Sour Chem is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain created through a cross between two legendary parent strains: Sour Diesel and Chemdog D. Originally developed by Reservoir Seeds, this strain has earned recognition for its high THC content ranging between 17 and 25%, making it one of the more potent cannabis varieties available.

When cultivated properly, mature specimens can reach heights of 150-200cm, requiring training techniques to maintain manageable heights. The variety is considered moderately difficult to grow and is best suited for more seasoned cultivators, though it rewards skilled growers with impressive yields. This strain has gained popularity among both recreational users and medical patients seeking a potent, fast-acting variety that maintains clarity while delivering substantial effects.
