Sour Grapefruit
Sour Grapefruit
Also known as: Atomic Sour Grapefruit
Overview
Sour Grapefruit is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain created by crossing the legendary Sour Diesel with the classic Grapefruit strain. This potent hybrid combines the energizing diesel genetics of its mother strain with the sweet, citrusy characteristics of its father, resulting in a well-balanced cannabis variety that delivers both mental stimulation and physical relaxation. The strain gained popularity for its unique flavor profile that blends diesel fuel notes with bright citrus undertones, creating an aromatic experience that's both pungent and refreshing.
The buds of Sour Grapefruit are typically light green in color with a chunky, rounded structure that's often spade-shaped. They feature short orange pistils and are generously coated with fine white trichomes that indicate their potency. This strain's distinctive appearance is matched by its complex terpene profile, which is dominated by limonene and caryophyllene, contributing to both its citrus aroma and therapeutic potential. As a sativa-dominant hybrid, Sour Grapefruit offers users the best of both worlds, providing the uplifting cerebral effects associated with sativa strains while maintaining enough indica influence to provide physical comfort without sedation.

Growing Information
Sour Grapefruit is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for both indoor and outdoor growing. The plant has a relatively fast flowering time of 8-9 weeks (56-63 days), making it attractive to growers seeking quicker harvests. It performs well in warm, humid environments and can adapt to various growing conditions. Indoor yields typically range from moderate to good when proper techniques are employed. The strain is known for producing aromatic flowers early in the flowering stage, so indoor growers should ensure adequate ventilation and carbon filtration. Like its Sour Diesel parent, it can stretch during flowering and benefits from training techniques to manage height and improve light penetration to lower branches.
