Diesel Strains: Cannabis with Diesel Lineage

Where Do Diesel Cannabis Seeds Come From?

Having delineated the genetic ancestry of the Diesel family, let’s take a closer look into where these strains come from. This not only helps us gain a deeper respect for the bloodline, but as well it helps us develop a better plan for dealing with possible phenotypic variations. Let’s start with Chemdawg. This strain is a baby of Thai and Nepalese landrace strains and is considered one of the great landrace inspired indicas of all time. It is known for its euphoric and sedative, as well as medical effects, and has won awards the world over. Lemon Thai and Hindu Kush make up the OG Kush side of this indica hybrid, both incredible breeders and are timeless classics on their own. The Thai strains tend to be sweet and peppery, herbaceous and incredibly mood elevating. Nepalese and Hindu Kush range genetics are some of the most cherished in the landrace indica world. They are known for being smooth and both physically and psychologically relaxing, their flavors are of pine, currant and incense and they make wonderful and resilient parent strains. Pile all of this love together and you’ve got the beginning of the Diesel family lineage. The Diesel selections available through Kind Seed Co are bred in the US by dedicated cannabis seed farmers, specifically for purchase, delivery and cultivation within the United States of America. So that every seed you sow has the potential to grow award winning buds, we store our selection in ideal conditions, in temperature and humidity-controlled environments, until you place your order.

Seed Storage Of Diesel Cannabis Seeds

How to properly care for seeds is something to be taken seriously and the storage of Diesel cannabis seeds is no different. Just so we’re clear, Kind Seed Co has become a top customer rated distributor of the world’s best cannabis seeds for a number of reasons. Though it may start with our selection, it all comes down to quality. We are confident that our seeds arrive intact because we take great care to keep them that way. Cannabis seeds prefer 30% relative humidity and approximately 42-45℉ to stay viable without germinating, heating up, freezing or drying out. This is what we maintain for our entire collection, so you can be sure that you’re purchasing quality products and, for your added protection, we offer a client satisfaction guarantee with each order placed. Say you live in a place where it is still illegal to cultivate your own crops and are planning to store your collection of cannabis seeds long term, there are some other things to take into consideration. Seeds degrade when exposed to light and oxygen, so keep them in the space with the least environmental fluctuation. Also, the less you move seeds around, the less prone they are to damage, so store your Diesel seeds in a place where you are certain of their safety, where they won’t be jostled or crushed. Finally, and once you have the storage deal dialed in, it is okay to open the case every now and then, check your humidity and temperature, and even trade with friends.

Germinating Diesel Seeds

Germinating Diesel seeds from Kind Seed Co is the first step to harvesting a killer crop of award crushing sativa buds. However, before we get to that, make sure that your grow is properly set up and tested. This ensures that your seedlings have a safe environment to thrive in once they break ground and establish. We are talking about a heavily sativa dominant cultivar, so make some space and get those screens ready. Alright, so for germination, you will need a small glass and some fish emulsion, seaweed extract or other source of trace minerals for your roots to start off with, and you will need some distilled or r/o water. Add a couple drops of your minerals to a small, clean glass and fill with clean water. If you happen to be on a well system and go direct from ground to tap, you will not need to add any minerals at this stage. Place your seeds inside the glass and sit it in a cupboard overnight. Next day, grab a clean plate and a couple paper towels, fold one of the towels over the plate and pour your seeds and solution onto it. Lay the next towel over the seeds and soak up the solution, pouring the remainder off so as to avoid oversaturation. Keep this package moist, but not soaked and leave it in the dark for a couple days. When the tap roots emerge from your seeds, carefully lift them off their cozy beds and plant them into 4” pots or rockwool.

Growing Diesel Cannabis Plants

Diesel weed is some of the most famous dank in history and growing Diesel cannabis plants, though sometimes tricky, is about as rewarding as it gets. For those who love a good sativa, and there are many strains indica heavy in nature as well, you can’t do much better than Diesel strains. If germination has come off without a hitch and you have your seeds sitting pretty in little pots or pucks, then it is time to spark the grow space to life. Weed Seeds’ Diesel sativas like wide open, well ventilated, outdoor spaces with lots of sun. Inside, this botanical likes Screen of Green (ScrOG) training, whereby plants are spread out using screen or mesh guides, generating ideal light penetration and a more balanced yield. Once your seedlings establish root systems, they are ready for the vegging stage. This comprises developing structure and health through the screen training method, appropriate nutrient delivery and through providing an ideal atmosphere for foliage to flourish in. Growing plants outside may require you to start seeds inside a couple months before the weather is cooperative. This is to ensure you get the most out of your Weed Seeds weed seeds before the weather turns in the Fall. Outdoor Diesel gardening may also require protection from shifty weather patterns. Once Diesel plants hit maturity, they stretch, so it is important to ensure they have the space to do so. Cooler temperatures during developmental stages will trigger anthocyanins in most Diesel strains, generating an array of purple hues. When your resin glands are white, the whole crop is ready for the chop.

