What is the Sour Power strain?
Sour Power is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 29.0% THC, known for its energetic effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
The three-time Cannabis Cup winning Sour Power is a sativa-dominant hybrid bred by HortiLab Seeds. Sour Power is a heavily sativa dominant hybrid (90% sativa/10% indica) strain created by breeders at the infamous Hortilab Seeds farms that is a three-time winner of the High Times Cannabis Cup for best hybrid. They found a sativa dominant sister of the 'StarBud' and then pollinated her with their ECSD v3 Sour daddy to create this brilliant strain. This dank bud is a potent cross between the hugely popular Star Bud X East Coast Sour Diesel strains and boats an intensely high THC level ranging from 22-24% on average. The strain represents a pinnacle of modern cannabis breeding, combining the award-winning StarBud genetics with the legendary potency of East Coast Sour Diesel.
These buds have dense medium-sized grape shaped neon green nugs with fluffy dark red hairs and a thick layer of frosty white trichomes. Nugs of this strain stand out with a neon green shade, tons of orange hairs, and a thick layer of frosty white trichomes. Sour Power has a distinct taste of pungent sour diesel with a lemon aftertaste that sweetens as you exhale and an aroma of sour lemon diesel. It's not exactly easy on the nose, as smells of sour diesel and a woody earthy scent will come across strong. Thankfully, the flavor lightens up a bit as citrus and berry undertones take over. The strain has earned its reputation through consistent victories at cannabis competitions, establishing itself as a benchmark for sativa-dominant hybrids in the modern cannabis landscape.
