What is the Sour Cream strain?
Sour Cream is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 25.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and cheese and citrus flavor profile.
Sour Cream is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain created by Amsterdam-based DNA Genetics through crossing Sour Diesel with G13 Haze. This cultivar maintains a 70% sativa and 30% indica genetic profile, combining two powerhouse parent strains known for their potency and distinctive characteristics. The strain represents DNA Genetics' dedication to creating unique cannabis varieties, as the company was founded by two cannabis enthusiasts who moved their operation to Amsterdam in the 1980s when cannabis was legal there.
Sour Cream produces impressively large, solid flowers with chunky lime and fern-green leaves accented by long, dark-orange wavy pistils. The buds display a bright kelly green color with slightly yellowish tints and maintain the dense, heavy structure typical of indicas while having the tapered, conical shape more characteristic of sativas. Short, sticky white trichome hairs cover the flowers like snow frost on pine trees, making them particularly resinous and difficult to break up by hand. The strain emanates a distinctive diesel fuel aroma inherited from its Sour Diesel parent, complemented by pungent hints of cheese and vanilla, with tangy citrus notes that become more pronounced when combusted. Users report tasting diesel, cheese, citrus, and wet soil flavors.
