Cosmic Diesel
Also known as: Cosmic D, Cosmic Diesel OG
Cosmic Diesel Strain Overview
Cosmic Diesel is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that combines genetics from two legendary parent strains: Sour Diesel and Cosmic Queen. This strain emerged in the early 2010s from breeders seeking to blend the cerebral stimulation of Sour Diesel with the relaxing, spacey effects of Cosmic Queen. While its exact breeding history isn't extensively documented, Cosmic Diesel has gained recognition among cannabis enthusiasts for its unique combination of effects and flavor profile.
The plant typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance featuring bright green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance that hints at its potency. The buds often have a slightly elongated structure reminiscent of its Sour Diesel lineage, with tight calyx formation that contributes to its visual appeal.
Cosmic Diesel is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines fuel-like notes with sweeter, fruitier undertones. The strain has gained popularity in both recreational and medicinal cannabis communities, though it remains less commercially widespread than its parent strains. Its balanced effects make it suitable for various times of day, though individual experiences may vary based on phenotype and cultivation methods.

Cosmic Diesel Strain Growing Information
Cosmic Diesel is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though it thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to reach medium height (4-6 feet outdoors, 3-4 feet indoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration. Cosmic Diesel prefers a stable climate with temperatures between 68-80°F (20-27°C) and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold. The strain is somewhat resistant to common pests and diseases but requires good air circulation around the dense buds.
