Oregon Diesel
Oregon Diesel
Overview
Oregon Diesel is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that was bred specifically for the Pacific Northwest climate, combining the genetics of NYC Diesel and Blackberry. Originally popularized by Oregrown and documented by growers like Ray, who created a distinctive phenotype that flowers early outdoors in 17 hours of light, the strain was developed to address the challenges of mold and mildew common in the Pacific Northwest's climate. Oregon Diesel exhibits dense, compact buds with deep green coloration and rich purple undertones, featuring vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of sandy white crystal trichomes. The strain is notable for its complex terpene profile, with high concentrations of myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene creating its distinctive diesel aroma mixed with fruity blackberry notes and subtle pine undertones. Different breeders have produced variations of this strain, with some versions including autoflowering genetics through crosses with Lowryder 2, making it adaptable to various growing conditions while maintaining its therapeutic potency and unique aromatic profile.

Growing Information
Oregon Diesel is considered moderate difficulty to grow and thrives in cooler, wet climates typical of the Pacific Northwest. The strain has a flowering time of 56-63 days indoors and finishes early outdoors in September when planted in June. Indoor plants typically reach 3-4 feet in height while outdoor plants can grow 6-8 feet tall. Expected yields are 350-450 grams per square meter indoors and 700-800 grams per plant outdoors. The strain responds well to low-stress training (LST) and topping techniques, requires good ventilation due to dense bud structure, and benefits from support for heavy branches. It prefers temperatures between 70-80°F during the day with cooler nights to enhance purple coloration, and performs best in well-draining, organically enriched soil with neutral pH levels.
