Sour Diesel
Sour Diesel is not a single terpene but a cannabis strain lineage famous for a pungent aromatic profile dominated by high levels of myrcene and limonene, combined with trace compounds like caryophyllene and pinene. The strain family emerged in the 1990s from crosses involving Chemdawg and Super Skunk genetics, and breeding records frequently report its distinctive sharp, fuel-like aroma with citrus undertones. Growers and breeders working with Sour Diesel-derived material often seek to preserve these volatile compounds through selective breeding and controlled cultivation conditions. This lineage remains a reference point in cannabis genetics for studying terpene stability across generations.
