Sour G is a modern hybrid cannabis strain resulting from the crossing of Sour Diesel and Marshmallow OG. The history and breeding origins of this cultivar remain undocumented, as no specific breeder information or development timeline has been recorded. This hybrid is recognized for a moderate level of cultivation difficulty and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this plant, which reaches maturity following a 67-day flowering period.
The terpene profile of Sour G is led by limonene, followed by caryophyllene, myrcene, linalool, humulene, beta-pinene, bisabolol, pinene, and terpinolene. While these components are confirmed, the cannabinoid potency is characterized by an estimated 10.7% THC content. The sensory experience is defined by this specific hierarchy of terpenes, which provides a distinct aromatic and flavor foundation for the strain.
Users typically report feeling relaxed, happy, and uplifted after consumption. These effects make the strain a candidate for addressing stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. There are currently no notable offspring recorded for Sour G, leaving its genetic legacy focused entirely on its own performance as a modern hybrid.

Research notes below describe isolated terpene mechanisms and early findings. They do not guarantee effects from this strain and are not medical advice.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.

spicy
●●○○
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.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
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
anytimeuplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.
Genetic Profile
Balanced Hybrid
Equal indica and sativa genetics. Balanced body and mind effects.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
