El Chapo

El Chapo is a sativa-dominant hybrid most notably associated with the North London-based breeder Sour Genetics. The original iteration was created by crossing a specific phenotype of Sour Diesel—sourced from Reservoir Seeds—with Headbanger, a hybrid from Karma Genetics. This strain became the signature offering for Sour Genetics, gaining recognition for its high potency and distinct, heavy fuel-like terpene profile.

It is important to note that the name is used by multiple breeders, leading to variations in genetics. The Plug offers its own version of El Chapo, while Gonzo Seeds produces a namesake strain described as a cross between SW Stomper and Narcoberry. Regardless of the specific lineage, the strain is generally sought after for its heady, stimulating effects, which users often report as conducive to creative tasks and sustained focus.
