Blue Diesel
Also known as: Blue City Diesel, New Blue Diesel, Sour Blue Diesel
Overview
Blue Diesel is a notable hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing the indica-dominant Blueberry strain with the sativa-dominant NYC Diesel strain, originally bred by Jordan of the Islands. This hybrid exhibits an indica-dominant profile, resulting in a moderately indica-leaning strain with balanced characteristics. The strain features THC levels ranging from 16% to 23%, positioning it as a moderately to highly potent variety, while maintaining low CBD content typically ranging from 0.20% to 0.5%.
Visually, Blue Diesel buds display stunning blue and purple hues mixed together, adorned with vibrant orange or burnt orange hairs and covered generously in resin. The strain emanates a light berry aroma with pungent undertones, carrying a subtle blueberry scent that is smooth and pleasant. The flavor profile offers a curious blend with clear hints of blueberry and even a dash of cotton candy sweetness. Blue Diesel produces a pleasant, moderate to long-lasting body buzz that leaves users feeling relaxed and happy, with a fast-acting stone that provides mood-elevating euphoria. The strain is particularly valued as a daytime smoke, allowing users to wake and bake while maintaining efficiency and productivity throughout the day.

Growing Information
Blue Diesel has a flowering time of 55 to 65 days (8-9 weeks), making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Plants generally grow to around 4 to 6 feet tall, though indoor heights typically reach 0-4 feet. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments, thriving in continental, sunny, temperate, and Mediterranean climates. Indoor yields average around 18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor cultivation can produce up to 21 ounces per plant. Plants display dense growth patterns requiring consistent trimming for proper light penetration and airflow, with moderate resistance to common pests. Outdoor growers should plant in late April to early May for harvest by late September to early October. The strain is considered easy to grow and beginner-friendly, being forgiving of minor environmental variations while still producing good yields.
