Shiesel
Also known as: Shizzle, Sour Diesel Haze
Shiesel Strain Overview
Shiesel is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2000s from the crossbreeding of two legendary strains: Sour Diesel and NYC Haze. This genetic combination brings together the cerebral stimulation of classic Haze varieties with the distinctive fuel-like aroma and potent effects of Sour Diesel. The strain gained popularity primarily on the East Coast of the United States before spreading to other markets, though it remains less commercially widespread than its parent strains.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense structure and vibrant green coloration, often accented by orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The visual appearance is characterized by its classic Haze-like bud structure with Diesel influences. Shiesel is known for its complex aromatic profile that combines the gassy, diesel notes inherited from Sour Diesel with the spicy, citrus undertones characteristic of Haze genetics.
Shiesel plants tend to exhibit sativa-dominant growth patterns with elongated internodal spacing and a tendency toward vertical growth. The strain has maintained a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its balanced yet potent effects and complex flavor profile. While not as commercially prevalent as some other Diesel or Haze hybrids, Shiesel represents an important genetic bridge between these two influential cannabis lineages.

Shiesel Strain Growing Information
Shiesel is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 9-11 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late October in northern hemisphere climates. Plants can reach heights of 150-200 cm indoors and up to 250 cm outdoors. Yields are moderate to high with proper care, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter indoors. The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors and responds well to training techniques like SCROG or LST to manage height and improve light penetration. Shiesel is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation but requires good ventilation and careful nutrient management due to its sativa-dominant growth patterns.
