Indica, sativa and hybrid are a retail shopping convention — not a reliable guide to genetics or effects. When researchers analysed 89,923 commercial samples across six states, these labels did not predict a plant’s terpene or cannabinoid profile, and a genome-wide study found sativa- and indica-labelled plants to be genetically indistinct (PLOS ONE 2022; Nature Plants 2021). The labels are so fluid that AK-47, a hybrid, won “Best Sativa” at the 1999 Cannabis Cup and “Best Indica” four years later. For an accurate, genetics-true picture, see the chemotype above.

About Alderpoint Sour Diesel
Alderpoint Sour Diesel by Aficionado Seeds is a legendary, high-octane cannabis strain that combines the classic power of Sour Diesel with modern hybrid refinement. Originating from the iconic Alderpoint area in Southern Humboldt—famously known as “Murder Mountain”—this strain pays homage to the classic Sour Diesel lineage while bringing its own bold and vibrant personality to the table.
Its genetic backbone is a carefully crafted cross of Leggett Sour Diesel and Sour Diesel IBL #72 × Original Diesel BX1, giving it a structure that is both resilient and expressive. This combination produces a vigorous plant with strong sativa dominance (around 60%), upright growth, and an adaptable form perfect for SCROG, mainlining, or lollipopping.
Aroma and Flavor: Alderpoint Sour Diesel bursts with the iconic diesel aroma, layered with zesty citrus and subtle fermented pine notes. A creamy sweetness lingers beneath, providing depth and a smooth, enjoyable smoke. On the palate, hints of classic fuel, herbal undertones, and a touch of caramelized sugar balance its aggressive nose, making it both complex and memorable.
Effects: True to its lineage, Alderpoint Sour Diesel delivers a sharp, fast-act
