Sour Apple Pie
Also known as: Sour Apple, Apple Pie
Sour Apple Pie Strain Overview
Sour Apple Pie is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that combines the genetics of Sour Apple and Cherry Pie, resulting in a balanced hybrid with approximately 60% indica and 40% sativa characteristics. The strain was developed to capture the best qualities of both parent strains, creating a unique profile that has gained popularity in both medical and recreational cannabis markets. Its development represents the ongoing trend in cannabis breeding toward creating strains with complex flavor profiles and balanced effects.
The strain is characterized by dense, medium-sized buds that display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues, often accented by bright orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The visual appeal is enhanced by the contrast between the dark green leaves and the lighter, almost lime-green calyxes. The buds are typically compact and resinous, with a sticky texture that indicates high cannabinoid content.
Notable features include its distinctive aroma profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with sour undertones, and its balanced effects that make it suitable for both daytime and evening use. The strain has gained recognition in cannabis competitions and has become a favorite among connoisseurs who appreciate complex flavor profiles. While exact origin details vary among sources, most agree that it emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene in the early 2010s.

Sour Apple Pie Strain Growing Information
Sour Apple Pie is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time is approximately 8-9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvest typically occurring in late September to early October. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing around 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plant prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. Indoors, it responds well to both soil and hydroponic systems. The plant tends to grow to a medium height, making it suitable for indoor cultivation with proper training techniques like topping or SCROG. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and monitoring nutrient levels carefully as the plant can be sensitive to overfeeding during the flowering stage.
