Also known as: Sour Cupcake
What is the Sour Cake strain?
Sour Cake is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 27.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
Sour Cake is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created by the renowned Dutch breeder TH Seeds through crossing Birthday Cake with S.A.G.E. 'n Sour strains. This masterful combination merges the sweet, vanilla dessert flavors of Birthday Cake with the sour, diesel undertones of S.A.G.E. 'n Sour, creating a unique and complex strain. The genetic lineage traces back to Birthday Cake (a Bubblegum Kush × Vishnu Kush cross) and S.A.G.E. 'n Sour (a S.A.G.E. haze × Sour Diesel hybrid), resulting in elite genetics that showcase the best of both parent strains.
Sour Cake produces medium to large-sized buds that display vibrant green coloration with purple hues throughout, covered in a thick layer of glistening trichomes that give the plant a frosted appearance. Bright orange pistils provide striking color contrast against the dense, resinous structure. The strain typically flowers in 9-10 weeks and is known for its heavy trichome production, making it ideal for extraction work. While originally available only in regular seeds, this strain has gained recognition in boutique cannabis circles for its layered flavor profile and potent effects.
