Sour Delica
Also known as: Sour Delicata
Sour Delica Strain Overview
Sour Delica is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that combines genetics from two well-established lineages. The strain emerged in the early 2010s from breeders seeking to create a balanced hybrid with pronounced flavor characteristics and reliable effects. While its exact breeding history isn't as extensively documented as some classic strains, Sour Delica has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its distinctive profile and consistent performance.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a structure that leans slightly toward its indica heritage. The flowers are characterized by vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that may appear under certain growing conditions, complemented by a generous coating of trichomes that gives the buds a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the dense floral clusters, creating visual contrast. The buds are known for their resinous texture and sticky feel when properly cured.
Sour Delica's most notable feature is its complex aromatic profile that combines sour, diesel-like notes with sweeter, fruitier undertones. The strain's effects are generally described as balanced, providing both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation. Its moderate flowering time and manageable growth characteristics have made it accessible to cultivators of various experience levels, contributing to its gradual spread within cannabis cultivation communities.

Sour Delica Strain Growing Information
Sour Delica is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation, though it thrives in controlled environments where temperature and humidity can be managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Sour Delica responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain good air circulation to prevent mold, particularly during the flowering stage when buds become dense and resinous.
