Zour Apples
Also known as: Zou Apples
Overview
Zour Apples is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (80% indica/20% sativa) developed by Ethos Genetics through crossing Plantman Jack Herer with Ethos Glue, a stabilized form of Gorilla Glue #4. This strain emerged from the United States breeding scene and has gained recognition for its distinctive aromatic profile and potent effects. The strain is characterized by its thick, resinous colas that produce an abundance of trichomes, making it highly suitable for hash and concentrate production.
The buds of Zour Apples display long, Christmas tree-shaped formations with minty green coloration, bright orange hairs, and a generous coating of frosty white crystal trichomes. The strain's most notable feature is its complex terpene profile, which produces an intense aroma combining sour apple, dry floral notes, and chocolate-like chemical undertones with diesel characteristics. This unique combination creates a distinctly recognizable scent that has been compared to green apples with citrusy undertones.
Zour Apples has earned praise from both recreational and medical cannabis users for its balanced yet powerful effects. The strain typically delivers a creeping high that begins with cerebral stimulation before transitioning into deep physical relaxation. With THC levels ranging from 25-30%, it represents a potent option best suited for experienced consumers. The strain has been distributed through various licensed producers including Natural History Cannabis and has gained particular recognition in both Canadian and American markets.

Growing Information
Zour Apples has a flowering time of approximately 60 days (8-10 weeks) and is considered moderately difficult to grow, making it suitable for beginner to intermediate cultivators. The strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, producing abundant yields when properly cultivated. Indoor growers can expect moderate yields of 0.5-1 oz per square foot, while outdoor cultivation may yield 10-15 oz per plant depending on environmental conditions. The plants produce notably thick colas with high trichome production, making them excellent for concentrate extraction. Growers should note the strain's genetic heritage suggests it may benefit from Screen of Green (SCROG) training techniques to maximize light distribution and yield potential.
