Sour Candy
Also known as: Sour Candy Kush, Sour Candylope
What is the Sour Candy strain?
Sour Candy is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 34.0% THC, known for its happy effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Sour Candy is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain created by crossing Sour Diesel and Bubble Gum. Developed by the esteemed team at G13 Labs, known for their experimental and boundary-pushing cultivars, this strain has gained popularity for its distinctive flavor profile and energizing effects. Originally, the Bubble Gum parent was developed by growers in Indiana, USA, moved to New England and eventually Holland, taking many generations to finally produce this stable strain with its characteristic sweet smell and euphoric high. The Sour Diesel parent is renowned as one of the finest genetics available in the current market.
The strain is characterized by fluffy light green buds containing bright orange pistils and a thick dusting of shimmering white trichomes. Sour Candy buds have small to medium-sized super airy and round grape-shaped bright forest green nugs with a spattering of long and thin rich amber hairs, and a thick frosty coating of chunky crystal white trichomes. This fruity strain has a taste that reflects its name — sweet and sour fruit citrus blended with sharp diesel notes and subtle spicy hints, with a loud aroma producing a pungent sour candy scent combined with funky fruity diesel.

This mostly sativa strain from G13 Labs can be cultivated indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of ±80 days, growing as a medium tall, usually not too branchy (sometimes stretchy) plant, producing compact, crystal covered buds.
