White Light Diesel
Also known as: White Diesel, White Light
White Light Diesel Strain Overview
White Light Diesel is a hybrid cannabis strain that combines the genetics of White Widow and NYC Diesel, resulting in a balanced cultivar with characteristics from both parent strains. The strain emerged in the early 2000s as breeders sought to create a plant that maintained the resin production and potency of White Widow while incorporating the distinctive fuel-like aroma and cerebral effects of NYC Diesel. This genetic combination has produced a strain that has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its versatile effects and robust growth characteristics.
Visually, White Light Diesel plants typically display dense, conical buds covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give the flowers a frosty, white appearance reminiscent of its White Widow heritage. The buds often exhibit a mix of deep green and purple hues, with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the dense floral structure. The strain's name reflects both its visual characteristics and aromatic profile, combining the 'white' frosty appearance with the 'diesel' fuel-like scent inherited from its NYC Diesel lineage.
Notable features of White Light Diesel include its balanced hybrid effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation. The strain is known for producing generous amounts of resin, making it popular among concentrate producers and hash makers. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, White Light Diesel has maintained a consistent presence in cannabis culture, particularly among growers who appreciate its manageable cultivation requirements and reliable performance.

White Light Diesel Strain Growing Information
White Light Diesel is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height (100-150 cm indoors, 150-200 cm outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. 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.
