Sour Mantis
Sour Mantis Strain Overview
Sour Mantis is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Trichome Jungle Seeds through collaboration with Karma Genetics. This strain represents a cross between the Mantis strain (a Trichome Jungle Seeds creation) and Headbanger (a Karma Genetics strain). The strain is notable for its combination of extract-friendly properties inherited from its Mantis parent and the distinctly sour characteristics derived from the Headbanger lineage. The Mantis parent strain itself is an indica/sativa hybrid created by crossing a mystery indica-dominant plant called "Nap" (reminiscent of old-school Hindu Kush genetics) with a Haze x Santa Maria male, resulting in mega crystal production and potent effects.
Sour Mantis is characterized by its ability to produce high-quality extracts while maintaining strong psychoactive properties. The strain has gained recognition for its unique flavor profile that blends sour lime notes with the robust, resinous qualities typical of extract-friendly genetics. Users report that the strain delivers very strong effects, making it more suitable for experienced consumers rather than novice users. The flowering time is approximately 9-10 weeks, which is fairly standard for hybrid varieties of this type.

Sour Mantis Strain Growing Information
Sour Mantis can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of approximately 9-10 weeks (63-70 days). The strain is only available as regular (non-feminized) seeds from Trichome Jungle Seeds. This strain is particularly valued by extract makers due to its high resin production inherited from the Mantis parent. The plant exhibits characteristics typical of hybrid genetics, combining the compact growth and heavy crystal production from its indica-leaning Mantis parent with vigor from its sativa influences. Growers should expect moderate difficulty cultivation requirements.
