About Lemon Diesel

Lemon Diesel is a hybrid that crosses California Sour with Lost Coast OG. It has been a staple on West Coast menus for years and is now found in dispensaries across many legal US states, especially among fans of fuel-forward strains.

The aroma is a sharp mix of tart lemon and pungent diesel, with an earthy, slightly sour finish. Buds tend to be dense and light green, covered in orange hairs and a sticky frost of trichomes. Limonene supplies the citrus punch, caryophyllene adds a peppery bite, and myrcene contributes an earthy, musky undertone.

Lemon Diesel is commonly described as energetic, uplifted and happy. Many people choose it during the day for errands, creative projects or social plans. THC usually ranges from 17% to 24%, and CBD typically stays under 1%.

This strain suits people who enjoy a lively hybrid with a loud, gassy citrus profile. Those sensitive to stimulating strains may want to keep servings small. Start low, go slow, and check the label for lab-tested potency. Use WhereLeaf to find Lemon Diesel at licensed dispensaries and delivery services near you.
