Alderpoint Sour Diesel F3
Alderpoint Sour Diesel F3
Also known as: APSD F3
Overview
Alderpoint Sour Diesel F3 is an exclusive third-generation selection bred by Aficionado Seeds (also distributed by Sunny Valley Seed Co), representing a refined evolution of the original Alderpoint Sour Diesel line. This sativa-dominant strain was developed in the Alderpoint area of Southern Humboldt County's mountains and is specifically acclimated to similar arid-temperate climates. The strain features a complex genetic lineage involving Leggett Sour Diesel, a clone-only cutting that has been described as the breeder's favorite Sour Diesel phenotype. According to the breeder's notes, Aficionado completed testing for the F3 generation in May 2023 and considers it superior to the F1 generation in terms of consistency and overall quality. The F3 selection demonstrates more consistent progeny with an enhanced presence of the classic Sour Diesel characteristics. The strain exhibits impressive phenotypic diversity, with approximately 50% of phenotypes displaying purple characteristics while the other 50% showcase the classic bright lime-green coloration typical of diesel strains, accompanied by distinctive dark leathery green leaves that are hallmarks of authentic sour diesel genetics. The plants produce dense, elongated flower structures with exceptional resin production that forms tall trichomes that can easily fall off during handling, requiring careful post-harvest processing.

Growing Information
Alderpoint Sour Diesel F3 is considered a moderate to advanced growing strain with a flowering time of 9-10 weeks (63-70 days). The plants exhibit typical sativa growth patterns, stretching significantly during flower and growing quite large, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoor growers should provide adequate vertical space and training techniques to manage height. The strain performs exceptionally well in greenhouse environments and summer light deprivation setups. For optimal results, the breeder recommends a specific cold cure process at 50°F and 50% humidity in darkness for 3-4 weeks post-harvest to fully develop the signature sour aroma and flavor profile. Plants prefer selection for dark leathery green leaves with a distinctive sheen, which are indicators of authentic sour diesel genetics. Heavy yields are expected, particularly in sun-grown outdoor conditions. The strain shows good adaptation to Mediterranean climates due to its Humboldt County origins.
