Sour Skunk
Also known as: Sour D x Skunk #1
Overview
Sour Skunk is a classic hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing two legendary genetics: Skunk #1 and Sour Diesel (specifically East Coast Sour Diesel BX2). This old school unique cross combines the pungent skunky characteristics with sour citrus undertones, creating what many consider a perfect bridge between the sweet earthy skunk terps of Skunk #1 and the sharper sour tang and bright citrus of Sour Diesel. The strain is reported as a sativa-dominant hybrid bred from East Coast Sour Diesel and Super Skunk, though some sources describe it as having balanced hybrid characteristics. The buds typically display dense, resinous formations with a generous coating of trichomes, featuring the classic appearance inherited from its distinguished parent strains. This strain delivers classic pungent skunk with sour citrus undertones, representing a true old-school profile with modern demand, making it highly sought after by both recreational users and cultivators seeking reliable genetics with historical significance.

This strain is known for its resilience, uniformity, and relatively short flowering time typically around 45-50 days, and thrives both indoors and outdoors. Best grown in precision-controlled indoor hydroponic conditions for optimal results, though it adapts well to various growing methods. The plants tend to have good resistance to mold and pests when properly maintained. Sour Skunk is bred by Shoreline Genetics and produces medium-height plants with heavy yields. Indoor growers can expect moderate to high yields with proper training techniques, while outdoor cultivation is suitable in temperate climates. The strain requires standard cannabis growing conditions with attention to humidity control during flowering to prevent mold issues.
