Sour Face is a modern hybrid-indica cultivar derived from the genetics of Face/Off OG BX1. As a result of this specific lineage, the strain has become a foundational component in contemporary breeding programs. Its genetic influence is extensive, as evidenced by a diverse array of notable offspring including Critical x Sour Face, Gary Payton x Sour Face, Gelato x Sour Face, Motorbreath x Sour Face, RS #11 x Sour Face, Runtz x Sour Face, Sour Face x Animal Cookies, and Toxic x Sour Face.
The terpene profile of Sour Face is led by myrcene as the dominant terpene, followed by caryophyllene and pinene as the secondary and tertiary contributors respectively. This specific chemical composition defines the plant's aromatic and flavor characteristics. When grown in either indoor or outdoor environments, the plant requires a moderate level of mastery, with a standard flowering time of 68 days and the capacity for a high yield.
Sour Face is a THC-dominant cultivar that functions to provide users with a sense of calm, focus, and physical relaxation. Due to these specific effects, it is frequently utilized by patients seeking support for pain, stress, and sleep. Its role as a parent strain to numerous popular crosses underscores its utility and stability as a modern genetic tool.
