Super Diesel
Also known as: Super D, Super Diesel OG
Super Diesel Strain Overview
Super Diesel is a potent hybrid cannabis strain that combines the classic Diesel lineage with other genetics to create a balanced yet powerful experience. The exact genetic origins are somewhat debated among cannabis enthusiasts, but most sources agree it descends from the original Diesel family, likely crossed with other indica-dominant strains to enhance its relaxing properties while maintaining the characteristic cerebral effects. The strain emerged in the early 2000s as breeders sought to amplify the desirable traits of Diesel varieties while creating a more well-rounded hybrid suitable for various consumption preferences.
Visually, Super Diesel typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, compact structure characteristic of indica-influenced hybrids. The flowers display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues, often covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating a striking contrast against the green background. The strain's name accurately reflects its most prominent feature: a pungent, fuel-like aroma with undertones of citrus and earth that can be quite intense, especially when the buds are broken apart.
Super Diesel has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced effects that combine mental stimulation with physical relaxation. The strain is known for its fast-acting onset, with effects typically felt within minutes of consumption. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Super Diesel has maintained a consistent presence in cannabis markets, particularly in regions where Diesel varieties are appreciated. Its potency and distinctive sensory profile have made it a favorite among experienced consumers seeking a strong yet manageable hybrid experience.

Super Diesel Strain Growing Information
Super Diesel is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower within 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready by mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but tends to thrive in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors, while outdoor plants can grow taller, up to 180-200 cm. Super Diesel prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. Growers should be mindful of the strain's strong odor during flowering, which may require carbon filtration systems for indoor grows. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields and manage height. Proper nutrient management is important, as Super Diesel can be sensitive to overfeeding, particularly during the flowering stage.
