Sour Hindu
Also known as: Sour Hindu Kush
Sour Hindu Strain Overview
Sour Hindu is a hybrid cannabis strain that combines genetics from two legendary lineages: Sour Diesel and Hindu Kush. This strain emerged in the early 2000s as breeders sought to blend the cerebral effects of Sour Diesel with the physical relaxation of Hindu Kush. While its exact origin remains somewhat obscure within cannabis breeding circles, it gained popularity among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile.
The plant typically displays characteristics of both parent strains, with dense, resinous buds that often show a mix of forest green and purple hues, complemented by vibrant orange pistils. The buds are usually medium to large in size and covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The strain's aroma combines the fuel-like pungency of Sour Diesel with the earthy, spicy notes characteristic of Hindu Kush varieties.
Sour Hindu is known for its relatively balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation. The strain has maintained a niche following among experienced users who appreciate its complex terpene profile and versatile effects. While not as commercially widespread as some modern hybrids, it remains valued by those seeking a classic strain with heritage genetics.

Sour Hindu Strain Growing Information
Sour Hindu is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by late September to early October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though it prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outside. Plants tend to reach medium height (100-150 cm indoors, 150-200 cm outdoors) and benefit from techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. The strain is moderately resistant to common molds and pests but requires good air circulation, particularly during flowering when buds become dense.
