The combination of sweeter and classically spicy notes makes the strain more distinctive than many smoother standard hybrids.

Further classification

The flowering time is recorded as approximately 56–63 days. Sour Cherry Diesel therefore feels less like a purely exotic profile and more like a strain with clear practical relevance. The genetics of Sour Diesel x Cherry Pie give the profile its direction. Aromatically, it presents a sweet, fruity direction: diesel, sweet, cherry, berry and spicy. Sour Cherry Diesel is neither purely heavy nor purely active, but combines energetic, mood-enhancing, creative and relaxing effects. With up to 28 % THC, Sour Cherry Diesel is clearly in the range of modern, very potent strains. CBD is only present at a low level in Sour Cherry Diesel, at up to 1 %. The aroma of Sour Cherry Diesel is not merely an added feature, but a central part of the strain’s identity. In Sour Cherry Diesel, Limonene particularly complements the sweet, fruity side and gives it a fresher contour. When classifying Sour Cherry Diesel, it is important that its active side does not stand alone, but is balanced by calmer effects.
