Sour Leonbow
Also known as: Sour Leonbow OG, Sour Leonbow Kush
Sour Leonbow Strain Overview
Sour Leonbow is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the West Coast cannabis breeding scene. The strain represents a deliberate cross between two legendary parent strains, combining the cerebral effects of Sour Diesel with the physical relaxation of Leonbow OG. While its exact origin remains somewhat obscure within cannabis breeding circles, it gained popularity through dispensaries in California and Colorado before spreading to other legal markets. The strain is particularly noted for its balanced effects that appeal to both recreational and medicinal users seeking a middle-ground experience.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, conical buds with a forest green color palette accented by vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance that hints at its potency. The buds typically have a moderately dense structure that breaks apart easily, revealing complex internal patterns. Notable features include its distinctive aroma profile that combines fuel-like notes with citrus undertones, creating a sensory experience that many users find immediately recognizable.
Sour Leonbow has developed a reputation among cultivators for its resilience and adaptability to various growing conditions. The strain tends to produce plants with a moderate height that makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. While not considered a high-yielding strain compared to some commercial varieties, it compensates with consistent quality and reliable effects. The strain's balanced genetic heritage makes it a popular choice for breeders looking to incorporate its unique terpene profile into new hybrid creations.

Sour Leonbow Strain Growing Information
Sour Leonbow is considered a moderate-difficulty strain suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready by 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 performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants typically reach a medium height of 120-160 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure and monitoring nutrient levels carefully as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding during the flowering phase.
