UltraSour
Also known as: Ultra Sour
UltraSour Strain Overview
UltraSour is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its potent cerebral effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain was developed by TH Seeds, a Dutch seed company with a reputation for creating innovative genetics. UltraSour represents a refinement of classic sour genetics, combining the best traits of its parent strains to create a balanced yet powerful sativa experience. The strain's development focused on enhancing the characteristic sour aroma while maintaining the uplifting effects that make sativa strains popular among cannabis enthusiasts.
Visually, UltraSour plants typically display dense, elongated buds with a frosty coating of trichomes that gives them a shimmering appearance. The flowers often exhibit vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating a striking contrast against the green background. The strain's aroma is immediately noticeable, with a pungent sour scent that carries strong citrus and diesel notes, making it easily distinguishable from other varieties.
UltraSour has become particularly favored by those seeking daytime relief without excessive sedation. The strain's effects are typically described as cerebral and energizing, making it suitable for creative activities or social situations. While primarily recreational in its appeal, UltraSour has also attracted attention from medical cannabis users who report benefits for certain conditions. The strain's balanced genetic profile and consistent performance have contributed to its enduring popularity in both North American and European markets.

UltraSour Strain Growing Information
UltraSour 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 yields are generally good, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. UltraSour plants tend to grow tall, often reaching heights of 150-200 cm, requiring adequate vertical space or training techniques like topping or LST (Low Stress Training) to manage height. The plants prefer a Mediterranean-like climate with plenty of sunlight when grown outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining good air circulation to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in humid conditions. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers noting sensitivity to overfeeding, particularly during the flowering phase.
