Sour OG

Sour OG: Sweet and Sour Diesel

Sour OG seeds grow into medium to tall, bushy plants with long jagged leaves and huge buds just aching to be clipped, dried, and harvested. The leaves seem to disappear as the buds get bigger. The entire plant is dark green, with the exception being the pistils growing from the bud sites. There is a moderate amount of crystal resin on the buds and smaller leaves. These trichomes will transfer from the buds to the harvested nuggets. Sour OG is one of those strains that you smell long before you lay eyes on the plant. The harvested nuggets are dense and dank and reek of diesel fumes when you break them apart. To most, this aroma is mouth-watering. Sour OG is a first-place winner of the 2011 High Times Medical Cannabis Cup in Michigan in the Hybrid category. The Cali Connection Prize is one of the most sought-after prizes in all of cannabis, and Sour OG is one of the lucky winners, cementing its reputation as one of the greats in marijuana history.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Sour OG does best in a warm, Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors by experienced growers. First-time growers or growers with limited experience will have a hard time bringing this strain to harvest. It requires exact conditions and lots of attention to come to fruition. Sour OG plants get bushy and need regular pruning to regulate the airflow to prevent mold and mildew. When the buds are mature, clip the branches and hang them upside down to dry in a dark, cool place for about 7-10 days. After they are fully dried, put the buds in airtight jars.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Sour OG cannabis plants can be grown indoors and outdoors only by experienced growers. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and slightly cooler at night. During the vegetative phase, maintain a light cycle of 18-20 hours of light per day to promote healthy growth. Changing the light cycle to a 12/12 cycle will induce the flowering stage and take you all the way to harvest.
•  Moisture control: Humidity levels should be kept around 50-60% during the vegetative stage and maintained at 20-30% during the flowering stage of growth. Maintaining constant, lower humidity will help keep mold and mildew off of your plants and help them grow faster.
• Training Techniques: Sour OG tends to grow bushy, so topping, pruning, and Low-stress training (LST) are your best bets for training. These methods will open up the canopy and trim away any dead branches so only the bigger buds will grow successfully.

Dominant Terpenes in Sour OG: One of the Best

The Sour OG terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is myrcene, while beta-caryophyllene and limonene are secondary terpenes.

• Myrcene: Most Dominant – Earthy and herbal, contributing to the strain’s relaxing effects on the user. Known as the “Mother of All Terpenes”.
• Beta-Caryophyllene: Secondary Terpene – The spicy and peppery terpene found in nature as well as in some cannabis strains.
• Limonene: Citrus – Found commonly in the rinds of citrus fruits.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Sour OG:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Sour OG seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That creative, euphoric, and happy feeling you get when enjoying the Sour OG strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 24%, the THC in this balanced-hybrid strain is responsible for the creative and euphoric feeling you get when enjoying Sour OG cannabis.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – The CBD levels in Sour OG are around 1%.
