Sour Diesel Bx
Also known as: Sour D Bx, Sour Diesel Backcross
Sour Diesel Bx Strain Overview
Sour Diesel Bx is a stabilized backcross of the legendary Sour Diesel strain, created to preserve and enhance the classic characteristics of the original while improving genetic consistency. The 'Bx' designation indicates this is a backcross, meaning breeders crossed Sour Diesel with one of its parent strains or a closely related genetic line, then selectively bred the offspring to reinforce desirable traits. This breeding approach aims to maintain the distinctive Sour Diesel profile while creating more predictable growing characteristics and stable expression of its signature effects.
The strain exhibits the classic Sour Diesel appearance with elongated, spear-shaped buds that are typically light to medium green with occasional orange pistils. The flowers are often less dense than typical indica varieties, characteristic of its sativa heritage, and are covered in a generous coating of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. The most notable feature remains its pungent aroma profile that combines fuel-like diesel notes with citrus undertones, creating the distinctive 'sour' scent that gives the strain its name.
Sour Diesel Bx is particularly valued by cultivators for its improved genetic stability compared to some Sour Diesel phenotypes, which can be notoriously variable. While maintaining the cerebral, energizing effects that made the original famous, this backcross version typically offers more consistent growth patterns, flowering times, and cannabinoid profiles. The strain has gained popularity among both medical and recreational users who seek the classic Sour Diesel experience with greater reliability in both cultivation and consumption.

Sour Diesel Bx Strain Growing Information
Sour Diesel Bx is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, more forgiving than some Sour Diesel phenotypes but still requiring attention to detail. The flowering time typically ranges from 9-11 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late October. Plants can reach heights of 5-7 feet outdoors and 3-5 feet indoors with proper training. Yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers typically achieving 14-18 ounces per square meter and outdoor growers reporting 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in warm, Mediterranean-like climates when grown outside. Indoor cultivation benefits from techniques like Screen of Green (SCROG) or low-stress training to manage height and maximize light penetration. Sour Diesel Bx is somewhat resistant to common molds and pests but requires good air circulation, particularly in humid conditions. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with sensitivity to overfeeding, especially during the flowering phase. The backcross breeding has resulted in more consistent growth patterns than the original Sour Diesel, but phenotypical variation can still occur.
