Sour OG is a balanced 50/50 hybrid known for its distinct diesel-forward aroma and a dual-stage effect profile that transitions from cerebral stimulation to physical relaxation.

About Sour OG

Developed by The Cali Connection in Los Angeles, California, Sour OG—originally known as 818 Headband—gained recognition after securing first place at the 2011 High Times Medical Cup in Detroit. The strain is a cross between Sour Diesel and OG Kush. Users typically report a two-phase experience: an initial, energized head high characterized by feelings of happiness and increased chattiness, which eventually gives way to a heavy, sedative body effect often described as couchlock. In terms of chemical profile, the strain generally tests around 20% THC with CBD levels typically remaining below 2%. The aromatic profile is dominated by sharp notes of diesel fuel, which are rounded out by secondary earthy, floral, and pine-like undertones.

Plant characteristics

Plants can be cultivated in both indoor and outdoor environments. The average flowering time ranges from 60 to 75 days. Yields are approximately one pound per plant, with outdoor grows typically producing slightly higher results.
