Sour Diesel
Sour Diesel, also called Sour D, is a catalog name associated with fuel-like aroma descriptions. Leafly currently labels the entry hybrid and reports Chemdawg and Super Skunk as parents. Its listed reader tags include diesel, chemical and skunk; these describe impressions rather than measured ingredients. The same source also uses sativa language in its review summary, so category wording should be read cautiously rather than used to settle ancestry or predict an individual's response.

Leafly — Sour Apple identity and lineage ↗How to read these relationships
Parent links describe a reported cross. Ancestry components may be several generations back. A phenotype selection comes from a named line rather than a new two-parent cross. Disputed links retain the uncertainty of their source.
Names in this catalog open a strain profile. Other names open the reference describing the relationship. The family view shows the links currently documented here, not every known descendant.
Cannabinoid profile
Leafly catalog summary values, not laboratory results for a specific sample. A displayed 0% is a rounded source value, not proof of absence. Unlisted cannabinoids remain unknown.
Leafly source ↗ · Checked 2026-09-16Concentrations vary by sample. A cultivar name alone does not establish potency.
Terpenes & aroma
Catalog-listed terpenes. Dominance is shown only where the source states it; percentages are unavailable unless separately recorded.
Similar strains
Similarity uses catalog reference chemistry, reported attributes and lineage. Missing data is excluded; this is not an effects prediction.
ECSD is listed separately by Leafly as East Coast Sour Diesel. The reviewed narrative describes its identity and sensory character without establishing a complete parent cross. This page keeps that named line distinct from the broader Sour Diesel profile and leaves unsupported parentage unresolved.
Parents unknown ↗
Super Silver Haze is attributed to Green House Seeds and a background involving Skunk, Northern Lights and Haze. The source supplies those ancestry names but does not establish the exact sequence of crosses.
Ancestry documented ↗
Alaskan Thunder Fuck is associated with Alaska’s Matanuska Valley. Leafly presents its early Californian and Russian background as a legend, followed by a reported Afghani contribution.

Accessed 2026-09-16 - Leafly — Sour Diesel: identity recheck
Identity check: the source header and main description use hybrid, while its explicitly AI-generated review summary uses sativa. This inconsistency is documented, not treated as independent evidence. Still needed: independent pedigree corroboration. No claims from user reviews or the AI summary were adopted as medical evidence.
