Appearance and Aroma
Strains of Strawberry Diesel Cannabis look more diesel than strawberry, as they are dark and dank. The leaves are painted with various shades of dark green, all loosely mixed together without rhyme or reason. Its bright brown orange hairs are thrown into every crevice with total reckless abandon, creating little clusters of pubic growth wherever they can find room to grow.
The Strawberry Diesel varieties have a fur coat of white fuzz, as well as a trichome layer that glistens with golden haze from the golden resin in its trichomes. Sticky nectar covers every surface of the nugs, producing a sticky, oily texture as well as wafting the strain’s characteristic aroma.
While we’re talking about scent, it helps to know that the Strawberry Diesel strain almost always throws a curveball when it comes to odor. Many buyers expect to find an aroma of sweet fruity berry goodness, but the herb takes a turn towards citrus town. Although its strong, sour lemon scent is laced with hints of jet engine fuel, it’s not exactly offensive. It is especially delightful because it contains minor hints of herb and mint. It’s just that with a name like Strawberry Diesel, you might expect more sweet and succulent nectarine goodness.
