Sour Cherry Diesel
Also known as: Sour Cherry, Cherry Diesel
Sour Cherry Diesel Strain Overview
Sour Cherry Diesel is a sativa-leaning hybrid cannabis strain that marries the legendary fuel-forward genetics of Sour Diesel with tart cherry characteristics. Created by crossing Sour Diesel with cherry-forward cultivars such as Cherry Pie, this modern boutique strain emerged in the late 2010s and quickly gained recognition for its distinctive aromatic profile and functional effects. The strain is positioned in the 60/40 sativa-to-indica range according to most growers and lab reports, though phenotype expression can vary slightly between cuts and breeders. Atlas Seed offers one of the most documented versions, featuring feminized seeds with a 50/50 genetic split. The strain exhibits excellent jar appeal with crystalline buds displaying bright green colors, occasional purple undertones, and prominent orange pistils. Well-grown samples show minimal leaf, pronounced calyx-to-leaf ratios, and a frosty surface that flashes under light, making it particularly photogenic in retail settings.

Sour Cherry Diesel Strain Growing Information
Sour Cherry Diesel is suitable for indoor, outdoor, and greenhouse cultivation with moderate difficulty level. The strain features a flowering time of 56-70 days (8-10 weeks), with two distinct phenotypes showing varying maturation times. Indoor yields range from 450-600 g/m² when parameters are optimized. The strain exhibits 70-110% stretch after flowering transition and grows tall with sturdy branches that support dense, resinous flowers. Plants are susceptible to powdery mildew and thrips, requiring vigilant IPM practices. Optimal environmental conditions include 24-28°C daytime temperatures, 45-50% RH in mid-flower, and PPFD near 900-1,150 μmol/m²/s. Late-flower heat control is crucial to avoid foxtailing. The strain prefers a slow dry at 60°F and 58-62% RH for 10-14 days, followed by a 4-8 week cure for maximum terpene expression.