Growing Flowers From Diesel Seeds Indoors

To grow the best flowers from Diesel seeds indoors, you need the best genetics, and that starts with Kind Seed Co. Once your seedlings have become strong, they can be transplanted into the pot they will end up in. Because you opt for screen methodology, choose a pot five or ten times the size of what you would use for a Sea of Green, approximately ten to twenty gallons. This somewhat simulates open ground and provides each plant with the space it requires to thrive. In a controlled environment, Diesel strains can handle a temperature range of 68-80℉, anything above which will demand more advanced grow techniques, such as adding CO2 and adjusting nutrients accordingly. Humidity should start at 75% for seedlings, moving through 65% and 55% humidity for veg and ending up around 40% for the final stages of flower. The vegging stage will last as long as you say, only shifting from veg to flower when you switch the timer from eighteen or twenty hours of light per day to twelve. It is wise to at least wait until pre flower, at which time plants have reached maturity, especially important for those growing regular seeds, as this is the time when males reveal themselves. Flowering times of Diesel strains vary, but they generally fall within the ten to thirteen week mark. Diesel autoflowers are different only in that they do not like heavy pruning or transplants, don’t need a flip and are finished in the time it takes a photo strain to bud.

Growing Cannabis Flower Outdoors From Diesel Seed

Growing cannabis flowers outdoors is a fine way to get back to the roots of cultivation, and Diesel seeds from Kind Seed Co are your ticket to the revolution. There are a number of things to consider when you are growing a sativa dominant cannabis strain outside. Even if you opt for the more indica heavy selection the Diesel family has to offer, those who don’t think ahead are in for a rude awakening. When to start seeds early is the number one question asked by growers looking to farm their crops under natural sunlight. Diesel requires temperatures consistently above 65℉, need a couple months to veg properly and need approximately two and a half to three months to flower. For these reasons, starting seeds in March for May planting is a safe bet in more northern climes. Soil construction is another consideration. Depending on where you are in America, you can have as many as six or seven different soil types to deal with, some of them not so hospitable. This calls for a homemade mix and nothing is better than living soil, especially outside. Full sun all day long is the plot you need if you are to grow award winning Diesel buds. You will also need a space that offers consistent ventilation, and which can be easily protected from pests and herbivores. Certain parts of the country are prone to mid-summer rains, cyclones, tornadoes even, so something like a hoop tunnel or greenhouse is always a bonus when caring for cannabis outside.

Typical Aroma Of Diesel Cannabis Buds

Harkening back to the Original or Early Diesel strain and working our way through Chemdawg, Sour Diesel and the host of offspring, the bouquets get quite wild. Typical aromas include citrus, skunk, pine, pepper and, of course, an overwhelming stench of diesel fuel. Some Diesel strains also exhibit aromas of berries and tropical fruit, but no matter what, all of them are pungent. Well grown and well cured Diesel buds are prized as some of the tastiest and most odorous of the cannabis realm. Chemdawg OG, for example, is a multiple award winner in concentrate categories, having bagged first place in the 2010 420 Growers Cup and 9th place overall in the 2019 Emerald Cup. Chemdawg live resins are pungent and sweet, floral, fruity and diesel fuelled. NYC Diesel is another strain, award winning for both its potency and its array of botanical flavors and aromas, especially as a live resin. OG Kush comes to us through Hindu Kush and Lemon Thai, two very different strains. Hindu offers pine, grape, punky woods, incense and mountain herbs, while Lemon Thai is favored for its sweet and sour lemon pepper profile. There are few aromatic combinations as mouthwatering as Diesel ganja, and that’s just the immediate family. Smoke is generally thick, pungent, hashy and peppery to the consumer, while the onlooker senses all the sweetness without the char. The Kind Seed Co warehouse is packed to the rafters with Diesel strains and hybrid offspring, and we have all the modifications so you can keep trying something new.

Harvesting Time When Growing Diesel Strains

The harvest is the wonderful time of year when you get to reap the rewards of all your hard work. It takes months to grow a Diesel sativa effectively, and on a timeline where so many things can go wrong, we look forward to the chop. Regardless of whether you are cultivating a sativa like Sour or NYC Diesel or an indica like Chemdawg OG, the trichomes are what you watch for. When those resin glands swell and shift from clear to milky with just the slightest hint of amber, you know your weed is at its peak. The sativa heavy end of the Weed Seeds Diesel family takes anywhere from four to six months to go from seed to harvest. Average Diesel strains exhibit an eight to twelve week flowering cycle so, work in the veg time and you’re looking at two harvests per year. If you opt for autos, that quickly turns into four harvests per year, and Sea of Green (SOG) grows are about the same since they run on flower time plus two weeks. Some growers do so to harvest CBG or CBD. The CBD Diesel selection at Weed Seeds is filled with medicinally inspired strains, and the huge THC rock stars are fine being chopped early to harness that CBG goodness. Since CBG develops before CBDA and THCA, and since THCA develops after CBDA, we see a schedule emerge. As a general rule, CBG farms harvest two weeks before the final due date, before THCA has a chance to gain momentum.

