Old Dirty Diesel
Also known as: ODD, Old Dirty D
Old Dirty Diesel Strain Overview
Old Dirty Diesel is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that combines classic diesel genetics with contemporary breeding techniques. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, the strain appears to have emerged in the early 2010s from underground breeding circles on the West Coast of the United States. It represents a deliberate attempt to preserve the pungent, fuel-like aroma characteristic of classic diesel strains while enhancing potency and yield through selective breeding.
The strain's name references both its lineage and its distinctive sensory profile. 'Old Dirty' likely alludes to the earthy, sometimes funky undertones that complement the dominant diesel aroma, creating a complex olfactory experience. Visually, Old Dirty Diesel typically produces dense, resinous buds with a forest green coloration often accented by purple hues and vibrant orange pistils. The nugs are usually coated in a thick layer of frosty trichomes, giving them a shimmering appearance under light.
Notably, Old Dirty Diesel has gained a reputation among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and robust flavor profile. While not as widely commercialized as some mainstream diesel varieties, it maintains a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities who appreciate its combination of classic diesel characteristics with modern hybrid vigor. The strain's genetic stability can vary between different breeders' versions, as it hasn't been standardized by major seed banks.

Old Dirty Diesel Strain Growing Information
Old Dirty Diesel is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain tends to produce medium to high yields when grown under optimal conditions, with indoor growers reporting 400-500 grams per square meter and outdoor growers achieving 500-600 grams per plant.
The plants typically exhibit a hybrid growth pattern with moderate height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors. Old Dirty Diesel responds well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though indoor growing allows better control over the environment. The strain prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold (due to dense bud structure) and implementing odor control measures as the plants emit a strong, pungent aroma during flowering. Some phenotypes may benefit from low-stress training techniques to maximize light penetration and yield.
