Super Sour Diesel is lower THC than average.
Super Sour Diesel is a modern hybrid-sativa cultivar derived directly from Sour Diesel. A fixture in contemporary cultivation, the strain performs effectively in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this plant, which requires a moderate level of technical skill and a flowering period of 66 days.
The chemical profile of Super Sour Diesel is defined by a complex terpene array led by limonene, followed by pinene, myrcene, caryophyllene, humulene, and bisabolol. Beneath these dominant aromatic compounds, the strain maintains a nuanced base. This specific combination influences the sensory experience, resulting in the distinct profile associated with this THC-dominant hybrid containing 14.6% THC and 3.27% CBD.
Users seeking a THC-dominant experience report that the effects of Super Sour Diesel are consistently creative, uplifted, and happy. Given these characteristics, the strain is well-suited for activities requiring focus, creative output, or social engagement. The genetic influence of the plant is further noted in its contribution to offspring such as Harlequin x Super Sour Diesel.
Terpene Profile
Synergies (+) and conflicts (−) are relative to each other within this profile.
| Terpene | Share | Character | Likely role |
|---|---|---|---|
| limonene | ~60% | citrus | social · creative |
| pinene | ~28% | pine | focus · creative |
| myrcene | ~12% | earthy | relaxing · solo |
Research notes below describe isolated terpene mechanisms and early findings. They do not guarantee effects from this strain and are not medical advice.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Russo 2011: acetylcholinesterase inhibitor (IC50 0.44 mM) counteracting THC-induced short-term memory deficits; most widely encountered terpenoid in nature; anti-inflammatory via PGE-1.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
creative
morningAssociated with terpinolene/limonene profiles; dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation via limonene 5-HT1A supports divergent thinking.
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
happy
anytimeGenetic Profile
Sativa-dominant
Primarily sativa with indica grounding. Uplifting with body relaxation.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
