Sour Apple
Sour Apple
Also known as: Sour Apple Diesel
Overview
Sour Apple is a hybrid cannabis strain, typically classified as indica-dominant with an 80% indica to 20% sativa ratio, though some sources report variations in this classification. The strain was created by Top Shelf Seeds through crossing Sour Diesel with either Cinderella 99 or Pure Kush, with different phenotypes available depending on the specific parent combination used. The strain is known for its bright green buds with orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes, creating visually striking flowers that are covered in a fine layer of milky white trichomes and are sticky with sweet resin.
The strain's name perfectly captures its essence, as it displays a sharp, sour aroma reminiscent of green apples with diesel undertones that create a complex and appealing scent profile. As the name suggests, Sour Apple is a zingy strain with an aroma similar to apple pie, with diesel notes from its parent strains shining through, giving it a distinct sour apple aroma and a delicious intense taste that's both skunky and sweet. The strain has gained popularity across dispensaries for its reliable effects and distinctive flavor profile, making it appealing to both novice and experienced cannabis consumers seeking a balanced cannabis experience.

Growing Information
Sour Apple is a relatively easy strain to grow, but it does get quite large. Growing Sour Apple is not that hard, even for beginners, but if planted outdoor, it could grow up to more than 10 feet. Indoors, the plants grow between 1.00-1.50 m depending on the introduction of the flowering phase, while outdoors Sour Apple can reach four metres of height or up to 13 feet in height. Sour Apple takes a little while to finish flowering; it is usually ready to harvest after nine to 11 weeks, though some sources report a flowering time of 8 to 9 weeks. Indoor yields can reach 18 ounces or more per square meter, with some sources reporting 500-550g/m² indoors and 700g per plant outdoors. It is advisable to have a good trimming routine in place to keep this plant healthy and stay on top of vigorous side stems. This plant will also need topping if growing indoors to prevent it from stretching too close to overhead lighting. Sour Apple may benefit from training techniques such as screen of green (SCROG) or sea of green methods. The strain prefers warm environments with moderate humidity and responds well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation.
