Growing Information
Original Diesel is a hybrid with slight indica dominance, known for vigorous growth and substantial yield potential, exhibiting a flowering time between 63 to 77 days and producing dense, resinous buds. The plant is easy to clone and vigorous in vegetative growth, preferring nitrogen and magnesium nutrients, with lots of stretch during flower and huge yield potential, typically harvested around day 77-84. However, growers generally agree that original Diesel can be difficult to grow, chiefly due to its sensitivity to nutrients and susceptibility to mildew and other pests/pathogens, and generally isn't a high-yielder. The strain is fairly easy to grow once established, with plants reaching moderate heights indoors while growing large enough outdoors to produce heavy yields, producing dense, frosty flowers with big, swollen calyxes and a sticky coating of resin.
