Sour Lemon D
Also known as: Sour Lemon Diesel, Sour Lemon
Sour Lemon D Strain Overview
Sour Lemon D is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its distinctive citrus profile and balanced effects. The strain is believed to have originated from a cross between Sour Diesel and an unknown Lemon strain, though some sources suggest Lemon Skunk or Super Lemon Haze as potential parent strains. This genetic combination results in a plant that inherits the fuel-like pungency of Sour Diesel while incorporating bright, zesty lemon notes from its citrus lineage. The strain emerged in the early 2010s and has become a favorite among connoisseurs who appreciate its complex flavor profile and uplifting cerebral effects.
The appearance of Sour Lemon D is characterized by medium to large, dense buds that are typically forest green with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are generously coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature vibrant orange pistils that contrast against the green foliage. The buds are often elongated and tapered, resembling the structure typical of Sour Diesel phenotypes. The aroma is immediately noticeable upon opening a container, with a powerful combination of diesel fuel and sharp lemon citrus that can be quite pungent.
Notable features of Sour Lemon D include its strong terpene profile dominated by limonene and myrcene, which contribute to both its distinctive aroma and its reported effects. The strain is known for producing a clear-headed, energetic high that many users find suitable for daytime consumption. While primarily sativa-dominant, some phenotypes may exhibit more balanced hybrid characteristics. The strain has gained recognition in various cannabis competitions and has been used by breeders to develop other citrus-forward hybrids.

Sour Lemon D Strain Growing Information
Sour Lemon D is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 9-11 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to grow tall (5-7 feet outdoors) and may require training techniques like topping or LST to manage height. Sour Lemon D is resistant to most common molds and pests but benefits from good air circulation. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and produces its best terpene expression when exposed to slight temperature drops during the final flowering weeks.
