Albany Sour Diesel X NL1 is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from the genetics of Northern Lights #1. Developed for cultivators seeking high-yield production, the plant requires moderate growing expertise whether grown in indoor or outdoor environments. It completes its flowering cycle in 63 days, demonstrating a reliable development period that has cemented its popularity among specialized producers. This strain is also recognized as the genetic parent of the variety known as Devil Fruit.
The terpene profile of this hybrid is complex and distinctly layered, led by a dominant presence of terpinolene, followed closely by limonene, caryophyllene, and myrcene. Beneath these primary notes, the strain features a broad spectrum of secondary and tertiary compounds, including ocimene, humulene, beta-pinene, pinene, guaiol, linalool, and nerolidol. Further analysis reveals trace amounts of alpha-terpinene, bisabolol, gamma-terpinene, borneol, camphene, valencene, sabinene, caryophyllene-oxide, eucalyptol, p-cymene, and geraniol, which collectively contribute to its aromatic nuance.
As a THC-dominant variety, this strain consistently delivers effects characterized by feelings of relaxation, happiness, and an uplifted state of mind. These properties make it a frequent choice for users seeking support with the management of stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. Following its cultivation success, the strain has established a clear genetic legacy through its notable offspring, maintaining a firm standing within modern breeding programs that prioritize high-yielding, chemically diverse hybrids.

Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
