What is the California Sour strain?
California Sour is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 20.0% THC, known for its uplifted effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
California Sour is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain created through a cross of the super tangy Lemon Diesel X Sour Lemon Diesel strains. Not to be confused with its sister strain, "California Sour Diesel," this bud is an incredibly rare find that is a favorite of sativa lovers everywhere. California Sour is an elusive hybrid strain that has given rise to many flavorful cannabis varieties such as Lemon Diesel and Sour Lemon OG. California Sour strain balances the genetics of a Mexican sativa and an Afghani indica, creating an elusive hybrid.
This bud has oversized fluffy light minty green nugs with pale almost white leaves, a spattering of fiery orange hairs, and a super thick frosty coating of trichomes. The flavor of California Sour is exactly how it sounds – super sour and tangy lemon with a tinge of diesel upon exhale. The aroma is surprisingly very skunky and pungent with an overtone of tangy lemon and diesel that is released as the nugs are broken apart. THC levels average between 13-20% so checking potency before consuming/purchasing is recommended.
The California Sour high is very clear-headed and cerebral in nature with slight body buzzing effects to anchor it. The high starts with a rushing onset of uplifted energy with a sense of focus and motivation that builds without becoming overwhelming. A slowly creeping body buzz will serve to relax your aching muscles, leaving you incredibly happy, slightly lazy, and completely at ease. It requires a moderate climate and can be grown both indoors and outdoors.
