Black Sour Haze
Also known as: Black Sour Haze, BSH
Black Sour Haze Strain Overview
Black Sour Haze is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that combines genetics from two distinct lineages. The strain is believed to have originated from crossing a Black phenotype with a Sour Haze variety, though specific breeding details are not widely documented in cannabis literature. This strain emerged during the early 2000s as breeders experimented with combining dark-colored indica varieties with energetic sativa haze strains, though it has remained somewhat obscure compared to more mainstream hybrids.
The strain is characterized by its distinctive appearance, featuring dark purple to almost black buds with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The coloration is most pronounced in cooler growing conditions, where anthocyanin pigments become more prominent. The buds are typically dense and resinous, with a complex aroma profile that combines elements from both parent lines. The plant structure tends to be somewhat bushy with moderate internodal spacing, reflecting its hybrid nature.
Black Sour Haze is noted for its balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. The strain has gained a small but dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique flavor profile and versatile effects. Due to its relative rarity, comprehensive information about this strain is limited, and much of what is known comes from grower reports and user experiences rather than formal breeding documentation or laboratory analysis.

Black Sour Haze Strain Growing Information
Black Sour Haze is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate. The plants typically flower in 9-11 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing, though indoor cultivation allows better control over temperature to enhance the purple/black coloration. Plants reach a medium height of 1.2-1.8 meters, with a somewhat bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or SCROG. The strain prefers stable temperatures and moderate humidity, with some sensitivity to overwatering. Cooler nighttime temperatures during the flowering phase (around 15-18°C) can intensify the dark pigmentation.
