Sour Sugar
Sour Sugar Strain Overview
Sour Sugar is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed through selective breeding to combine desirable traits from its parent genetics. While its exact breeding history is not widely documented in public seed bank archives, the strain has gained recognition among cultivators and consumers for its distinctive flavor profile and balanced effects. The name 'Sour Sugar' reflects its characteristic combination of sour, diesel-like aromas with underlying sweet, sugary notes.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a frosty trichome coating that gives them a sugary appearance. The flowers often display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues, complemented by bright orange pistils. Sour Sugar plants are known for their resin production, making them suitable for extraction purposes. The strain has gained popularity in certain regional markets and among home growers seeking a flavorful, versatile hybrid.
As with many modern hybrid strains, Sour Sugar's exact genetic lineage and breeding history remain somewhat obscure, with different sources providing varying accounts of its origins. The strain is not among the most widely documented or commercially distributed varieties, suggesting it may be a regional or boutique offering rather than a mainstream commercial strain. This relative rarity means that specific growing characteristics and effects can vary between different phenotypes and growing environments.

Sour Sugar Strain Growing Information
Sour Sugar is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience for optimal results. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also be grown outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures.
Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under ideal conditions. Plants typically reach a medium height of 1.2 to 1.5 meters indoors, with outdoor plants potentially growing taller. Sour Sugar benefits from regular pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. The plants require good air circulation to prevent mold, particularly in dense bud structures. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with sensitivity to overfeeding during the flowering phase.
