Sour Diesel from Barney's Farm is a feminised, sativa-leaning hybrid, roughly 70 percent sativa and 30 percent indica, bred from Super Skunk and Chemdawg lines. Its aroma is a strong, pungent mix of sour and earthy notes with a clear diesel character, and the flavour carries sweet, spicy and lemony tones that linger on the palate. The breeder lists THC at around 26 percent. Users describe an energetic, uplifting and euphoric high with a clear-headed feel, which makes it a popular choice for daytime use when a mental lift is wanted. The plant is adaptable and suits both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoors it flowers in roughly 70 to 75 days and stays compact at 100 to 120 cm, while outdoors it can reach 150 to 200 cm and is typically ready in mid to late October. Indoor yields are quoted at 600 to 700 grams per square metre. A respected name among connoisseurs, Sour Diesel remains a sought-after classic for growers who appreciate its character.
