AMG Sour
AMG Sour is a modern hybrid cannabis strain derived from the genetics of Sour Diesel. As a result of this lineage, it has established itself as a reliable cultivar for growers of moderate experience. The plant performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, offering a high yield after a flowering period of 63 days. Its genetic footprint is notable for its role in the development of the offspring strain GWagon.
The chemical profile of AMG Sour is dominated by caryophyllene, followed by humulene, limonene, and myrcene. Beneath these primary notes, the strain features a complex secondary and tertiary range including bisabolol, beta-pinene, linalool, pinene, ocimene, camphene, nerolidol, caryophyllene-oxide, valencene, borneol, and terpinolene. This terpene composition facilitates a precise sensory experience that balances the strain’s chemical complexity with a distinct aromatic presence.
As a THC-dominant variety, AMG Sour produces effects that characterize the user experience as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These therapeutic profiles make it a functional choice for individuals seeking relief from stress and pain, as well as those looking for assistance with sleep. Through its specific effects and its contribution to the legacy of strains like GWagon, AMG Sour remains a staple for those prioritizing a modern, hybrid-driven medicinal outcome.

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.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
happy
