West Coast Diesel Strain Growing Information
West Coast Diesel is considered a moderately challenging strain to grow, best suited for experienced cultivators. The plant has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks (63-70 days) and can produce impressive yields when properly cultivated. Indoor yields typically range from 450-550 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 600-800 grams per plant in optimal conditions. The strain grows tall with significant stretch during early flowering, often reaching 4-6 feet indoors and up to 10 feet outdoors. Growers should employ training techniques like LST, topping, or SCROG to manage height and maximize yields. The plant thrives in warm, Mediterranean-like climates with plenty of sunlight and well-draining soil. Indoor cultivation requires careful temperature control (70-80°F during vegetation, 65-75°F during flowering) and humidity management (60-70% veg, 40-50% flower). Support for heavy branches may be necessary as buds develop considerable weight.
