minus 1 star because there are so many different versions and pheno's these days of Sour D it is out of control, u never know what you're getting unless you've been smoking the strain for years and know how the different variations of it smell. (then there's "NYC Sour Diesel" with hazy and often-debated gentics that adds to the confusion) About half the Sour Diesel i've smoked (on the East and West Coast) has been very racy and extremely sativa-like in its effects - almost too racy for me, and i love super-sativas. The other half of the Sour Diesel I've been smoking (this mostly from Cali) tends to have a more relaxing, medical side, with a bit of couch-lock if overripe, but overall what I would describe as a more pleasant experience. It was also one of the very first strains I ever grew and was very rewarding and easy from a grower's perspective. I love this stuff, it's all about finding 1 cultivator / dispensary / grower who you know is consistently selling the same exact diesel every time - they've got a bomb mother and they harvest proper and once you find that source stick with it. Sour Diesel is all in the details, and like any EXTREMELY POPULAR strain, there are a sh*tload of variations you will encounter, from state to state, and even from dispensary to dispensary. I just went around and bought grams at like 5 different dispensaries until i found one batch I liked, stuck with them, and my loyalty has been rewarded in consistently deliciously delightful Sour Diesel with no end in sight.

Relatively short-lived high, but longer-lasting pain relief. Can be a little racy if you wake-n-bake and have a big cup of coffee, but not really anxiety-provoking on its own. Good for situations where you need pain relief and also need to be focused and cognizant. One of the few sativas I've found that's good on muscle spasm. Also good on centrally mediated fatigue as in CFS, MS, fibro.

This is the first time I've gotten the privilege to smoke this bud, and I was not disappointed. Sour diesel is a sativa dominant strain that lives up to it's praise. Beautiful light green buds covered in trichomes and orange hairs. The smell is very pungent with the smell of diesel and a undertome of lime. The taste mirrors the smells fairly well, and it is enjoyable. The high is simply fantastic. Very cerebral, leaving you feeling uplifted, creative and happy. It's potency certainly is not lacking, and if Sour Diesel is grown correctly, it's fantastic. This strain is excellent for depression and stress, which are completely forgotten. Simply put, Sour Diesel is the best Sativa I've smoked to date. If you have a chance to pick some of this up, do so.

Smoked some Sour Diesel with my friend Fish earlier! It immediately hit me and the high stays. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone, especially those suffering from anxiety and depression like myself.

Awesome daytime/early evening strain. Energizing and very cerebral, awesome pain relief for chronic pain due to fibro. Flavor is like described - sour, pungent, and diesel. Personally, I like it. Does provide a bit of bodily relaxation, but will not come close to couch lock. It’s a productive relaxation where you have the drive to get things done. Top shelf strain in my opinion.

This is obviously a classic. I hadn't had it in a number of years and bought a nice ounce here in Seattle recently on a whim. Sour D might be my new favourite strain overall, and is definitely my new favourite daytime strain (was Blue Dream, but I find that the phenotype commonly cultivated over the last ten years has become more middling, less euphoric than it used to be and than I prefer). (Having said this, I always love it for the evenings also) My other favourite strains, for reference, are Duct Tape, Dutch Treat, and OG Kush. I find Sour Diesel helps me sit my ass down and actually complete tasks, even intellectual ones (I've been coding all morning, to wit), as well as lowering my general anxiety/feelings of apprehension/general malaise, doesn't especially give me the munchies but makes me feel calmer and less anxious about eating, helps with the general feeling of hating everyone and everything when I'm getting my period, and is generally complementary to whatever mood I'm in: relaxing in the evening watching telly; fun with making music or playing video games or just taking a long, hot bath; motivating during the day, not in a super-stimulant way but more by way of removing anxiety, which leaves me feeling like I have more positive, happy energy to do stuff.

One of the best strains in the world. A potent sativa, sour diesel smell is very pungent. Notes of citrus, sweet and sour, mild gasoline smell. Because of its delicate, top shelf, nug structure and genetics original Sour Diesel has been hybridized often. In medical marijuana dispensaries it is difficult to locate real Sour Diesel, so keep an eye out for bright green nugs with the unmistakable aroma of sour dies'

"Sour Diesel" is not the original diesel... until someone works the line into an IBL, similar to what rezdog was trying to do, then we may never see her again. Either way what we have now is a great sativa dominant, euphoric strain. Earthy and sweet with fuel notes, and a uplifting buzz. Signature peach hairs, and the occasional dark green sugar leaf will let you know you've got the real sour. (some that I have seen have been bland or what I like to call whack diesel)
