Grapefruit Diesel
Grapefruit Diesel
Also known as: Grapefruit Sour Diesel, Grapefruit Diesel AAA
Overview
Grapefruit Diesel is a hybrid cannabis strain created through crossing Grapefruit and NYC Diesel. Originally bred by Next Generation Seeds, this strain typically presents as an indica-dominant hybrid (85% indica/15% sativa), though some sources describe it as a more balanced 50/50 hybrid. The strain is particularly noted for producing effects that seem more sativa-like despite its indica genetics, offering a creative buzz and uplift that's more akin to the high experienced from a good, clear-headed sativa strain.
The plant displays characteristic features from both parent strains, with plants showing more of their indica side when growing, staying short and branchy and flowering within 8 weeks. The buds are dense and compact, adorned with a rich green hue and a scattering of orange pistils, covered in a fine layer of trichomes that gives the flowers a sticky texture and shimmering appearance. Grapefruit Diesel lives up to its name with a pronounced citrus aroma that immediately grabs attention, combining the distinctive grapefruit characteristics with the pungent diesel fuel notes inherited from its NYC Diesel parent. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational and medical cannabis users for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile.

Growing Information
Grapefruit Diesel is a very versatile strain that grows excellent indoors or outdoors, in soil or hydroponics systems, and is very vigorous in its growth. The strain is moderately easy to grow, suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Always finishes in under 8 weeks flowering with good yields, making it a great choice for any grower. Flowering time is 55 days indoors, with outdoor harvest around October 10th. Expect large yields from medium-sized plants that grow an eye-catching central cola. The plant typically shows more of its Indica side in growth, staying short and branchy, which can be an advantage in space-limited setups. Indoor growers using Sea of Green methods can achieve 450 to 600 grams per square meter or better, while outdoor growers see an average of 200 to 600 grams plus per plant depending on experience level and environmental conditions. The strain is considered suitable for both novice and experienced growers due to its resilient nature and compact growth pattern.
