Sour Diesel
Sour Diesel is associated with the East Coast cannabis scene and became widely known through selections circulating around New York in the 1990s. Sour D and ECSD are associated names, but the history of the original cut remains disputed.
About Sour Diesel
A frequently cited lineage combines Chemdog 91 and Super Skunk. Other records use the broader Chemdog name. Those accounts do not establish the same exact parent identity. Stories about the origin of the word Sour also remain anecdotal.
Fuel, sour citrus, earth and spice are recurring aroma descriptions. Reports commonly mention an energetic or uplifted experience, but a cultivar name cannot predict a person’s response.
For meaningful comparisons, retain the full cultivar name together with the grower, selection and product format. Use current product testing for cannabinoid content rather than applying a reference value to every item sold as Sour Diesel.
