The origin of the diesel varieties

Diesel strains emerged in the early 1990s in the USA, more precisely on the East Coast. The legendary Sour Diesel was one of the first strains with this unmistakable aroma. It is said to have originated from an accidental cross between Chemdawg and Skunk. Diesel quickly gained great popularity and spread across the entire cannabis scene.

Over time, breeders developed new variants that further refined the diesel genetics. In California in particular, hybrid strains with fruitier or sweeter aromas were created to soften the distinctive fuel flavor. Today, Diesel strains are in demand worldwide and are among the strongest sativa hybrids.

• Created in the USA in the 1990s

• Further developed in California
