Sour Dubb
Sour Dubb
Also known as: Sour Dubble, Sour Double, Sour Dubb Dawg, Sour Dub
Overview
Sour Dubb is a hybrid cannabis strain with mysterious origins that has gained legendary status in the cannabis community. Originally discovered as a clone-only strain of unknown heritage, it is widely believed to be a cross between East Coast Sour Diesel and Sour Bubble, though some sources suggest the male parent may have been NYC Diesel. The original cut was reportedly found from a small batch of seeds gifted by breeder B.O.G. (Bushy Old Grower) at a Northern California festival around 2008. B.O.G. Seeds later recreated the strain using Rez Dog's Sour Diesel IBL crossed with Sour Bubble, resulting in a version that was more indica-leaning than the original sativa-dominant hybrid.
Sour Dubb is characterized by dense, resinous buds covered in copious amounts of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance with bright neon-green coloration and vibrant orange pistils. The strain exhibits vigorous growth patterns with tight internodal spacing and produces a strong central cola when grown using Sea of Green techniques. Most notably, Sour Dubb is famous for being one of the three parent strains used to create the renowned Gorilla Glue #4 (Original Glue), alongside Chem's Sister and Chocolate Diesel, cementing its place in cannabis breeding history.

Growing Information
Sour Dubb is considered moderate to challenging for cultivation, best suited for intermediate to experienced growers. The strain has a relatively fast flowering time of 7-9 weeks (49-63 days) indoors, with harvest typically occurring in late September to early October outdoors. Indoor yields range from 10-12 ounces per square meter (1-2 ounces per plant), while outdoor cultivation can produce 12-20 ounces per plant. Plants remain manageable at 0-4 feet in height and respond well to Sea of Green (SOG) techniques, producing dense central colas when vegged for only about one week from clone. A major cultivation challenge is the strain's susceptibility to mold and mildew due to its dense bud structure and vigorous growth. Growers must maintain low humidity levels (especially during late flowering), ensure excellent air circulation, and consider defoliation for improved airflow. The strain prefers controlled environments and benefits from training techniques like topping and low-stress training. Some phenotypes may exhibit variegated leaf patterns, which can be managed with proper nutrition.