What Yield Can You Get From Diesel Plants

What kinds of yields you can get from your Diesel plants depends largely on a number of factors. First, it depends on which of the Weed Seeds genetics you choose. Indica or sativa dominance plays a major role in how you grow and what you can gain from your Diesel selections. Secondly, growing indoors and out sit at opposite ends of the cultivation spectrum, so there is a lot of wiggle room where predictions are concerned. Finally, what type of experience you have and how you apply that to your grow will dictate much of how your crop turns out. Typically, photoperiod Diesels such as Sour D deliver upwards of 1000 grams per plant in ideal outdoor environments and as much as 650 grams or 23 ounces per m2 inside. Diesel autoflowers are some of the most fun to explore because they deliver large hauls and in half the time as their photoperiod family members. A Sour Diesel auto is capable of delivering up to 400 grams per m2, or half the weed in half the time. When we talk about the Chemdawg and OG side, we are talking about landrace sativas and indicas as their genetic backbone. Hindu Kush is known to produce around 550 grams per m2, Lemon Thai almost 1000, and the lovechild OG Kush indica produces a whopping 600 grams per plant in ideal conditions. Take a crack at any number of these strains and you see what type of yield you can expect, and that’s cured buds.

Are Diesel Buds High in THC?

Though the award winners have reached counts of 27% THC or higher, Diesel strains generally fall within the 17-24% range. We experience such divergence because of the vast differences in the parent genetics. OG Kush, for example, is a blend of pure sativa and pure indica genetics, so you bet that there can be variance across phenotypes. Kind Seed Co offers a broad array of Diesel strains, parents and offspring, so you have the freedom to choose the strain perfect for you. Commonly, the Kush side sits between 20-27%, Chemdawg at 15-25% and Thai landrace strains generally sit at approximately 19%. The closer you get to landrace cultivars, the lower the THC count and the smoother the experience. The crazier a hybrid you come across, you can generally expect the THC count to be record smashing and the experience to be out of this world. Though Diesel buds are inherently high in THC, tetrahydrocannabinol acts differently when combined with other cannabinoids and terpenes. Some may know that cannabidiol tends to take the edge of high THC weed, since CBD is a natural stress reliever. Some terpenes will amplify the effects of THC, as is the case with caryophyllene and myrcene, terpinolene and linalool, all considered sleep aids, alongside offering other health and wellness benefits. The high THC of Diesel sativas pairs beautifully with limonene and pinene to boost psychological and emotional positivity. So, the short answer to the high THC question is yes, but there is a lot more in these buds than simple psychotropia.

Typical Effects of Smoking Diesel

Typical effects of smoking Diesel chronic include intense euphoria, haziness and happiness. The original Diesel strain is known for being an instant mood elevator, for providing energy boosts, focus and creativity. But there is a lot more to the Diesel family lineage than just the original here at KSCO, so let’s look at just what we are dealing with. Parents of Diesel, Chemdawg and Super Skunk, OG Kush, Hindu Kush and Lemon Thai, are all prized in one form or another. Getting back to the roots, Lemon Thai is energizing and relaxing. A moderate THC count and a plethora of high-test terpenes make this strain elevating and engaging. Hindu Kush, one of the most prized of the Kush family lineup, is favored for its arousal, for its calming and relaxing qualities, and for its penchant for sending one off to a restful night’s sleep. Super Skunk is famed for its blend of sativa and indica effects. Energizing, engaging, relaxing, couchlocky and able to oust aches and pains, there is little Super Skunk can’t handle. OG Kush is another rock star of the hybrid world. Since this bud is almost perfectly balanced, consumers experience strong cerebral euphoria and engaged and creative mindsets. Relaxation is trademark for Kush and, as the indica side slides in and the sativa begins to wane, utter chill is the only thing on the horizon. Chemdawg is another winner in any circle. Its effects range from uplifting energy boosts to umbrella relaxation, covering everything from physical pain and discomfort to PMS, muscle spasms and migraines.

