Sour Chem Haze
Also known as: Sour Chemdog Haze
Sour Chem Haze Strain Overview
Sour Chem Haze is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that combines genetics from three influential lineages: Sour Diesel, Chemdog, and Haze varieties. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to create a plant that maintains the cerebral, energetic qualities of sativa-dominant strains while incorporating the robust structure and potent effects of indica genetics. While its exact origin remains somewhat obscure within the cannabis breeding community, it appears to have emerged in the early 2010s as part of the 'sour' and 'chem' family expansions that gained popularity in North American markets.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, resinous structure characteristic of its Chemdog heritage. The flowers display a vibrant green color often accented by orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives them a frosty appearance. The leaves may show slight purple hues under certain growing conditions, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. Sour Chem Haze is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines fuel-like, chemical notes with citrus undertones and earthy base tones.
Notable features include its balanced effects that many users describe as providing both mental stimulation and physical relaxation. The strain has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its distinctive flavor profile and reliable performance characteristics. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Sour Chem Haze has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly among those who appreciate hybrid varieties with complex terpene profiles and versatile effects.

Sour Chem Haze Strain Growing Information
Sour Chem Haze is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 9-11 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can yield 500-700 grams per plant. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed.
Plants tend to exhibit hybrid growth patterns, reaching medium to tall heights (1.2-2 meters indoors, potentially taller outdoors) with good lateral branching. Sour Chem Haze responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. The strain prefers stable temperatures (20-26°C during day, slightly cooler at night) and moderate humidity levels, particularly during flowering to prevent mold. Special considerations include monitoring for nutrient sensitivity (particularly to nitrogen) and ensuring adequate air circulation around the dense buds. The plants produce a strong odor during flowering that requires proper ventilation and odor control measures.
