Not an independent ISO 17025 certificate of analysis for the specific seed lot you receive.
GENETICS REFERENCE
RKS Breeder Documentation
This reference benchmark documents the upper-percentile phenotype of the Sour OG stabilized line. The breeding criteria for this strain prioritize hybrid balance: no single terpene dominating the profile, trichome density above the cohort minimum, and a tight flower-time window. The reference numbers reflect the chosen phenotype carried forward through stabilization. The line traces to a Gelato × Chemdawg cross, with each generation selected to fix the traits that define Sour OG.
- Intensify the dominant terpene expression of the line
- Reduce structural variation across cohort
- Improve mold & powdery-mildew resistance under high-humidity flower
- Lock the flowering window with ≤ 7 day cohort variance

Quality Metrics
Phenotype Consistency & Stabilization Line
Phenotype Consistency
The values reported on this Certificate reflect the top-performing phenotype(SO-Pheno #5) selected from a 13-plant cohort of the RKS Sour OG S1 line. Across three production cycles, individual plants from this seed line have fallen within a 10–15% variation envelope on total cannabinoids and total terpene yield when grown under comparable indoor conditions.
Note: phenotype expression is subject to environmental conditions (light, nutrients, VPD, training). These figures are not a guarantee of grow outcome.
Stabilization Status
S1 FEMINIZEDThis line has been stabilized through successive inbred generations with phenotype-driven selection. Trait-locking criteria for the SO-Pheno #5 selection:
- Balanced terpene expression (no single >50% of profile)
- Predictable hybrid effect profile
- Cohort variation ≤ 12% on total cannabinoids
- Trichome density ≥ 28%
- Resistance to common mildew strains
- Flower window 8–10 weeks
Expected Grow Outcomes
Reference outcomes assume standard cultivation conditions: 600–900 PPFD, VPD 1.0–1.4 kPa, mineral-fed coco substrate, 18/6 veg · 12/12 flower. Outcomes will vary with cultivator skill, environment, and phenotype selection.
Reference Method Notes
Laboratory Authorization
Note for seed buyers · This Certificate analyzes mature, cured flower from a selected reference plant cultivated by the RKS breeding team under controlled conditions. Seed-grown plants may vary slightly from the tested phenotype depending on environment, nutrient regime, and grower input. For best expression of the SO-Pheno #5profile, follow the cultivation reference outlined in the “Expected Grow Outcomes” section above.
