Sour Haze Strain is a high-powered sativa that builds on the strength of its genetic background. It is a cross between pungent Sour Diesel and focused staple strain Haze. With a tangy, mouth-puckering flavor and long-lasting effects, this bud can be a great daytime smoker for productivity or socializing. Its THC levels have been measured at between 12% and 26%. Sour Haze is marked by medium-sized flowers that hold a roughly globular shape with chunky edges. Although this strain is almost purely sativa, its buds maintain a tightly-packed, dense structure more characteristic of indica varieties. The small leaves are a vibrant shade of spring green and are twisted through with curly, rust-colored hairs — which are actually pistils, botanical reproductive structures intended to catch pollen. Finally, translucent white trichomes cover the inner and outer nooks and crannies of these flowers, making them difficult to break up without a grinder. When properly cured, Sour Haze’s flowers burst with a strong citrus aroma. On closer inspection, there’s also a sweet and sour odor characteristic of Skunk #1. Grinding up these buds, meanwhile, releases an herbal scent with hints of eucalyptus. When burnt, Sour Haze gives off a thick smoke that can be harsh on the sinuses and palate and may make eyes water. On the exhale, this smoke has a mostly lemon flavor.
