Also known as: Wicked Sour Skittlez, Wicked Sour
Wicked Sour Skittles Strain Overview
Wicked Sour Skittles is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, gaining popularity in the West Coast cannabis scene. The strain represents a carefully crafted genetic combination designed to produce both potent effects and distinctive flavor profiles. Breeders sought to create a variety that balanced cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation while delivering a complex sensory experience. While its exact origin story varies among sources, most agree it was developed by boutique breeders focusing on flavor-forward genetics.
The strain's name accurately reflects its sensory characteristics. Wicked Sour Skittles plants typically produce dense, resinous buds with a colorful appearance that may include shades of deep green, purple, and orange pistils. The nugs are often coated in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty, crystalline appearance. The strain's most notable feature is its pronounced terpene profile, which combines sour, fruity, and diesel-like aromas that many users describe as reminiscent of sour candy.
Wicked Sour Skittles has gained recognition among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. The strain has become particularly popular in markets that value unique terpene expressions and has been featured in several cannabis competitions, though it remains less widely distributed than mainstream commercial strains. Its moderate growth difficulty and rewarding yields have made it appealing to both commercial growers and experienced home cultivators seeking distinctive genetics.

Wicked Sour Skittles Strain Growing Information
Wicked Sour Skittles is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October outdoors in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to grow to medium height, usually reaching 3-4 feet indoors and 5-6 feet outdoors. Wicked Sour Skittles responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields and light penetration.
Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold in the dense buds and careful nutrient management as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. The strain benefits from a slight temperature drop during the final weeks of flowering to enhance coloration. Growers should monitor for common pests like spider mites and implement preventive measures throughout the growth cycle.
