Sour AppleEffects & Experience
Reported effects center on euphoric, creative. Sour Apple pulls toward physical relaxation and a quiet, observational headspace, a profile that holds up across phenotypes when the seeds are grown to their potential.
Growing Sour Apple
Growing Sour Apple fits shorter outdoor seasons, Pacific Northwest, New England, Great Lakes, where 7-9 week flowering finishes ahead of October rains. Sour Apple is photoperiod, which means you control when it flowers by switching from 18/6 (vegetative) to 12/12 (flowering). Most indoor growers veg for 4-6 weeks before the flip. Indoor yields land around 18 ounces or more per square meter under quality LED, and outdoor plants given full sun and 5-7 gallon containers reliably produce 24 ounces or more per plant. Expected plant height is Medium (5 to 8 FT), with intermediate cultivation difficulty. Practical tips that move the needle: top once at the 4th node to encourage 4-6 even main colas instead of one dominant cola; and flush nutrients in the final 10-14 days for cleaner flavor; trichomes finish properly even on plain pH-adjusted water. The most common challenge growers report is late-flower humidity if your indoor RH climbs above 55% during the final two weeks.
