Sativas in the HSO line-up are gearing up and this new release of the Raspberry Diesel strain lives up to its name. The collision of two isolated powerhouse genetics made for the creation of this newfound keeper. We used our "Old World" Cherry Afghan with popping sweet and spicy flavors combined with the vigorous, resistant, highly productive and incredibly pungent Sour Diesel #2. This made for a remarkable achievement presenting a very unique profile.
Rapid and vigorous vegetative growth makes for quick transitions into the flowering periods. Thinner fan leaves and long spacing between node sites allow for deeper light penetration into the canopy stimulating secondary growth. Trellising is recommended to support long spiraling bud sites, which display rock-hard raspberry-shaped nugs in later stages. Flowering sites begin to show signs of crowning in about the 5th week and fully mature in about 63-68 days. Red and purple hues appear more commonly in the 7th week as they start to resemble the raspberry-like structure. A high resin count makes for excellent concentrate and not much substance is lost during the drying stages. Manicuring of the Raspberry Diesel strain can be quite simple but be sure to save all the trim as it maintains a high value for re-use at the end.
Sweet and sour flavor
The Raspberry Diesel strain's flavor profile is a mix of sweet and sour. Sweet berry overtones finish with strong petrol-filled undertones which transfer directly back to the pallet. Exquisitely smooth, the flavor is allowed to express itself quite easily. Effects are very functional for daytime use and have been found to be energizing. Great for creative activity and finishes with a relaxing body high, Raspberry Diesel is a fantastic alternative to our very Indica heavy line-up. With a high resistance to pests and disease as well as a unique physical character and flavor profile, the Raspberry Diesel is one to be explored and experienced from beginners to expert growers alike.
