Sour Dos
Also known as: Sour Dos I-Dos, Sour Dosidos
Sour Dos Strain Overview
Sour Dos is a potent hybrid cannabis strain that represents a cross between two highly regarded parent strains: Sour Diesel and Dosidos. This combination brings together the cerebral, energizing effects of Sour Diesel with the deeply relaxing, physically sedating properties of Dosidos. The strain was developed to create a balanced yet powerful experience that appeals to both recreational and medicinal users seeking strong effects with complex flavor profiles. Breeders aimed to combine the best attributes of both parent strains while creating something distinctive in the cannabis market.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a complex appearance. The nugs are often medium to large in size, displaying a forest green coloration with occasional purple hues that become more pronounced under cooler growing conditions. The flowers are heavily coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty, crystalline appearance, while orange pistils weave throughout the bud structure. The visual appeal is enhanced by the strain's generous resin production, making it popular among concentrate producers and extract artists.
Sour Dos has gained recognition for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation. The strain's aroma and flavor profile combine the fuel-like, diesel notes of its Sour Diesel parent with the sweet, earthy, and sometimes cookie-like characteristics inherited from Dosidos. This combination creates a complex sensory experience that has made Sour Dos increasingly popular in legal cannabis markets, particularly among experienced users seeking strong, long-lasting effects with nuanced flavor.

Sour Dos Strain Growing Information
Sour Dos is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The plants prefer a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in warm, Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Sour Dos plants tend to be medium in height, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation with proper training techniques. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, implementing training techniques like topping or LST to maximize yield, and providing adequate nutrient support during the flowering phase due to the strain's high resin production.
