California Sour is a sativa dominant hybrid strain created through a cross of the super tangy Lemon Diesel X Sour Lemon Diesel strains. Not to be confused with its sister strain, “California Sour Diesel,” this bud is an incredibly rare find that is a favorite of sativa lovers everywhere.
The flavor of California Sour is exactly how it sounds – super sour and tangy lemon with a tinge of diesel upon exhale. The aroma is surprisingly very skunky and pungent with an overtone of tangy lemon and diesel that is released as the nugs are broken apart.
This bud has oversized fluffy light minty green nugs with pale almost white leaves, a spattering of fiery orange hairs, and a super thick frosty coating of tiny milky white crystal trichomes.
The California Sour high is very clear-headed and cerebral in nature with slight body buzzing effects to anchor it. The high starts with a rushing onset of uplifted energy with a sense of focus and motivation that builds without becoming overwhelming. A slowly creeping body buzz will serve to relax your aching muscles, leaving you incredibly happy, slightly lazy, and completely at ease.
Because of these effects and its moderately high THC level of 13-20% on average, California Sour is said to be the perfect bud for treating conditions such as mild to moderate cases of depression, appetite loss, insomnia, chronic stress, and chronic pain.
