Sour Raspberry is a modern hybrid strain created through the crossing of Sour Slut and Mendo Purps. The genetic origins of the strain remain focused on these two parents, though the specific history and exact circumstances of its breeding are not documented. As a modern hybrid, it is developed for balanced trait expression, and its cultivation is considered of moderate difficulty. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety, which adapts to both indoor and outdoor environments and reaches maturity after a flowering period of 55 days.

The chemical profile of Sour Raspberry is characterized by a specific sequence of compounds, led by caryophyllene, pinene, and limonene, followed by myrcene, linalool, humulene, beta-pinene, terpinolene, bisabolol, and caryophyllene-oxide. While these terpenes are confirmed, the cannabinoid content relies on averaged data that suggests an estimated 17.9% THC. This chemical composition informs the sensory profile of the plant, delivering a combination of aromatics that stems from the structural presence of its primary caryophyllene and pinene content.

Users typically report effects that are relaxed, happy, and uplifted. Because of these observed properties, the strain is frequently applied in the management of stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. Despite its performance in standard growing conditions and its distinct terpene profile, there are currently no notable offspring recorded for Sour Raspberry in contemporary hybridization history.
