Sour Diesel's buds are housed in green earthy leaves and sometimes include pistols with a pinkish tint. These 'nugs' are usually covered in translucent crystals hinting at the potency of Sour Diesel. The Cannabis plant itself is known for growing quite tall with purple vegetation when grown in the right environment.

You'll really understand how Sour Diesel earned its name the moment you smell the plant's strong, pungent aroma. The scent is very overpowering and does smell a bit like fuel infused with some lemon zest. The scent might stick around for some time -- especially after smoking the plant.
