7/8 Sour
7/8 Sour is a modern hybrid-sativa cultivar derived from a Sour Diesel lineage. This strain has proven to be a prolific genetic contributor, acting as a parent to numerous varieties including Loud Hawaiian Punch, Loud Lemonade, Loud Sour, Sour Chem Scout, Sour Headband, and Sour Sherbert. Cultivators can expect a flowering period of approximately 60 days, with the strain demonstrating moderate difficulty and a high yield potential in both indoor and outdoor environments.
The terpene profile of 7/8 Sour is headlined by caryophyllene, humulene, and limonene, followed by myrcene, bisabolol, beta-pinene, and linalool. The composition continues with pinene, ocimene, camphene, and nerolidol, rounded out by trace amounts of caryophyllene-oxide, valencene, borneol, and terpinolene. This complex chemical architecture dictates the strain's distinct sensory profile, characterized by the interplay between these dominant spicy, earthy, and citrus-forward notes.
As a THC-dominant cultivar, 7/8 Sour is known for producing euphoric and uplifting effects that actively support creativity. These characteristics make it a functional selection for social settings and tasks requiring sustained focus. Given its versatility and specific effect profile, it remains a consistent choice for users seeking an energized experience without the heavy sedation often associated with other cannabinoid profiles.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
PMC11060501: opioid-independent antinociception; appetite suppression (anorectic); NF-κB dual-pathway synergy with caryophyllene.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
creative
morningAssociated with terpinolene/limonene profiles; dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation via limonene 5-HT1A supports divergent thinking.
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
happy
anytimeGenetic Profile
Sativa-dominant
Primarily sativa with indica grounding. Uplifting with body relaxation.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
