Sensory data is a curated, hand-mapped seed; detail completeness is high. Identity confidence is medium. The diagram is this strain's own sensory radar, not a photo. Batch quality still depends on grower, freshness and storage — none of which is captured here.
Background
The story
“Sharp diesel and sour earth with a faint chocolate sweetness.”
The nose is loud and gassy: sharp diesel and sour earth with a faint chocolate sweetness. The effect is up and racy — an energetic, heady cerebral lift with little body, a daytime sativa.
It's potent and very loud, and its gas runs through the Glue line. For diesel with a cocoa edge, Chocolate Diesel is a distinctive parent cut.
