Killer Sour
Also known as: Killer Sour Diesel
Killer Sour Strain Overview
Killer Sour is a hybrid cannabis strain that combines genetics from two prominent lineages: Sour Diesel and an undisclosed indica-dominant parent, though some sources suggest OG Kush or Afghani heritage. The strain emerged in the early 2010s from West Coast breeders seeking to blend the cerebral effects of Sour Diesel with more pronounced physical relaxation. While its exact breeding history remains somewhat obscure in public records, Killer Sour has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and distinctive aromatic profile.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, resinous structure characteristic of its indica influences. The flowers display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. Orange pistils weave through the buds, while a thick coating of trichomes gives them a frosty appearance. The plant structure tends to be bushy with strong lateral branching, making it suitable for various training techniques.
Killer Sour is noted for its complex aroma that combines fuel-like notes inherited from Sour Diesel with earthy, skunky undertones from its indica parentage. The flavor profile often includes citrus and pine notes with a lingering diesel aftertaste. The strain's effects typically begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation, creating what users describe as a 'functional' high that doesn't necessarily lead to sedation at moderate doses.

Killer Sour Strain Growing Information
Killer Sour is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outside. Plants reach medium height (1.2-1.8 meters) and benefit from pruning and training techniques like topping or SCROG to maximize yield. Killer Sour is somewhat resistant to common molds and pests but requires good air circulation and humidity control during flowering. The strain responds well to organic nutrients and may exhibit color changes (purple hues) when exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures during late flowering.
