Sour Dawg
Also known as: Sour Dawg by Top Dawg Seeds
Overview
Sour Dawg is an indica/sativa hybrid cannabis strain developed by Top Dawg Seeds, a breeder renowned for its innovative breeding practices and commitment to quality genetics. With a rich heritage that fuses both indica and sativa influences, this strain represents a new frontier of potency and complexity in the modern cannabis scene. The strain was created through crossing Tres Dawg and Sour Diesel strains (with some sources indicating AJ Sour D x Tres Dawg genetics), resulting in a sativa-dominant hybrid with approximately 70% sativa and 30% indica composition. Introduced to the market alongside other celebrated strains such as Sour Chem 4, Sour 91, and Sour Ghost, Sour Dawg has quickly become a favorite among connoisseurs. Early adopters and cultivators alike were drawn to its unique lineage and consistently impressive results, with users often reporting THC levels between 18% and 24% in well-cultivated specimens. The strain exhibits medium-sized nuggets that are deep forest green with minty green undertones, featuring an abundance of burnt orange hairs and a generous coating of bright white trichomes, giving the buds a frosty, sparkly appearance. The strain's aromatic profile is characterized by a dominant diesel fragrance complemented by earthy, pine, and citrus notes, with a smooth but powerful taste featuring damp earth, tart citrus, and sour diesel flavors.

Growing Information
Sour Dawg can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of approximately 60 days (8-9 weeks). Cultivating Sour Dawg is both rewarding and technically demanding, requiring attention to detail and an understanding of its unique growth characteristics. Growers have observed that this strain thrives in conditions that offer a controlled environment, such as indoor cultivation, although it can perform well outdoors under optimal climates. Comprehensive studies recommend a balanced nutrient regimen that includes nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, with supplemental micronutrients to enhance resin production. Controlled environment agriculture techniques have verified that maintaining a temperature range of 68°F-78°F coupled with a relative humidity between 40% and 50% optimizes bud development and terpene production. Detailed yield data suggests that, when properly managed, yields can be scaled up by 15-20% compared to standard strains, making Sour Dawg an economically favorable choice for both hobbyists and commercial growers. The strain is considered moderately difficult to grow and is not recommended for complete beginners.