Typical Flavors of Diesel Family Strains

Flavors typical of Kind Seed Co’s Diesel family strains are some of the most unique, coveted and cherished in cannabis. Rich and pungent diesel fuel, chemical acridity, sweet, sour and bitter citrus, floral arrays, earth, woods and spice are all present here. Diesel is known for its earthy, fuelly bitterness and a sickly sweet aroma of fermented lemons and skunk. Moving backward, we get hints of juniper and incense out of Hindu Kush, and we taste citrus, earth, rotted woods and pine out of OG. Chemdawg is one of the tastiest strains out there, packed with fresh and dried fruits, fuelly chemical cues and floral and herbaceous notes. When we move forward through the lineage, we find strains like Blueberry Diesel, a sweet and sour berrylicious blast of fuelly fruit and spice. We also see blends such as Cheese Diesel, or Chiesel, as it is also known. This strain is so delicious and unique, infamous for delivering a sweet and sour, skunky and cheesy lemon lime aroma and flavor profile. Taking it a step further, the offspring of Diesel strains also have children of their own. Cinderella Mist, for example, is an earthy, citrus diesel wonder weed everyone should try. Girl Scout Diesel boasts citrus, diesel and pine. CBD Black Diesel is one of the most delectable creations out there, and lays waste to woes with ease. Its bouquet is one of grapefruit and pine, fruity diesel and sour skunk, a bucket list strain for any epicurean palate.

Baking and Making Edibles With Diesel Buds

Baking and making edibles with Diesel buds is a wise move for anyone who enjoys the speedy nature of these strains, but who likes the hit to be a bit more physical. Diesel marijuana is perfectly primed to make into mouthwatering, adults only marvels of confection. Those new to the edibles scene may wonder how to get the weed into the meal without there actually being chucks of weed to get stuck in your teeth, so let us paint a picture. The first step to making Diesel edibles is to decarboxylate the product you are going to use. Whether it is Sour Diesel, Chemdawg OG, CIndy Mist, Lemon Haze Diesel or any other Weed Seeds strains, you always need to activate the THCA, transforming it into THC, before the bake.  Preheat your oven to 250℉, line a baking sheet with food grade parchment paper, spread your nugs out on the sheet and cook them for half an hour to forty minutes. After this procedure, your weed is decarbed and is ready to be ground up and its essence infused into whatever cooking medium you choose. Some prefer vegetable oil or olive oil, though most prefer coconut oil, as it is sweeter and makes for tastier confections. Through a double boiler system, mix your oil and weed and let simmer for an hour, sift and store in the fridge. After this, you can grab your favorite cannabis recipe book and go to town. But remember that cooked cannabis hits differently than smoked, so get ready for something more physical.

Is It Worth It To Make Diesel Cannabis Oil?

Weed Seeds Diesel creations make some of the best oils on the market. The diversity among them and the variety to their effects make the Diesel family members some of the most effective for those in need of both physical and psychological relief. Depending on the strain, the cannabinoids and the terpenes will be different, and these differing combinations will affect each consumer in different ways. Cannabis oil is smoked, used in tinctures and topicals and is also used in capsules and confections. There are a number of methods to making oil and, no matter which method you employ, these products are potent. Oil is a cannabis concentrate and, because there are a number of processes involved in making the variety of oils available out there, they are either considered extract or distillate. Distillate oils are free of any terpenes or adulterants and are pure cannabinoids, such as CBD, CBG or THC. Many have been activated and the decarbed versions are ready to go into capsule form. Cold extraction doesn't decarboxylate the cannabinoids, so smoking or vaping is the method of delivery for this type. Oils hit very hard and offer nearly the entire cannabinoid count of the Diesel strain you have used. CBD rich strains make for better medicinals and THC rich strains, harvested at different times, are either used for CBG oils and tinctures or THC based substances, which are always heavy and hard hitting. What type of oil you choose is up to you, but if it is Diesel, it is definitely worth it.

What To Expect When Smoking And Vaping Diesel Concentrates

Weed Seeds’ American grown Diesel strains are cherished for their high THC counts, their medical and recreational prowess, and they are famous for making killer concentrates. Before digging too deeply into huffing on some Diesel live resins, however, it is wise to delineate the differences between the types of concentrates available. To keep it simple, there are two kinds, namely distillates and live resins. Distillates are pure cannabinoids, so if you choose, say, a Skunk THC distillate, you will be smoking 99% pure Skunk THC. Though this is most certainly going to be an intense experience for any enthusiast, the psychotropic ride is unaccompanied by any flavor profile, save a slight sense of hash. On the other hand, choosing a live resin is the act of the connoisseur who’s in the market for a delicious puff. Smoking and vaping Diesel live resin concentrates, the consumer has access to the entire terpene array, as well as the cannabinoids contained within the plant. Chemdawg OG is famed as one of the most deliciously satisfying live resins on the market, and delivers a smooth and uplifting shift accompanied by intense sweet, fruity, fuelly and floral flavors. No matter what you choose to load into your favorite vape, the effects are just as concentrated as the product. Fast, hard and instantly felt rippling throughout all cells of the body, a couple hits off a Diesel concentrate are enough to get anyone going, and the convenience of simply carrying a pen puts many other forms of ingestion to shame.
