Sour Dough
Also known as: Sourdough, Sour Dough Kush
What is the Sour Dough strain?
Sour Dough is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 28.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and bakery and diesel flavor profile.
Sour Dough is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged during the late-2010s wave of dessert-leaning cultivars, combining the timeless appeal of Sour Diesel-type genetics with modern cookie and bakery phenotypes. The most documented version comes from Stoic Seed (Gray Matter), created by crossing Cannarado's Cookie Dough Sundae (Forum Cut x Sundae Driver) with Capulator's MAC Stomper (MAC x Grape Stomper). This strain represents the cannabis community's effort to pair the distinctive tang of sour diesel genetics with the brown-sugar, vanilla, and toasted note families common to contemporary cookie strains. The resulting crosses yield unmistakable fuel-and-bread aromatics that made the bakery-themed naming feel inevitable. Unlike legacy strains with clear historical pedigrees, Sour Dough has been offered by multiple producers with slightly different parental selections, creating variations in the strain's expression. The strain produces dense, medium-sized buds with a healthy coat of trichomes, featuring coloration that ranges from light green to slightly olive with orange pistils woven throughout.
