Blackberry Diesel
Blackberry Diesel
Also known as: Blackberry Sour
Overview
Blackberry Diesel is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain (80% sativa/20% indica) created through crossing East Coast Sour Diesel (ECSD) and Plushberry. This striking strain was developed by an unknown breeder who sought to combine the sharp, potent diesel characteristics of ECSD with the sweet berry flavors of Plushberry. The result is a visually stunning cultivar that produces buds with purple and lavender hues, along with bright green coloration and thick golden hairs. The plant maintains the characteristic tall, branching structure of sativa genetics while offering the colorful yields influenced by its Plushberry parent. With THC levels reaching up to 23%, Blackberry Diesel has become a favorite among enthusiasts for both recreational and medical use, offering a potent cerebral experience that takes users on a euphoric journey while maintaining enough clarity for daytime activities.

Growing Information
Blackberry Diesel is a moderately challenging strain to cultivate that prefers warm, Mediterranean-like climates but adapts well to indoor environments. As a sativa-dominant plant, it grows tall with branching stalks and requires topping and training techniques for indoor cultivation due to height limitations. The strain flowers in 8-12 weeks (56-84 days), with some sources reporting as fast as 6 weeks. Indoor yields range from 12-16 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce up to 16 ounces per plant. The strain reaches maturity in early to mid-November for outdoor harvests. Plants prefer steady temperatures between 75-80°F, moderate humidity during vegetative growth (lowered during flowering), and benefit from high light intensity. Due to its very pungent aroma, odor control is essential for discrete indoor cultivation. The strain produces large, dense, trichome-covered buds with excellent resin production.
