Sour Orange
Also known as: S.O.D, Sour Orange Diesel, Super Sour Orange, Kel's Orange Soda
Sour Orange Strain Overview
Sour Orange is a modern, citrus-forward cannabis strain prized for its sharp, zesty bouquet and upbeat, functional high. The strain represents multiple genetic lineages, with prominent versions including the Sour Diesel ♀ x African Orange ♂ cross by Equilibrium Genetics and the Clementine x Orange Sherbet x Tangie hybrid by Supernatural Seeds. The strain typically expresses as a 65% sativa-dominant hybrid with 35% indica genetics, though some phenotypes present differently. In contemporary menus it often denotes a hybrid that marries the diesel bite of the Sour family with the sweet rind of "orange" cultivars.
Sour Orange has gained popularity for its distinctive aromatic profile that combines the scent of Sour Diesel blended with the freshness of oranges. The strain produces distinct fluffy orange character thanks to a heavy helping of bright orange hairs and a smooth dusting of pale crystalline trichomes, with understated forest green foliage. Most phenotypes test in the mid-to-high THC range with modest to low minor cannabinoid contributions, making it potent but not usually overwhelming for seasoned users. The strain has attracted attention from both recreational users seeking the intersection of connoisseur flavor and day-friendly effects and cultivators for its flowering time of 65-70 days and yields up to 700 g/m² indoors or 1700-2000 g/plant outdoors.
