Chocolate Diesel is an inventive strain that combines pungent favorite Sour Diesel and landrace-descended Chocolate Thai. This sativa-dominant hybrid mixes the wide-ranging influences of its parent strains to offer a high-flying, energetic experience. Chocolate Diesel also has a complex, multi-layered aroma that’s surprisingly pleasant and sweet. Luckily, though, this bud is more than just a novelty that sacrifices potency for flavor — its THC content has been measured at between 13% and 23%.

Chocolate Diesel is marked by small to medium-sized flowers that adhere to roughly circular shapes. Despite sativa genetics, these buds have a more indica-inflected appearance, with the densely-packed leaves creating a solid nugget. The coiled leaves are a dark shade of forest green and are run through with curly orange hairs — which are actually pistils, botanical structures meant to catch pollen from fertilizing male plants in the wild. Finally, these flowers are covered in translucent white trichomes that give the flowers an icy sheen when seen from afar.
