Description
Sour Diesel Feminized comes from crossing Chemdog with Super Skunk, giving her a sativa-dominant profile with reported THC in the 16%–20% range. She's rated hard to grow and responds well to plant training.
Break open a bud and citrus and diesel-like notes come through first, backed by earthy, pungent tones. Buds grow large and stacked, developing purple, red, and magenta hues during the final weeks of flowering.
Indoors, she grows tall with long side branches. Yield potential runs high, in the 400–500 g/m² range indoors. Given her hard grow difficulty and demanding nature, Sour Diesel Feminized suits growers with some indoor experience who can commit to training and close monitoring.
Grow info
Sour Diesel Feminized has a strong resin profile and produces large, stacked buds.
Indoor growing
Indoors, she grows tall with long side branches and responds well to training such as tying down, topping, and pruning. She bulks up considerably during the final 3 weeks of flowering, becoming heavily coated in trichomes, and develops purple, red, and magenta shades late in flowering. Flowering takes about 9 to 11 weeks; checking trichomes with a microscope is recommended to help judge the harvest window. Indoor yield can reach up to about 1.6 oz per square foot.
Outdoor growing
Outdoors, she can grow quite tall, exceeding about 6.6 ft with training such as topping and tying down. She prefers hotter climates and has shown good tolerance to heavy winds, hot temperatures, cold nights, powdery mildew, and mold. Flowering takes about 63 to 77 days. Planting in spring is recommended, with harvest expected in mid-October to early November. Outdoor yield can exceed about 35.5 oz per plant; support with a net trellis or wooden canes is recommended, as side branches can become top-heavy.
Training and plant care
Training before switching to a 12/12 light cycle is recommended for growers with limited space, since she stretches considerably once flowering begins. Tying down or topping before flowering helps control final height.
