DIESEL Yet another legend created in the United States of America. The
history of this variety’s genetics is too long to explain here, but
basically it comes from the ChemDawg line, a curious strain that is
said to need high chemical feed bring out all the intense, longlasting,
rich sweet flavour it has to offer. When grown organically it’s called
Dawg and when grown chemically, it’s called Chem
The strain, which made its way to NYC via a grower who got cuttings,
crossed Superskunk x Northern Light, and came up with Diesel, named for
the diesel-like smell of the fresh buds. This is one of the best
selling varieties in the U.S., which says a lot for its popularity. The
strong points of this variety are its distinct lemon-lime flavour mixed
with tangerine and a touch of diesel fuel. In some specimens the
flavour is extra long-lasting. This long aftertaste is the main reason
for the success of this strain, together with its light, manageable
Sativa high. In fact, the effect is light, not extreme or heavy, and
fades gradually; it’s also easy to handle since the anaesthesia effect
is not overwhelming. The plant is mellow due to its low CBD content;
the high is much more cerebral than physical.
It is easy to grow, moderately mould resistant in cool outdoor areas,
and presents no fungus problems in Mediterranean areas; the plant is
light green and does not grow very tall. Its excellent production makes
it a great choice for outdoor gardens, especially if flavour is the
number 1 factor. After tasting Diesel, a well-known Spanish grower
posted a description on www.cannabiscafe.net: “typical Indica shape,
giant resinous buds, gorgeous colours, smell almost too strong and
sweet, good taste and even better Sativa high, but watch out or it’ll
leave you flat.”
