Chemdawg Sour Diesel

Chemdawg Sour Diesel: Earthy Citrus

CSD seeds will eventually grow into marvelous plants that are medium to tall and have super long leaves that droop toward the soil. The plants’ buds are covered with white and yellow pistils that look like hairs standing at full attention. While the larger leaves are entirely bright green, the shorter leaves right at the base of the buds are reddish in color. A closer inspection shows that the leaves act as solar panels, catching the sun’s powerful UV rays. This ultimately turns the sun’s rays into food for the plant. After the flowering stage is complete, it is time to harvest. The harvested nuggets are dense and thick and have shades of green, orange, and even purple. Being that this strain is over 30 years old, it has won its fair share of smaller titles and awards. Variants of this strain have won Cannabis Cup awards as well as Highlife Cup awards. If you are currently vetting your next strain to grow, you have come across an excellent choice. Perfect for intermediate growers looking to bolster their resume, Chemdawg Sour Diesel is a smart choice because of its high THC content and sizable yields come harvest time.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

This Sativa-dominant strain is known to be a bit tricky to get right for newer growers, however, cultivators with a medium level of experience should have no problem. Chemdawg Sour Diesel cannabis needs to be given close attention when faced with threats of excessive heat, mold, mildew, pests, and humidity. This strain’s stalks are also quite thin, so they’ll need additional support and protection if strong winds make an appearance.
