West Coast Poison Diesel
Also known as: WCPD, West Coast Poison, Poison Diesel
West Coast Poison Diesel Strain Overview
West Coast Poison Diesel is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that combines genetics from the West Coast region of the United States with classic diesel varieties. The strain emerged in the early 2010s from California's competitive cannabis breeding scene, where growers sought to create a potent strain with distinctive flavor profiles that would stand out in the expanding legal market. While its exact breeding history isn't fully documented, it represents the ongoing innovation in West Coast cannabis cultivation, where breeders frequently experiment with combining popular regional genetics.
The strain is characterized by dense, resinous buds that display a striking appearance with deep green coloration accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The nugs are typically medium to large in size and have a firm, compact structure. When properly cured, the buds break apart with a satisfying snap, releasing their complex aroma profile. The name 'Poison Diesel' reflects both its potent effects and its distinctive fuel-like scent that has become a hallmark of many West Coast hybrid strains.
West Coast Poison Diesel has gained recognition for its balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day. The strain has developed a following among connoisseurs who appreciate its complex terpene profile and reliable effects. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, it represents the type of regional specialty that has flourished in California's cannabis culture, where unique genetics are often developed and shared within local growing communities before gaining broader recognition.

West Coast Poison Diesel Strain Growing Information
West Coast Poison Diesel is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields of approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. The plants prefer a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. They tend to grow to a medium height of 4-6 feet, making them manageable for indoor setups. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold in the dense buds and providing adequate support during flowering as the resinous buds can become heavy. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods, with some growers reporting enhanced terpene production when using organic nutrients.
