Sour Apple

Origins and Characteristics

This strain is a cross between the original Sour Diesel and a Pure Kush, resulting in an indica-dominant hybrid that delivers a blend of both indica and sativa effects. Known for its intense sour apple and lemon flavor profile, Sour Apple boasts a powerful potency with a THC content of 27%. Its rock-hard buds are densely coated in a thick layer of milky white trichomes and packed with sweet resin.
