| Leaf | Narrow-leaf morphology likely; slender fan leaves with pointed fingertips |
| Flower density | Airier flower formation — elongated colas with calyx-stacked structure |
| Trichome | Moderate-to-strong trichome production typical of well-bred F1 hybrid genetics |
| Cannabinoid | Heavy THC character — fuel/kush/OG lineage carries traditional potency markers |

| Effect — head | Bright cerebral lift — focused, creative, conversational |
| Effect — body | Light, mobile, energizing — body remains engaged |
| Duration | Active onset with a tapering finish — sativa lift is shorter-lived |
| Time of day | Daytime / creative work — activating cerebral arc |
| Cultivation | Greenhouse or outdoor preferred · benefits from longer flower window and vertical room |
| Expected variation | uniform expression — pheno-stabilized through repeated sibcross selection |
| Select for | Phenos expressing dominant Sour Diesel traits will be most expressive |
| Amplified pheno | Hunt for Afghani-leaning phenos — that heritage appears on both sides and will express most intensely |
