Also known as: Sour Lemon, OG Sour Lemon, Original Sour Lemon
What is the Sour Lemon OG strain?
Sour Lemon OG is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 18.0% THC, known for its uplifted effects and apple and citrus flavor profile.
Sour Lemon OG is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain with a 65% sativa to 35% indica ratio. Originally bred by Emerald Triangle Seeds, this strain was created by crossing California Sour (a cross of Mexican Sativa and Afghan Indica) with Lemon OG. The California Sour parent provides intense sativa sensations while Lemon OG contributes its signature citrus flavor. Sour Lemon OG tends to produce oversized, fluffy flower buds that are usually pale green with a sprinkling of yellow-orange hairs, though despite being sativa-dominant, its buds typically look more reminiscent of indica flowers.
The strain emerged during the 2010s citrus cannabis trend and quickly gained popularity among cannabis enthusiasts. Sour Lemon has particularly high levels of limonene, which helps create a tangy, lemon scent. Sour Lemon buds also have several other layers of fruity and earthy aromas, with some people reporting smelling lime, green apple, and cedar. This sativa-dominant OG variation grows vigorously in the vegetative stage, continuing into an explosive development of infrastructure in the first few weeks of flowering. The strain represents a successful fusion of American breeding innovation and has contributed to the development of other hybrid varieties.
