Stealing its name from buds that are purple and covered in a thick layer of crystals, the Sativa-dominant hybrid going under the name Purple Diesel often smells of fuel and lavender. With similar flavors that usually taste fruity at first and then of straight diesel, the strain is often known to induce an energetic body buzz that leaves users free to go about their day. Released for a very short amount of time by Bodhi Seeds, Purple Diesel is a cross between SR71 Purple Kush and an inbred line Sour Diesel.

Bodhi’s version of Purple Diesel provides excellent daytime relief from chronic aches and pain. The uplifting effects can also help with stress, anxiety and depression. It may also be used to help with nausea and various eating disorders. The Bodhi Seeds version of Purple Diesel is extremely rare and hard to come by, which means very little information on growing it is available.

Many other strains have since taken up the name Purple Diesel, attempting to imitate the effects and beautiful bud of Bodhi Seed’s strain. Some breeders change the name slightly like Next Generation Seed’s NY Purple Diesel. However, others continue to release cuts, clones and seeds under the name Purple Diesel.

Expert Review

This bud is delicious! Gas lovers get on it before it’s gone! Super sweet and sour gas with a heavy high that hits immediately in the cerebral right behind the eyes. Strong sativa. Multicoloured minty and dark forest greens are kind of hidden amongst all the deep orange hairs that cover the buds in copious amounts. Some purple leaves here and there so it does have a purple tone to it but not what you would expect from the name this bud looks more orange from all the hairs than purple. The bud also has a white tinge to it from the massive amount of trichomes that cover this flower almost completely. Definitely a dense and dank bag that burns very slow and produces a crazy amount of resin when burned back in a paper turning my ultra thin paper almost brown. Since it produces so much resin it almost makes this a very slow burning bud and lets joints and sessions last for a long time. Delicious bag from first opening to being empty.
