Sour Cream is a modern hybrid-sativa derived from G13 Haze. Cultivators can expect a moderate difficulty level when growing this strain, which thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments. It reaches maturity after a 77-day flowering period and is recognized for producing a high yield. Its genetic influence has extended to several notable offspring, including Aspen OG and Lemon Crème.

The aromatic and flavor profile of Sour Cream is defined by a complex range of terpenes, led by a dominance of myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene. This chemical makeup continues with humulene, linalool, beta-pinene, pinene, terpinolene, bisabolol, and caryophyllene-oxide. These compounds interact to create a distinct sensory experience that reflects the strain's specific lineage.

The effects of Sour Cream are characteristically THC-dominant, leaving users feeling creative, uplifted, and euphoric. Given these qualities, it is frequently utilized for tasks requiring focus, social interaction, and the stimulation of creative processes. Through its direct genetic contributions, the strain serves as a foundational component in the development of contemporary hybrids like Aspen OG and Lemon Crème.
