517 Diesel
517 Diesel
Overview
517 Diesel is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain created by Pure Michigan Genetics, representing a cross between the legendary Sour Diesel and Poison Kush genetics. This strain appears to be part of Pure Michigan Genetics' numbered series of regional cultivars, with the "517" likely referring to a Michigan area code. The strain combines the energizing characteristics of Sour Diesel with the unique terpene profile of Poison Kush, which itself contains Durban Poison and Burmese Kush genetics. The breeder describes the strain as having a "pungent diesel with Durban Poison and hints of Burmese Kush" aroma profile, suggesting a complex blend of fuel-like diesel notes complemented by the sweet, energizing characteristics of Durban Poison and the earthy undertones of Burmese Kush. This combination suggests a strain that would appeal to users seeking the classic Sour Diesel experience with additional complexity from the Kush genetics.
517 Diesel appears to be a boutique strain with limited commercial availability, as evidenced by the lack of extensive user reviews and testing data. Pure Michigan Genetics has used this strain as breeding stock for other crosses in their lineup, including 517 Gorilla Glue and 517 Cronic, indicating its value as a genetic foundation. The strain represents the modern trend of regional breeding programs creating unique expressions of classic genetics, combining time-tested favorites like Sour Diesel with more exotic genetics to create distinctive regional variations.

Growing Information
517 Diesel can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of approximately 67 days (9-10 weeks). As a sativa-dominant strain, it likely exhibits typical sativa growth characteristics including taller plant structure and longer flowering periods. The strain was originally bred only as regular (non-feminized) seeds by Pure Michigan Genetics. Indoor cultivation would benefit from training techniques to manage height, while outdoor growing would require warm climates with sufficient growing season length. Growers should expect medium to large yields based on the genetic lineage. The diesel genetics suggest plants may have strong odors requiring proper ventilation and odor control measures.
