Lavender Diesel
Lavender Diesel
Overview
Lavender Diesel is a hybrid cannabis cultivar created by crossing Lavender and NYC Diesel strains. Growers and consumers often describe it as a sativa-leaning hybrid with balanced mental clarity and a soothing, body-light finish. Early online reports of Lavender Diesel entries surfaced in the early-to-mid 2010s across Western US markets, coinciding with the diesel renaissance driven by East Coast genetics. The strain emerged as breeders sought to blend the unmistakable diesel nose with the soothing, perfumed qualities of Lavender, a Soma Seeds classic. Nuggets of this strain tend to be shaped like cones and bare lighter shades of green while having small brown and tan patches of pistils, with small round light minty green nugs featuring lots of dark red orange hairs and a coating of tiny golden colored crystal trichomes. Lavender Diesel has gained steady traction because it bridges two beloved flavor families without veering into extremes.

Growing Information
Flowering time commonly falls in the 8 to 10 week range indoors, with outdoor and greenhouse growers in temperate zones typically targeting late September to mid-October harvests. Lavender Diesel tends to stretch moderately after the light cycle is flipped, often doubling in height during the first 2 to 3 weeks of flowering. The strain is considered moderately difficult to grow, suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. A semi-open canopy responds well to topping, low-stress training, and SCROG-style netting to even out tops and support colas, with keeping canopy temperatures in a comfortable range helping preserve aroma intensity. Lavender Diesel performs well in aerated, well-draining media that maintain oxygen at the root zone, as healthy roots correlate strongly with terpene expression. Expected yields are moderate, with proper environmental control and training techniques important for optimal results.
