Original Diesel BX1
Also known as: Original Diesel BX1, Original Diesel Backcross 1
What is the Original Diesel BX1 strain?
Original Diesel BX1 is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Original Diesel BX1 is a stabilized backcross of the legendary Original Diesel (also known as 'NYC Diesel' or 'Sour Diesel') strain, created to preserve and enhance its distinctive characteristics while improving genetic stability. The 'BX1' designation indicates this is a first-generation backcross, where the original Diesel was crossed with one of its offspring to reinforce desired traits while maintaining genetic purity. This breeding approach was undertaken to capture the elusive qualities of the original 1990s Diesel phenotype that had become increasingly difficult to find in consistent form.
The strain exhibits the classic Diesel appearance with dense, elongated buds that display a vibrant green coloration accented by fiery orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The buds are typically medium to large in size with a structure that combines both indica and sativa characteristics. Original Diesel BX1 is particularly noted for its pungent aroma profile that has become synonymous with the Diesel family - a complex blend of fuel, citrus, and earthy undertones that intensifies when the buds are broken apart.
Notable features include improved genetic stability compared to earlier Diesel variants, making it more predictable for both cultivators and consumers. While maintaining the cerebral effects associated with the original, this backcross version often exhibits slightly more balanced effects between mind and body. The strain has gained recognition among connoisseurs for preserving the authentic Diesel experience that had become increasingly diluted in many modern 'Diesel' varieties, serving as a genetic reference point for this influential cannabis lineage.

How do you grow Original Diesel BX1?
Original Diesel BX1 is considered an intermediate-level strain to cultivate, offering more genetic stability than its predecessor but still requiring attention to detail. The flowering time typically ranges from 9-11 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Plants exhibit moderate to tall growth, often reaching 5-7 feet outdoors and 3-5 feet indoors with proper training.
Yield is generally good to excellent, with indoor growers reporting 14-18 ounces per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 16-24 ounces each. The strain performs well in both soil and hydroponic systems, though it prefers stable environmental conditions with good air circulation to prevent mold in its dense buds. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some sensitivity to overfeeding during the flowering phase.
Preferred growing conditions include controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed, though it also thrives in Mediterranean-like outdoor climates. Special considerations include regular pruning to improve light penetration and air flow through the canopy, as well as monitoring for pests that are attracted to its strong aroma. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage height and maximize yield.
