Sour Time
Also known as: Sour Time OG
Sour Time Strain Overview
Sour Time is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within the cannabis breeding community. The strain is believed to have been developed by crossing Sour Diesel with an undisclosed Timewreck phenotype, creating a balanced hybrid that combines the cerebral effects of Sour Diesel with the relaxing properties of its indica-dominant parent. Breeders aimed to create a strain that would offer both mental stimulation and physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, conical buds with a forest green coloration, often accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The nugs tend to be medium to large in size with a tight, compact structure typical of indica-influenced hybrids. When properly cultivated, Sour Time develops a striking visual appeal with its trichome coverage giving the buds a shimmering, crystalline appearance under light.
Notable features of Sour Time include its complex aromatic profile and balanced effects. The strain has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its ability to provide both mental clarity and physical comfort without excessive sedation. While not as widely available as some mainstream commercial strains, Sour Time has developed a dedicated following among users who appreciate its nuanced effects and distinctive flavor profile.

Sour Time Strain Growing Information
Sour Time is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate to high, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to reach medium height, staying relatively compact with proper training techniques. Sour Time responds well to SCROG (Screen of Green) and LST (Low Stress Training) methods to maximize yields. Growers should monitor for common cannabis pests and maintain good air circulation to prevent mold, particularly during the flowering stage when buds become dense and resinous.
