Mental Holiday… Looking for a soaring high that numbs pain and has the ability to take you away from the day to day grind? Look no further than Acid, an indica/sativa cross that is our own take on the original New York City Diesel.
The original strain of the Diesel was developed in the US. We selected a Diesel mother plant and crossed it with our favorite Dutch genetics to create Acid, one of our next generation strains. This breeding process has created a cross variety that comes with real super powers. It is stronger and more potent than the original Diesel and produces big yields too.
As the name suggests, expect a powerful combination of narcotic sensations (positive and uplifting with a pleasant psychedelic stirring). The taste and smell, which inspired the name Acid, is specific – metallic and slightly petrol - in keeping with the distinctive flavor of Sour Diesel.
When it flowers it becomes rather fruity and the smell can be an issue if you don’t have good filters in place. However, if your odor beaters are well secured, then the bouquet of this plant is one of its special characteristics.
Outdoor, Acid will grow in the northern hemisphere (up to 50º n.L.), although yields won’t be so impressive as those plants grown in warmer climates. This plant responds well to sun beams and prefers southern regions around the Mediterranean, from Spain to Croatia, southern US states and parts of South America.
The effects of Acid are impressive. Expect to feel as light as an angel and your day to take an unexpected shine... Definitely good for inspiration, not to mention an energizing tonic if you need some get up and go for a night time shuffle. Acid is a favorite with medical cannabis users too, easing the symptoms of pain and depression and lifting the body.

Strain FAQ
How genetically varied are grapefruit-flavored cannabis strains?
Quite varied! Various sativa- and indica-dominant strains have grapefruit flavours. This genetic variation allows breeders to generate new strains with the grapefruit aroma and sativa or indica effects.
Are there different Diesel strains?
Diesel's family tree has various versions, each bringing a new twist to the story. NYC Diesel has a grapefruit scent, whereas Red Diesel combines Diesel with California Orange, showing the versatility of this spicy bloodline.
Can late-October strains have various flavours?
Contrary to popular assumption, these fast-finishing strains have a wide range of terpene profiles, from earthy and piney to sweet and fruity, reportedly without sacrificing taste.
What does this strain's South American make-up mean for its indica/sativa profile?
Equatorial South American nations explain the abundance of Sativa traits in South American strains. These protracted growth seasons produce towering, narrow-leafed cannabis plants that take longer to flower.
What role does selective breeding play in greenhouse strain development?
Breeders for greenhouse cultivation obviously select traits that thrive in that environment. They generally select strains with compact growth to fit more plants and early blooming to match the greenhouse's light schedule.
