Sour 66
Also known as: Sour Sixty-Six
Sour 66 Strain Overview
Sour 66 is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that combines the legendary genetics of Sour Diesel with the potent characteristics of a 66-day flowering indica-dominant hybrid. The strain was developed to create a more manageable version of the classic Sour Diesel, with a shorter flowering time and more balanced effects while retaining the distinctive sour aroma profile. Breeders aimed to create a strain that would appeal to both recreational users seeking energetic effects and medical users looking for symptom relief.
The strain typically produces medium-sized plants with dense, resinous buds that exhibit a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The buds are often covered in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. Sour 66 is known for its distinctive aroma profile that combines the classic diesel fuel scent with citrus and earthy undertones, making it immediately recognizable to cannabis connoisseurs.
Sour 66 has gained popularity among growers for its relatively short flowering period of approximately 8-9 weeks and its adaptability to various growing conditions. The strain tends to produce moderate to high yields when grown properly, making it appealing for both commercial and home growers. While not as widely documented as some classic strains, Sour 66 has developed a following among users who appreciate its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile.
