Purple Diesel
Purple Diesel
Also known as: Purple Sour Diesel
Overview
Purple Diesel is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing Pre-98 Bubba Kush with Sour Diesel, though some variations exist with different parentage including Purple Kush and Sour Diesel. This strain was notably bred by Cali Connection and has gained recognition for its striking appearance and balanced effects. The strain typically exhibits a 60% sativa to 40% indica ratio, making it ideal for daytime use while still providing relaxation benefits. Purple Diesel is characterized by medium to large-sized, fluffy dark olive-green buds accented by fiery orange hairs and minty green leaves with distinctive purple undertones. The buds are covered in a frosty coating of milky white trichomes and sweet sticky resin, giving them a crystalline appearance. The strain features a unique terpene profile that includes rare terpenes like Linalool and Ocimene alongside more common ones such as Myrcene, Limonene, and Pinene, contributing to both its complex aroma and therapeutic potential.

Growing Information
Purple Diesel presents a moderate to above-average growing difficulty, making it better suited for experienced growers. The strain can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, thriving in warm, steady climates with temperatures between 65-78°F. Indoor flowering time is approximately 8 weeks (around 55-70 days), while outdoor plants finish in early October. The strain responds well to Screen of Green (SCROG) methods indoors, yielding about 14 ounces per square meter. Outdoor yields can reach 25-35 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. Plants grow with one central stem and many side branches, developing moderate trichome coverage. The strain requires attention to temperature and humidity control, with humidity levels preferably kept under 50% during flowering.
