Sour Diesel

aka Sour D, Sour Deez

Sour Diesel has a kick, nice head change that did not leave me stuck, very strong smell and flavor. One of my favorites.

Thought to have originated in California, Blue Dragon is a cross of two classic strains, the indica-dominant <a href="/strains/blueberry">Blueberry</a> and sativa-dominant <a href="/strains/sour-diesel">Sour Diesel</a>. The flowers of this strain often turn dark purple and are covered in bright orange <a href="/news/cannabis-101/cannabis-anatomy-the-parts-of-the-plant">pistils</a> and white <a href="/news/cannabis-101/cannabis-anatomy-the-parts-of-the-plant">trichomes</a>. Blue Dragon is usually potent, giving consumers&nbsp;an intensely euphoric feeling and heavy body buzz. Its aroma and flavor are what you might expect given its lineage: equal parts sour fuel and sweet berry.

Blue Dragon

Blue Dragon is usually so dark purple that it looks black. This strain is equal parts sour fuel and sweet berry.

This was just average, it did the job but, nothing really stood out for me.
