Sour Death
Sour Death Strain Overview
Sour Death is a relatively rare cannabis hybrid strain that combines genetics from two well-known lineages. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding circles, with limited documentation about its specific development timeline. It appears to have emerged in the early 2010s as breeders experimented with crossing potent Sour Diesel variants with other high-THC genetics. The name 'Sour Death' reflects both its pungent aroma profile and its reported potent effects.
Visually, Sour Death typically produces dense, resinous buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica heritage. The flowers often display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that may appear under certain growing conditions. Orange pistils weave through the buds, and a thick coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty appearance. The strain's most distinctive feature is its powerful aroma that combines fuel-like notes with earthy undertones.
Sour Death is known among experienced cannabis users for its balanced yet potent effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain has gained a reputation in certain cannabis communities for its strong psychoactive properties, though it remains less widely available than many mainstream commercial strains. Due to its relative rarity, comprehensive laboratory testing data is limited compared to more established cultivars.

Sour Death Strain Growing Information
Sour Death is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors. Plants tend to remain medium in height, making them suitable for indoor spaces with vertical limitations. Sour Death responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Growers should maintain stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold issues, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture-related problems. The plants benefit from regular nutrient feeding but may be sensitive to over-fertilization.
