Sour OG Cheese is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed through the crossbreeding of Citral Skunk and Colin OG. Cultivators will find this variety to be of moderate difficulty, requiring a flowering period of approximately 60 days to reach maturity. As a versatile plant suited for both indoor and outdoor environments, it is recognized for producing a high yield upon harvest.
The chemical expression of this strain is defined by a distinct terpene profile, led by linalool, followed by caryophyllene and limonene. This aromatic composition is further rounded out by notes of humulene, myrcene, beta-pinene, and pinene. These compounds combine to create a sensory profile that is reflective of its complex genetic background, providing a specific aromatic experience shaped by this precise hierarchy of terpenes.
With a THC-dominant cannabinoid profile measured at approximately 20.9 percent and a non-detectable CBD content, the effects of Sour OG Cheese are reported as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make the strain a suitable choice for users seeking relief from stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. Currently, there is no documented record of notable offspring derived from this specific genetic line.

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: local anesthetic equal to procaine; anticonvulsant via glutamate/GABA modulation; reduces morphine tolerance via multisite opioid/GABAergic/cannabinoid action.

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: 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.
