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.”
