This powerhouse cross combines Ghost Train Haze with East Coast Sour Diesel, creating a strain with 80% sativa genetics designed for daytime productivity and creative flow.

Ghost Train Haze genetics bring cerebral clarity and energizing effects, while East Coast Sour Diesel contributes its signature pungent fuel kick and mood-elevating properties. Diesel Train is the kind of strain that powers you through creative projects and keeps motivation high. Sourcing an authentic breeder cut that's been HLVD tested negative ensures you're starting with verified genetics, and a healthy rooted clone gives you the foundation for a vigorous, productive run.
Terpene Profile
The Diesel Train strain terpenes create an aromatic intensity from its dominant sativa-driven terpene composition. The overall nose presents as sharp diesel fuel layered with bright lemon-citrus notes, earthy ammonia undertones, and subtle pine freshness on the finish. This strain is unmistakably pungent from the moment you crack the jar—classic diesel all the way.
Growing Diesel Train
Diesel Train rewards growers who can manage vigorous sativa growth and tall vertical stretch. The strain exhibits significant 2.5–3x stretch during flower and typically finishes in 9 to 10 weeks (63-70 days). With proper training and height management, the Diesel Train strain yield can reach 2.0 to 3.0 lbs per light indoors.
Key Growing Tips
-
WateringModerate feeder—consistent schedules prevent stress in tall sativas
-
FeedingModerate nitrogen in veg; reduce in flower to avoid foxtailing
-
SupportEarly trellis and SCR OG essential—this strain STRETCHES tall
-
StructureTall, airy sativa structure—manage height and airflow carefully
Top early and use SCR OG or supercropping to control vertical height. Diesel Train's tall sativa structure demands headroom—plan for at least 6–7 feet of vertical space indoors.
Bag Appeal & Appearance
In any Diesel Train strain review, the visual presentation stands out as classic sativa beauty—long, spear-shaped colas with vibrant lime green hues and fiery orange pistils. Trichome coverage is abundant, giving the buds a frosty, resinous appearance that glistens under light. The structure is less dense than indica-dominant strains, with an airy, open bud formation typical of high-quality sativa genetics.
The finished product combines the visual appeal of Ghost Train Haze's tall, elegant structure with the resin production of East Coast Sour Diesel. The buds are loud, pungent, and instantly recognizable as diesel genetics. This is eye-catching flower that commands attention with its classic sativa appearance and unmistakable fuel-forward aroma.

This is classic sativa flower meant to be enjoyed as-is—rolled, vaped, or smoked for its uplifting mental clarity and fuel-forward flavor profile.
