Now and Sour
Also known as: Now N Sour
Now and Sour Strain Overview
Now and Sour is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing two popular strains: Sour Diesel and Now N' Later. The strain was created to combine the energizing cerebral effects of Sour Diesel with the balanced, full-body relaxation of Now N' Later. While its exact origin date is not widely documented in cannabis literature, it emerged in the late 2010s as breeders sought to create flavorful hybrids with complex effects. The strain has gained recognition primarily within enthusiast circles and certain dispensary markets, particularly in regions where its parent strains are popular.
The strain's appearance is characterized by medium to large, dense buds that exhibit a classic hybrid structure—not too compact like some indicas nor too airy like some sativas. The flowers are typically forest green with occasional purple hues that may appear under cooler growing conditions. A generous coating of milky white trichomes covers the buds, giving them a frosty appearance, while vibrant orange pistils weave through the flower structure. The visual presentation is often considered attractive and indicative of its potency.
Now and Sour is noted for its distinctive aromatic profile that combines fuel-like notes inherited from Sour Diesel with sweeter, fruitier undertakes from its Now N' Later lineage. The flavor experience typically begins with sharp, diesel-forward notes that gradually give way to sweeter, candy-like flavors on the exhale. This complex terpene profile contributes to its popularity among users seeking both potent effects and enjoyable sensory characteristics. The strain's effects are generally described as balanced, providing an initial cerebral lift followed by gradual physical relaxation.

Now and Sour Strain Growing Information
Now and Sour is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in warm, Mediterranean-like climates with consistent sunlight. Plants tend to reach medium height, making them manageable for indoor setups with limited vertical space. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperature and humidity levels, as the dense buds can be susceptible to mold if airflow is inadequate. Some phenotypes may require support during late flowering due to heavy bud development.
