How to grow Diesel
Seb's take
Mexican Sativa crossed with Afghan stock, and the name earns its keep — diesel, citrus, and gassy fruit on the nose, unmistakably fuel-adjacent. The high is clear and creative rather than overwhelming, relaxed and uplifting at 12 to 16% THC.
Growing Diesel: what to expect
Feminized photoperiod seed: every plant a female, and flowering starts when you change the lights — which puts the calendar in your hands. The photoperiod lesson covers using that control well.
Flowering runs the standard 9 weeks — no surprises, which in this business is a compliment. The flowering stage guide covers what each of those weeks should look like.
She wants to be a tree — 300 cm and climbing if you let her. Give her the headroom or teach her manners early: training techniques are not optional here.
A solid, dependable yield — 475 g/m² under decent conditions. Nothing that requires bragging; everything that justifies the effort. The yield lesson covers getting to "decent conditions".
THC tests under 18% by the breeder's numbers — measured rather than fierce. Some growers are after exactly that; the rest may keep scrolling with our blessing.
Fuel on the nose — she does not travel discreetly.
Reported effects lean relaxed — the sitting-down sort.
