Sour Poison
Sour Poison
Also known as: Sour Durban, Durban Sour
Overview
Sour Poison is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain that combines the genetics of two legendary cannabis cultivars: Sour Diesel and Durban Poison. This strain features an 85% sativa to 15% indica ratio, creating a well-balanced but energizing experience that showcases the best characteristics of both parent strains. While the exact breeder remains unknown and is considered a mystery, the cultivar has gained recognition in the cannabis community. The strain combines the famously pungent Sour Diesel with the potent South African landrace Durban Poison, resulting in a hybrid that offers all the appeal of its prestigious parent strains despite its harsh, intimidating name.
Sour Poison produces large, dense spade-shaped buds with musty green coloration, dark olive green leaves, and rich light amber hairs. The flowers are covered with a fine layer of chunky crystal-clear trichomes and sweet sticky resin. The cured flowers emit a bright and tangy citrus aroma with closer inspection revealing deep, earthy notes of pine, while breaking apart the feathery buds unleashes the strong, searing fumes characteristic of its Sour Diesel heritage. Growing information suggests the plants can grow somewhat tall with loose, wispy flowers that indicate relatively long flowering times of at least 9-10 weeks to reach maturity, though minimal cultivation information is available, with the strain allegedly preferring Mediterranean-like climates and requiring pruning and structural support, with outdoor harvests typically occurring in mid-October after 63-70 days.

Growing Information
Seeds of Sour Poison are not produced for commercial sale, requiring growers to obtain clippings from mature plants for propagation as clones. The sativa-looking flowers suggest plants can grow somewhat tall and may require occasional pruning in indoor environments, with loose, wispy flowers indicating flowering times of at least 9-10 weeks for harvest maturity. Limited cultivation information is available, but the strain allegedly prefers Mediterranean-like climates and requires pruning and structural support depending on plant height. Flowering period is typically 63-70 days indoors, or mid-October for outdoor cultivation. Due to its sativa dominance, plants may require structural support and careful management of height.
