Sourpuss
Sourpuss Strain Overview
Sourpuss is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from underground breeding circles in the Pacific Northwest. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available from commercial breeders. It appears to have been developed through selective breeding of Sour Diesel genetics with indica-dominant varieties, though the specific parent strains remain unconfirmed by major seed banks or breeding collectives. The strain gained a small but dedicated following among connoisseurs for its distinctive flavor profile and balanced effects.
The plant typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a frosty trichome coverage that gives them a silver-green appearance. The flowers often display a mix of deep green and purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The buds are usually compact with orange pistils weaving through the calyxes. Sourpuss is noted for its resinous quality, making it popular among extract artists and concentrate producers.
Notable features include its complex aroma that combines fuel-like notes with sweet undertones, and its balanced effects that appeal to both recreational and medicinal users. The strain's rarity means it's not widely available in commercial dispensaries, but it occasionally appears in specialty markets and through small-scale growers who have preserved the genetics. Due to its limited commercial distribution, much of the information about Sourpuss comes from grower reports and user experiences rather than formal laboratory testing or breeding documentation.

Sourpuss Strain Growing Information
Sourpuss is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for intermediate to experienced growers. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate, 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 growing environments, though it thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to reach medium height, typically staying between 120-160 cm indoors and potentially reaching 180-200 cm outdoors. Sourpuss prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight when grown outdoors.
Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and careful nutrient management as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. Some phenotypes may require support during late flowering as buds become heavy. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields and manage height.
