Diesel

Description

**Diesel** is a legendary sativa-dominant strain that has become a cornerstone of modern cannabis genetics. Known for its distinctive fuel-like aroma and potent cerebral effects, it's believed to have originated from a cross between Mexican Sativa and Afghani landrace genetics in the 1990s New York City underground scene. **Key Characteristics:** - **Potent Sativa Effects:** Delivers an intense, fast-acting cerebral rush characterized by euphoria, mental stimulation, and creative energy. The high is often described as "racy" and uplifting. - **Signature Aroma/Flavor:** The defining feature is its powerful, pungent fuel/diesel scent, complemented by sharp citrus (often lemon or grapefruit) and earthy, spicy undertones. The flavor translates directly from the aroma. - **Growth Profile:** Plants tend to stretch significantly during flowering, requiring ample vertical space. They produce dense, resinous buds with vibrant orange pistils. While moderately challenging due to its odor and height, it rewards growers with substantial yields. **Medical & Recreational Use:** Primarily sought after for its mood-enhancing and energizing properties, making it popular for daytime use. It's often used to combat fatigue, stress, and depressive moods, and can stimulate appetite. Due to its high THC content and racy effects, novice users should approach with caution.
