Sour Cream descends from two powerful North American lines. The New England “diesels” are non-haze sativa strains that push marijuana’s citrus like pungency into the realm of fuel. Sour Cream’s mother is the near-pure sativa Sour Diesel, a clone-only strain derived from Chem crossed with Mass Super Skunk. This version of Sour Diesel is known for her kush-like smell and her stand-out sour candy taste. The father, G-13 haze, is a cream of the crop male that shows his true colors in this cross, but with improved yield. Sour Cream brings these two North American strains together for a complex, unusually calming stone.
This sativa-leaning strain is most suited for indoor cultivation, but can also be grown in greenhouses or outdoors. While no particular characteristics of this strain rule out any growing methods, DNA generally grows in soil with organics, preferring to vegetate for 3 or 4 weeks and grow fewer plants to larger sizes. Sour Cream is a picky eater and doesn’t like too much warmth. Maintaining a consistent but moderate feeding regimen and a cool temperature range will assure the best results with this strain.
During her vegetative stage, Sour Cream looks like an indica, with fat fan-shaped leaves. She starts to grow upward rapidly as soon as she enters flowering. by the fifth week, her leaves grow upward rapidly as soon as she enters flowering. by the fifth week, her leaves grow out long and slender like a sativa’s. In six more weeks, its harvest time. Sour Cream’s buds are slightly fluffy but not as airy as many sativa-dominant plants. This variety produces between 400 and 600 grams per square meter.
Cured and dried, Sour Cream buds resemble haze buds, and share the sour taste of the Diesel. But where the classic haze high is energetic, even speedy, Sour Cream offers a tranquil mind vacation. Some users will want nothing more than a few space hours, a recliner, and a bowl of snacks; others will appreciate a more purposeful clam, and a relief from the mental and physical fatigue of the daily grind.
