Therapy Sour Diesel
Also known as: TSD, Therapy Diesel
Therapy Sour Diesel Strain Overview
Therapy Sour Diesel is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that combines the therapeutic potential of high-CBD genetics with the distinctive characteristics of the classic Sour Diesel. This strain was developed to offer a more balanced cannabinoid profile than traditional high-THC varieties, making it appealing to users seeking milder psychoactive effects alongside potential therapeutic benefits. The exact breeding timeline and origin are somewhat obscure in cannabis literature, but it appears to have emerged in the late 2010s as breeders sought to create strains with enhanced CBD content while preserving desirable flavor and aroma profiles.
The strain exhibits characteristics of both its indica and sativa heritage, typically displaying a growth structure that is moderately bushy with elongated, spear-shaped buds. The flowers are usually medium to large in size, featuring a dense structure covered in a generous coating of trichomes that give them a frosty appearance. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to lime green, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The buds are known for their sticky resin production, which contributes to both their potency and their distinctive aromatic profile.
Notable features of Therapy Sour Diesel include its unique cannabinoid ratio, which typically features a higher CBD content than most Sour Diesel phenotypes while maintaining the strain's characteristic terpene profile. This combination creates what many users describe as a 'functional' high that allows for daytime use without significant impairment. The strain has gained popularity in medical cannabis circles and among recreational users seeking a more moderate experience, though comprehensive scientific research on this specific phenotype remains limited.

Therapy Sour Diesel Strain Growing Information
Therapy Sour Diesel is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 9-11 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants typically reach a medium height of 4-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors. Therapy Sour Diesel prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight and good air circulation. Special considerations include monitoring for mold and mildew due to the dense bud structure, particularly in humid conditions. The plants respond well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
