Sour Power
Also known as: Sour Star
Sour Power Strain Overview
The three-time Cannabis Cup winning Sour Power is a sativa-dominant hybrid bred by HortiLab Seeds. Sour Power is a heavily sativa dominant hybrid (90% sativa/10% indica) strain created by breeders at the infamous Hortilab Seeds farms that is a three-time winner of the High Times Cannabis Cup for best hybrid. They found a sativa dominant sister of the 'StarBud' and then pollinated her with their ECSD v3 Sour daddy to create this brilliant strain. This dank bud is a potent cross between the hugely popular Star Bud X East Coast Sour Diesel strains and boats an intensely high THC level ranging from 22-24% on average. The strain represents a pinnacle of modern cannabis breeding, combining the award-winning StarBud genetics with the legendary potency of East Coast Sour Diesel.
These buds have dense medium-sized grape shaped neon green nugs with fluffy dark red hairs and a thick layer of frosty white trichomes. Nugs of this strain stand out with a neon green shade, tons of orange hairs, and a thick layer of frosty white trichomes. Sour Power has a distinct taste of pungent sour diesel with a lemon aftertaste that sweetens as you exhale and an aroma of sour lemon diesel. It's not exactly easy on the nose, as smells of sour diesel and a woody earthy scent will come across strong. Thankfully, the flavor lightens up a bit as citrus and berry undertones take over. The strain has earned its reputation through consistent victories at cannabis competitions, establishing itself as a benchmark for sativa-dominant hybrids in the modern cannabis landscape.

Sour Power Strain Growing Information
Sour Power grows in both indoors and outdoors. It also has the trait of a Sativa plant. Hence, it has a longer flowering time. Furthermore, it can grow quite tall. While this is not a problem in the garden, there is more work to do if cultivating it indoor. That includes topping it as early as possible to limit its height. Sour Power plants thrive indoors, with a flowering time of 9 to 11 weeks and heavy yields. The strain flourishes both indoors and outdoors, with a longer flowering time of 10 weeks indoors and between October and November outside. It can be quite generous in that each square meter can produce 18 to 21 ounces of buds. When it's free to grow outside, Sour Power loves sunshine and produces heavy yields of up to 21 ounces per square meter. If you're growing indoors, expect a yield of around 400 g/m², while outdoor growers can harvest up to 300 g per plant. The strain requires intermediate growing experience due to its height management needs and longer flowering period, but rewards growers with exceptional yields and award-winning quality buds.
