Strain Sour Diesel Regular Description
Strain Sour Diesel Regular combines Original Sour Diesel with Sour OG to create a balanced, mostly-Indica hybrid (70% Indica / 30% Sativa). It delivers medium THC levels of 21%–23% and very low CBD (0.01%), giving users a strong, relaxing experience with a happy, uplifted effect. The aroma is classic fuel-forward Sour Diesel with fruity and lemony top notes. Buds form dense, resin-coated clusters that beginners can grow reliably.
This regular (non-feminized) strain reaches about 4.9 ft (1.5 m) tall and flowers in 8–10 weeks. It produces high yields: 1.47–1.64 oz/ft² (450–500 g/m²) indoors, or 14–17 oz (400–500 g) per plant outdoors. Medicinal users appreciate its relief from fatigue, muscle spasms, and stress, thanks to terpenes like limonene, myrcene, and eucalyptol that boost mood and alleviate pain.

Growing Environment
Sour Diesel Regular thrives in stable conditions. Indoors, keep temperatures between 70–80 °F (21–27 °C) during light hours and slightly cooler at night. In the vegetative stage, maintain 60–70% humidity; lower it to 40–50% during flowering to prevent mold and enhance resin.
Use quality LED or HPS lights. Provide 18–20 hours of light per day in veg, then switch to 12/12 to start flowering. Outdoors, pick a sunny, sheltered spot with well-draining, nutrient-rich soil. Amend soil with compost or worm castings, and use simple windbreaks (shade cloth or fencing) to protect against strong gusts. Good airflow and drainage drive robust growth and bumper crops.
Setting Up Your Grow Space
Sour Diesel Regular Strain Indoor Cultivation
Choose a grow tent or spare room. Line walls with Mylar for even light distribution. Install an exhaust fan plus carbon filter to control heat and odor, and place oscillating fans for fresh airflow. Fill 1‑gallon starter pots with quality soil (pH 6.0–6.5). After 2–3 weeks, transplant into 3–5 gallon pots to give roots plenty of space.
Sour Diesel Regular Strain Outdoor Cultivation
Select a flat plot receiving at least 6 hours of direct sun. Mix compost and perlite into garden beds or use large fabric pots for improved drainage. Build simple windbreaks out of wooden stakes and shade cloth. Water deeply once the top inch of soil dries, aiming for slow, even moisture rather than frequent shallow watering.
Seed Propagation and Germination
Place Sour Diesel regular seeds in distilled water for 12–24 hours, then transfer to damp paper towels inside a sealed container. Keep at 75–80 °F (24–27 °C). Once taproots appear (1–3 days), plant seeds ¼ inch deep in small pots of light, well-draining soil.
Use low-intensity light (CFL or gentle LEDs) until true leaves appear. Water sparingly let the soil surface dry slightly before the next watering. Healthy germination sets a strong foundation for growth.
Sour Diesel Regular Strain Vegetative Phase
In the vegetative phase, Sour Diesel Regular will bush out quickly. Provide 18–20 hours of bright light daily. Feed a nitrogen-rich nutrient to encourage vigorous leaf and stem growth.
Train plants early with low-stress training (LST) or topping to spread the canopy and expose more bud sites to light. Keep temperature at 72–75 °F (22–24 °C) and humidity at 60–70%. Water when the top inch of soil dries to promote deep roots and prevent overwatering.
Sour Diesel Regular Strain Flowering Phase
Switch to a 12/12 light cycle to trigger flowering. Sour Diesel focuses on developing large, resinous colas. Transition to a bloom formula rich in phosphorus and potassium. Maintain cooler temps (65–75 °F / 18–24 °C) and 40–50% humidity to boost resin and avoid bud rot.
Support heavy buds with stakes or trellis netting. Check trichomes weekly with a magnifier harvest when most appear cloudy with some amber for optimal potency and flavor.
Fertilization and Nutrition
Feed a balanced NPK mix during veg with emphasis on nitrogen. In flowering, switch to bloom nutrients high in phosphorus and potassium. Keep soil pH at 6.0–6.5 for maximum nutrient uptake.
Add organic supplements like molasses, fish emulsion, or mycorrhizae to feed beneficial microbes and enhance terpene expression. Flush with plain water during the last week to remove excess salts and improve taste.
Pest and Disease Control
Inspect daily for spider mites, aphids, or whiteflies. Keep the grow area tidy remove dead leaves and sanitize tools. Use neem oil or insecticidal soap at the first sign of pests.
For powdery mildew or bud rot, increase airflow, prune lower foliage, and maintain proper humidity. Quick intervention saves your crop and keeps plants healthy.
