Sour Sage
Also known as: Sour Sage OG
Sour Sage Strain Overview
Sour Sage is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that combines genetics from two well-known parent strains, Sour Diesel and Sage. The strain was developed to create a cultivar that offers both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day. While its exact origin is somewhat unclear in cannabis breeding records, it appears to have emerged in the early 2000s as breeders sought to combine the energetic qualities of Sour Diesel with the more balanced effects of Sage.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense structure and a coating of trichomes that gives them a frosty appearance. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to lighter lime green hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The buds are known for their sticky resin production and distinctive aroma profile that combines fuel-like notes with herbal undertones.
Sour Sage plants exhibit characteristics from both parent strains, often showing the vigorous growth patterns of Sour Diesel with some of the branching structure of Sage. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. While not as widely available as some mainstream strains, it maintains a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities.

Sour Sage Strain Growing Information
Sour Sage is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest in late September to early October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 14-16 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height (4-6 feet outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. Sour Sage requires good air circulation to prevent mold issues due to its dense bud structure and responds well to organic nutrients. The plants exhibit good resistance to common pests and diseases but should be monitored for powdery mildew in humid conditions.
