St Tropez Sour
Also known as: St. Tropez Sour, St Tropez Sour Diesel
St Tropez Sour Strain Overview
St Tropez Sour is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that combines genetics from the French Riviera region with classic American sour varieties. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, but it appears to have been developed by European breeders seeking to create a strain with the cerebral effects of Sour Diesel combined with the relaxing qualities of indica varieties from the Mediterranean region. The name references the glamorous French coastal town of Saint-Tropez, suggesting either a geographic origin or the sophisticated experience the strain aims to provide.
Visually, St Tropez Sour typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance. The flowers often display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions. The buds are usually covered in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature bright orange pistils that contrast sharply with the green background. The strain's buds tend to be quite resinous, making them sticky to the touch and ideal for extraction purposes.
The aroma and flavor profile of St Tropez Sour combines elements from its diverse genetic background. Users typically report a complex scent that blends fuel-like notes characteristic of Sour Diesel varieties with sweeter, fruitier undertones that may reflect its Mediterranean influences. The flavor often follows the aroma, with a sharp, tangy initial taste that gives way to more subtle fruity or floral notes on the exhale. The smoke is generally described as smooth despite its potency, with many users noting that it doesn't cause excessive throat irritation.

St Tropez Sour Strain Growing Information
St Tropez Sour is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready by mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields, with proper cultivation techniques producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though it thrives in Mediterranean-like climates with plenty of sunshine. Plants tend to reach a medium height, making them manageable for indoor cultivation with proper training techniques. St Tropez Sour responds well to techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields and manage height. The plants have moderate resistance to common molds and pests, but growers should maintain proper humidity control, especially during the flowering phase, to prevent bud rot. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting that the strain is sensitive to overfeeding, particularly with nitrogen.
