Soul Diesel
Also known as: Soul Diesel OG, Soul D
Soul Diesel Strain Overview
Soul Diesel is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that combines the cerebral effects of sativa genetics with the physical relaxation of indica heritage. The strain was developed by crossing two legendary parent strains: Sour Diesel and an undisclosed OG Kush phenotype. Breeders aimed to create a strain that maintains the energetic, uplifting qualities of Sour Diesel while adding the full-body relaxation and pain-relieving properties associated with OG Kush varieties. The exact origins and breeder remain somewhat obscure in cannabis cultivation circles, with multiple seed banks claiming development, though it gained popularity in the early 2010s among medical and recreational users seeking a well-rounded experience.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, compact structure characteristic of its indica lineage, yet maintains some of the elongated shape seen in Sour Diesel phenotypes. The flowers display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions, complemented by a generous coating of amber trichomes and bright orange pistils. Soul Diesel is known for its distinctive aroma profile that combines fuel-like notes inherited from Sour Diesel with earthy, pine undertones from its OG Kush parentage.
Notable features include its balanced effects that many users describe as providing mental clarity alongside physical comfort, making it suitable for daytime or evening use depending on individual tolerance. The strain has gained particular attention for its complex terpene profile that delivers both pungent diesel notes and subtle citrus undertones. While not as widely available as its parent strains, Soul Diesel has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its harmonious blend of cerebral and physical effects.

Soul Diesel Strain Growing Information
Soul Diesel is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for intermediate growers. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October outdoors in the Northern Hemisphere. 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 controlled indoor environment but can thrive outdoors in Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to grow to medium height (3-5 feet indoors, 5-7 feet outdoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels (40-50% during flowering) to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and requires adequate spacing for air circulation.
