West Coast Sour Diesel
Also known as: West Coast Diesel, WCSD, Kerosene Kush
West Coast Sour Diesel Strain Overview
West Coast Sour Diesel is a sativa-dominant cannabis strain that emerged from the West Coast cannabis movement in the early 2010s. Bred primarily by NorStar Genetics, this strain was developed to capture the raw energy and creativity of Californian cannabis culture while intensifying the classic sativa qualities that modern consumers seek. The strain represents a West Coast interpretation of the legendary East Coast Sour Diesel, maintaining the signature diesel aroma and energetic effects while adding improved density and yield characteristics. West Coast Sour Diesel exhibits the classic sativa growth pattern with tall plants, elongated lateral branches, and long internodal spacing. The buds are dense and resinous with bright orange or amber pistils contrasting against vibrant green foliage. The strain is known for its extremely pungent diesel-like aroma that can penetrate concrete walls, requiring significant odor control during cultivation. This strain has gained recognition for its consistency across batches and its ability to maintain the authentic sour diesel profile that made the original strain legendary.
