Power Diesel
Also known as: Power Diesel OG, Diesel Power
Power Diesel Strain Overview
Power Diesel is a potent hybrid cannabis strain that combines the genetics of two legendary strains: Power Plant and NYC Diesel. This strain emerged in the early 2000s as breeders sought to create a high-energy, cerebral strain with the distinctive diesel aroma that had become popular among cannabis enthusiasts. The exact origins are somewhat uncertain, with multiple breeders claiming to have developed similar Diesel hybrids during this period, but Power Diesel has established itself as a distinct phenotype with consistent characteristics.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds that are dense and resinous, with a conical structure reminiscent of its Power Plant parent. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to lime green, often with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the buds. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty appearance that hints at its potency. The leaves tend to be broad with serrated edges, showing characteristics of both its indica and sativa heritage.
Power Diesel is particularly noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines fuel-like notes with citrus and earthy undertones. The strain's effects are characterized by an initial cerebral rush followed by gradual physical relaxation, making it popular among users seeking both mental stimulation and bodily comfort. Its balanced nature has contributed to its enduring popularity in both medical and recreational cannabis communities.

Power Diesel Strain Growing Information
Power Diesel is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures and low humidity to prevent mold. Plants tend to grow to medium height (4-6 feet outdoors) with a bushy structure that requires regular pruning and training to maximize light penetration. Power Diesel responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods and benefits from nutrient regimens designed for hybrid strains. Growers should monitor for common pests like spider mites and maintain good air circulation throughout the grow cycle.
