Sid Vicious
Also known as: Sour Purple Bubblegum
Sid Vicious Strain Overview
Sid Vicious is a cannabis strain developed by Riot Seeds, a California-based breeding company known for creating elite clone-only strains. The strain is created by crossing an indica-leaning phenotype of Sex Pistol (itself a cross of AK-47 Lemon Sativa pheno x Sour Bubble BX3) with Cannabiogen's Sandstorm (Purple Pakistani Kush x Moroccan male). The breeder specifically selected a blue-hued Sex Pistol phenotype known for exceptional resin production to pair with the purple kush genetics of Sandstorm. This combination results in a strain that typically expresses purple phenotypes with abundant resin production, reflecting its indica-dominant heritage. The strain is also marketed under the alternate name "Sour Purple Bubblegum" in some contexts. Riot Seeds, established in Southern California, has over 20 years of cultivation experience and has created more than 250 unique varieties, positioning themselves as respected cannabis breeders in the industry. The naming follows Riot Seeds' punk rock-inspired nomenclature, referencing the infamous Sex Pistols bassist.

Sid Vicious Strain Growing Information
Sid Vicious has a flowering time of approximately 9 weeks and is considered a medium to difficult strain to grow. The plant typically produces mostly indica phenotypes with exceptional resin production and purple coloration, particularly in cooler growing conditions. Expected to produce above-average yields, the strain can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, though specific environmental preferences follow typical indica-dominant patterns favoring controlled conditions. Growers should expect dense, resinous buds with purple hues inherited from both parent lines. The strain requires careful attention to nutrient management and environmental controls to maximize the purple phenotype expression and resin production that Riot Seeds selected for.
