Origin
Amherst Sour Diesel is a Humboldt Seeds Organization strain, a cross of Sour Diesel and a second parent the breeders have deliberately kept secret. That is the account across every source we have. The Sour Diesel side carries the fuel, the citrus and the head lift. It has a documented descendant or two, and the unnamed parent is likely to stay unnamed.

About
Amherst Sour Diesel keeps half its recipe a secret, and that is part of the point.
Bred by the Humboldt Seeds Organization, it is a Sour Diesel crossed with a parent the breeders have never named. For the sativa fans who chase it, the withheld half is a feature, not a gap: whatever it is, it sharpened an already strong strain.
What to Expect
Amherst Sour Diesel is an up, tingly hybrid. Leafly's breakdown leads with uplifted and happy at 66 percent, then relaxed at 60, with euphoric behind and a clear tingly physical note, so it lifts the head while keeping a bit of body presence. It suits a morning, a creative session, being social.
Dry mouth is the main complaint at 33 percent, with dry eyes behind it and a small chance of a paranoid edge at larger doses. It is a poor fit for the evening or for anyone wanting a heavy, sedating strain.
Flavor and Aroma
Amherst Sour Diesel is sharp lemon and fuel with a tropical-fruit sweetness underneath and an earthy base. The diesel is loud but the citrus and fruit keep it from being purely acrid. The flavor holds the lemon and diesel through the exhale.
Terpenes Explained
Amherst Sour Diesel has no lab terpene panel in our data, only the recurring names Myrcene and Ocimene, with no amounts. That describes the likely smell rather than a comparable profile.
The sour diesel that defines the strain is not one of the standard terpenes; it comes from compounds a nine-terpene panel does not measure, likely including sulfur compounds. Judge the specific batch by nose.
Cannabinoids and Potency
Amherst Sour Diesel THC is generally reported in the low-to-mid twenties, though our records carry a data-entry error and the exact figures are not reliable. CBD is a trace. Read it as a strong sativa.
Ignore any extreme or near-zero THC figure in our data and buy on the batch's own current test.
