Double Sour Diesel
Also known as: Double Sour D, 2x Sour Diesel
Double Sour Diesel Strain Overview
Double Sour Diesel is a potent hybrid cannabis strain that represents an intensified version of the classic Sour Diesel. This strain was developed by crossing Sour Diesel with itself through selective breeding techniques, effectively doubling the signature characteristics that made the original strain famous. The exact origin of this specific breeding project is somewhat unclear in cannabis literature, with multiple breeders claiming to have developed similar 'double' or 'backcrossed' versions of Sour Diesel over the years. What distinguishes Double Sour Diesel is its amplified terpene profile and enhanced potency compared to standard Sour Diesel varieties.
The strain exhibits the classic Sour Diesel appearance with elongated, spear-shaped buds that are typically light to medium green in color with occasional orange pistils. The buds are often covered in a generous coating of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The most notable feature of Double Sour Diesel is its intense aroma, which combines the signature diesel fuel scent with pronounced citrus and earthy undertones. This powerful fragrance is often detectable even before opening the container, making it one of the more recognizable strains in the cannabis community.
Double Sour Diesel maintains the sativa-dominant effects of its parent strain while offering increased potency and longer-lasting effects. The strain typically flowers in 9-11 weeks and can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though it requires some experience due to its specific nutrient needs and sensitivity to environmental conditions. While not as widely documented as the original Sour Diesel, Double Sour Diesel has gained a following among experienced users seeking a more intense version of the classic strain's effects.

Double Sour Diesel Strain Growing Information
Double Sour Diesel is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, recommended for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of 9-11 weeks indoors and is ready for harvest in late October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The plants prefer a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with low humidity to prevent mold issues. Double Sour Diesel plants tend to grow tall (often reaching 150-200 cm indoors and 200-250 cm outdoors) and require regular pruning and training techniques like topping or SCROG to manage height and maximize yield. The strain is sensitive to nutrient levels and responds best to a balanced feeding schedule with careful monitoring of pH levels. Growers should ensure good air circulation and maintain proper humidity control throughout the flowering phase.
