Sour Yeti
Sour Yeti Strain Overview
Sour Yeti is a relatively modern cannabis strain developed by crossing two well-known genetics: Sour Diesel and Yeti OG. This hybrid combines the cerebral, energizing effects of Sour Diesel with the deeply relaxing, full-body stone of Yeti OG, resulting in a balanced experience that has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users. The strain emerged in the late 2010s as breeders sought to create a variety with the iconic flavor profile of Sour Diesel but with more pronounced physical relaxation.
The plant typically produces dense, resinous buds that are medium to large in size. The flowers exhibit a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. Orange pistils weave through the buds, which are heavily coated in frosty white trichomes, giving them a glistening appearance. The aroma is a complex blend of diesel fuel, citrus, and earthy pine, with the sour notes becoming more pronounced when the buds are broken apart.
Sour Yeti is noted for its balanced effects that begin with an uplifting cerebral rush, characteristic of its Sour Diesel lineage, followed by a gradual body relaxation from the Yeti OG genetics. This makes it suitable for daytime or evening use, depending on the individual's tolerance and dosage. The strain has gained recognition in cannabis competitions and has been featured in various cannabis publications for its unique combination of flavor and effect profile.

Sour Yeti Strain Growing Information
Sour Yeti is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are substantial, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plants exhibit a hybrid growth pattern with moderate height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and up to 200 cm outdoors. They respond well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods, though soil cultivation often enhances the flavor profile. Sour Yeti prefers a Mediterranean climate when grown outdoors, with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. Indoor growers should maintain temperatures between 20-26°C (68-78°F) during the flowering phase.
Special considerations include providing adequate support for the branches during late flowering, as the dense buds can become heavy. The plants benefit from regular pruning to improve airflow and light penetration to lower bud sites. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with particular attention needed during the flowering phase when phosphorus and potassium demands increase. The strain shows good resistance to common molds and pests, though proper ventilation remains important, especially in humid environments.
