Detroit Diesel
Detroit Diesel
Also known as: Dieselrella
Overview
Detroit Diesel is a hybrid cannabis strain created through crossing NYC Diesel and Cinderella 99, producing a slightly sativa dominant hybrid strain (60% sativa/40% indica). Detroit Diesel is a modern heir to the legendary Diesel family, tuned for fans of sharp fuel aromatics, brisk cerebral lift, and assertive potency. The Detroit Diesel name nods to two intertwined lineages: the East Coast Diesel tradition and Michigan's industrial heritage, connecting the strain to Detroit's Motor City identity. This strain produces fat dense rounded forest green nugs with dusty undertones, thin orange hairs and a coating of tiny, milky amber crystal trichomes. Approximately 85% of Detroit Diesel buds display a uniform green color interspersed with orange and red hairs, which not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also serves as an indicator of its balanced cannabinoid and terpene profiles. The strain has gained popularity in Michigan's cannabis market and represents a balanced hybrid that delivers both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation.
