Sour Cookies

When your parents are rock stars, there’s a good chance that you’ll be one too. Sour Cookies, a 70/30 sativa-dominant hybrid, comes from crossing Sour Diesel and Girl Scout Cookies in a strain that’s enjoyable yet a bit touchy. Enjoy it sparingly to feel its sativa effects, or go to town for an indica-induced session of couch-lock.

Sour Cookies tends to be all over the map when it comes to THC levels, so your experience might be a bit different than someone else’s. Average ranges come in anywhere from 15% to 17%, although some go as high as 28%. Despite having “cookie” in its name, this strain isn’t quite as sweet as one might think. Hashy and earthy smells mix with a dough like quality and are topped off with sour diesel notes. The taste is slightly smoother, with a bit of nuttiness mixed in. Nugs are long and thin without a ton of trichomes and a small spattering of hairs.

Those with a high tolerance or novices who only smoke a bit will mostly enjoy the sativa effects of Sour Cookies. It’s a strain that brings a relaxed cerebral high which triggers many people to become more talkative. Great for social situations, you’ll feel more outgoing, energized, and creative. Your thoughts might not be incredibly focused, but you’ll be completely euphoric. Continue to smoke Sour Cookies and your high will transition into a body buzz that completely takes over. Couch-lock will set in and some individuals may even experience paranoia.

Highly regarded as a pain reliever and antidepressant, Sour Cookies is widely used in the medical cannabis community. Stress and anxiety will melt away, as long as you don’t smoke too much, and those with chronic pain or inflammation will find relief quickly. It works well when fighting fatigue as long as it’s not overdone. Dosage is the name of the game with Sour Cookies.

Sour Cookies is a fairly tolerant strain, allowing you to grow indoors or outside. Plants typically reach a medium height and flowers are pungent and sticky. Give her 8 to 9 weeks to flower and you’ll be pleased with a decent yield.

Are you a novice smoker? It might be best to go easy with Sour Cookies, as her high doesn’t necessarily come on right away and it would be easy to overdo it.