Sour Diesel Regular Strain Harvesting and Curing
Harvest when 70–80% of trichomes turn milky and some amber. Use clean shears to cut branches. Hang upside down in a dark, ventilated room at 60–70 °F (15–21 °C) and 50–60% humidity for 7–10 days until stems snap cleanly.
Trim buds and place them in airtight jars. “Burp” jars (open briefly) daily for the first week, then every few days for 2–4 weeks. Proper curing enhances flavor, aroma, and smoothness.
Sour Diesel Regular Strain Indica or Sativa?
Sour Diesel Regular leans Indica (70%) with 30% Sativa. You’ll feel a relaxing body buzz paired with a mild cerebral uplift. Expect stress relief without heavy sedation, making it ideal for afternoon or evening use.
Advantages and Disadvantages
Advantages: High yields (450–500 g/m²), strong relaxing effects, forgiving for beginners, classic Sour Diesel aroma, reliable performance indoors and out.
Disadvantages: Regular seeds require sexing (mix of male/female), may need branch support for heavy buds, potent effects may overwhelm novice users.
Why Buy Sour Diesel Regular Strain
Pick up Sour Diesel Regular for its legendary diesel fuel aroma and balanced, relaxing high. It combats fatigue, muscle spasms, and stress with terpenes like limonene and myrcene. Regular seeds offer both male and female plants handy for breeding or feminized seed production.
Common Growing Problems
Beware nutrient burn reduce feed strength if leaf tips yellow. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Monitor humidity closely too high invites mold, too low stresses plants. Quick tweaks keep your crop on track.
Similar Strains
Original Sour Diesel
Original Sour Diesel, often called “Sour D,” is the classic parent behind many diesel‑type hybrids. It carries a pungent fuel aroma layered with hints of fresh lemon and earthy undertones. Genetics trace back to Chemdawg 91 and Super Skunk, flowering in about 10–12 weeks. Growers prize it for its tall stretch (up to 6–7 ft) and generous yields often exceeding 1.5 oz/ft² indoors when trained properly under strong HPS or LED lighting. Medicinal users rely on its uplifting Sativa‑leaning high for relief from depression, fatigue, and stress.
Indoors, Original Sour Diesel benefits from low‑stress training and SCROG setups to manage its height and maximize bud sites. Outdoors, it thrives in warm, sunny climates but needs wind protection due to its lanky structure. Expect resinous colas coated in sticky trichomes with THC levels around 20%–24%.
Sour OG
Sour OG is the indica sibling in the Sour Diesel family, crossing Original Sour Diesel with Pre‑98 Bubba Kush. It finishes faster about 8–9 weeks of bloom and stays more compact (4–5 ft tall), making it ideal for smaller grows. Yields reach 1.2–1.4 oz/ft² indoors under a 12/12 cycle. Outdoors, it excels in mild, Mediterranean‑style climates, delivering up to 16 oz per plant in generous, dense colas.
Users report a deeply relaxing body stone paired with a clear, uplifted mind. The aroma blends diesel top notes with sweet, woody Kush undertones. Terpenes include myrcene for sedation, humulene for anti‑inflammation, and pinene for mental clarity.
Tips for Professionals
Use digital climate controllers to keep temperature, humidity, and CO₂ stable. Employ SCROG or SOG techniques to maximize canopy coverage and bud sites. Keep detailed grow logs note feed schedules, pH readings, and environmental tweaks to refine your process each cycle.
FAQs
How do I identify male vs. female Sour Diesel regular plants?
Watch for pre‑flowers around week 4 of veg: males develop round pollen sacs at stem nodes, while females show white pistils (hairs). Remove males immediately unless you plan to breed. Early sex identification helps prevent accidental pollination and ensures you focus resources on bud‑producing females.
What’s the optimal feeding schedule for each growth stage?
Use a balanced vegetative nutrient (3‑1‑2 NPK) at 50% strength during the first 3 weeks. From week 4 of veg, increase to 75% strength. When switching to 12/12, transition to a bloom formula (1‑3‑2 NPK) at 50% strength, then 75% by week 2 of flowering. Always monitor runoff pH (6.0–6.5) and adjust nutrient concentration if you see signs of burn (leaf tip yellowing) or deficiency (leaf yellowing or spotting).
Can beginners get high yields with this strain?
Absolutely Sour Diesel Regular yields up to 500 g/m² indoors and 400–500 g per plant outdoors with basic care. Key factors: maintain steady temps (70–80 °F veg, 65–75 °F flower), control humidity (60–70% veg, 40–50% flower), and use training techniques (LST, topping) to maximize even light exposure.
