Deedee Regular Seeds – Legendary Sour Diesel Riri Cut BX3 Genetics

Deedee Regular Seeds from French Touch Seeds represent a masterful preservation of cannabis history, offering you direct access to the genetics of the legendary Sour Diesel 'Riri' cut through a stabilized, seed-reproducible format.

Ever spent months hunting for that perfect, classic Sour Diesel cut, only to be left chasing ghosts and hearsay? You know the one—the mythical clone with that unmistakable fuel-and-lavender punch and the clear-headed, euphoric lift that turns any session into a social event. The frustration of missing out on legendary genetics is real, often leaving you settling for imitations that just don't deliver the same iconic experience or potency.

That hunt ends here. French Touch Seeds dedicated years to a meticulous cubing project, performing a triple backcross (BX3) to the prized Riri cut using a selected male from a (Bubba Kush x Kikiriki) cross. The result is Deedee: a regular seed line that faithfully captures the essence of the original while offering the phenotypic exploration and breeding potential that only seeds can provide. This isn't an approximation; it's a direct lineage to a tested champion, now in your hands.

What This Strain Brings to Your Grow Room

Growing Deedee is like cultivating a piece of modern cannabis lore. You're not just growing a plant; you're unlocking the genetic blueprint of a strain that tested at over 24% THC and became a benchmark for quality. The payoff is a harvest that delivers the exact sensory profile and effect that made Sour Diesel a global phenomenon, with the added satisfaction of having nurtured it from seed.

This strain transforms your garden with its vigorous, sativa-driven growth. It stretches significantly during the flowering transition, making it a perfect candidate for a SCROG (Screen of Green) setup to maximize your canopy and light penetration. In the final weeks, the flower development is explosive, packing on weight and forming those classic, dense, popcorn-shaped calyxes that Sour Diesel is known for.

Growth Profile, Lifespan, and Efficiency

Deedee is a regular photoperiod strain, meaning you'll need separate male and female plants, but this opens the door for breeding your own projects. Its lifecycle and structure are designed for growers who want to maximize output from a classic genetic.

• Plant Type: A sativa-dominant hybrid (75% Sativa / 25% Indica) with a structure that loves to stretch.
• Flowering Time: A patience-rewarding 75–80 days indoors once you switch the lights to a 12/12 schedule.
• Maximizing Yield: Its vigorous growth and stretch make it ideal for training techniques like SCROG or simple LST (Low Stress Training) to create an even canopy and support those heavy, resinous buds.
• Lifespan Factors: As a regular seed, you'll need to sex the plants, removing males around week 3-4 of flowering unless you're breeding. Its high yield potential is directly tied to providing strong light, good ventilation, and managing its height through training.
• Avoiding Waste: Start with a final pot size of at least 11–15 L (2.9–4.0 gal) to support its root system. Avoid overwatering during the long flowering phase and ensure good airflow to prevent mold in the dense buds.

Advantages and Benefits of the Deedee Investment

Choosing Deedee isn't just buying seeds; it's investing in a proven genetic legacy with tangible returns.

• Legendary Genetics: Direct lineage to the famed Riri cut means you're growing a certified classic, not a guesswork hybrid.
• High-Yield Potential: Capable of producing up to 650 g/m² (approx. 1.9 oz/ft²) indoors, it offers excellent value for the space and time invested.
• Breeding Power: As regular seeds, they are perfect for creating your own crosses, preserving the line, or hunting for exceptional keeper phenos.
• Potent Effect: With a reported THC level between 20-30%, it delivers a powerful, uplifting, and at times hilarious cerebral high that's perfect for daytime creativity or socializing.
• Unique Terpene Profile: The complex aroma of diesel fuel, lavender, and lime is a signature experience for connoisseurs, setting your harvest apart.
• Vigorous Growth: Healthy, resilient plants that can handle a bit of grower learning curve, making it suitable for intermediate cultivators.

Tips to Maximize Your Deedee Harvest Without Overspending

To get the most from these genetics, focus on environment and training rather than excessive nutrients. Use a quality, well-aerated soil or coco substrate from the start. Implement a SCROG net to control the significant stretch during the first few weeks of flowering—this simple, low-cost technique dramatically increases light exposure and bud sites. Stick to a balanced nutrient regimen during veg and a good PK booster during the mid-flowering bulge; overfeeding won't increase yield, only risk nutrient burn. Most importantly, be patient through the 11+ week flowering period; letting the buds fully mature is key to unlocking the full spectrum of flavors and the peak euphoric effect.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a Deedee grow cycle take from seed to harvest?

As a photoperiod strain, the timeline depends on your veg time. After germination and a vegetative period of your choosing (typically 4-6 weeks), the plants will require 75-80 days of 12/12 light flowering. So, from seed to harvest, you're looking at roughly 4 to 5 months total.

Is Deedee suitable for a first-time grower?

It's rated for intermediate growers. Its vigor is a plus, but its significant stretch during flowering and the need to sex regular seeds (remove males) adds a layer of complexity. If you're a beginner, starting with a few feminized seeds might be easier, but an attentive novice can certainly succeed with Deedee.

What's the main benefit of growing a "regular" seed like Deedee?

Regular seeds give you both male and female plants. This allows you to select the best phenotypes, breed your own strains, or create a stable supply of seeds for future grows. It's for growers who want more control and genetic possibilities beyond just harvesting buds.

How do I manage the height of Deedee indoors?

Its potential height of 2 m (6.56 ft) is manageable with techniques like Low Stress Training (LST) early in veg or, ideally, the Screen of Green (SCROG) method. Topping the plant early can also help control height and promote bushier growth. Using a bloom stimulator like Silver Bloomstimulator can help direct energy to flower production rather than excessive stem stretch.

What does the "BX3" in its genetics mean?

BX3 stands for "backcrossed three times." It means the original Riri cut (female) was crossed with a male (from Bubba Kush x Kikiriki), and then the offspring most resembling the mother were repeatedly crossed back to the original mother clone. This process stabilizes the desired traits of the mother into a seed line, making Deedee genetically very close to the prized Riri cut.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

When I first ran Deedee, I was chasing that authentic Sour Diesel experience that's become so hard to find. The hype is real. The stretch is no joke—you really do need a SCROG net or to be prepared to supercrop. But the reward is worth the effort. The aroma that fills the room in late flower is unmistakable: a sharp, almost kerosene-like diesel note layered with a sweet, floral lavender. It's complex and incredibly loud, so a good carbon filter is non-negotiable.

In terms of value, for a regular seed line, the phenotypic consistency towards the Sour D side is impressive. You might find the occasional Bubba-influenced, bushier plant, but most express that classic sativa structure and terp profile. The high is exactly what I look for in a daytime strain: energetic, talkative, and creatively stimulating without being racy or paranoid. It's become a staple in my garden for when I want to feel productive and social. My tip? Don't rush the harvest. Let those trichomes get nice and milky with a touch of amber for the full, balanced effect. And if you're venturing into breeding, these regular seeds are a fantastic foundation to work from.
