is not as often suggested as the former two strains, the famous indica Northern Lights is also a suspected parent of Sour Diesel.
