Sour Cookies feminized seeds grow guide

Sour Cookies feminized cannabis seeds are an easy-to-grow variant. They have a relatively short flowering period of 8–9 weeks. The strain does equally well indoors and outdoors.

To grow Sour Cookies seeds indoors, use some two-gallon pots for the seedlings. The hybrid does best with around 18 hours of light to boost growth after germination—continue these lighting times for two weeks after the taproots appear. 

The flowering phase kicks in once the crops reach their full potential. The Sour Cookies fem seeds cultivar enjoy a moderate climate with temperatures at 70 to 79°F and humidity levels between 40 and 50%. 

The environment is a lot easier to control if the setup is indoors. Implementing the Sea of Green (SOG) technique is also beneficial for the strain. Experienced growers use this method to force early flowering and harvesting. It often produces bigger yields and makes the most of small spaces.

Outdoors, Sour Cookies marijuana seeds grow into healthy plants that flower in early July. Growers can expect to harvest by mid to late September. The bushes have long, thin stems that aren't very strong. As the crops develop, it's advisable to insert some support to hold up the limbs. The plants don't need much trimming as the foliage is sparse. 

The lack of leaves allows for proper air circulation. It decreases the likelihood of disease, with moisture-loving pests and pathogens staying away. However, it still helps if you prune any dead or unnecessary leaves. Expect harvests of up to 14 ounces/㎡ indoors or 14 ounces/plant outdoors once the plants are fully mature.

What are the Sour Cookies feminized seeds strain genetics?

Sour Cookies fem seeds have an interesting heritage. A combination of Girl Scout Cookies and Sour Diesel brings some unique properties to this hybrid. Let's take a closer look at the two parent strains:

- Girls Scout Cookies (aka GSC) - A sativa dominant cultivar with a strong flavor. Expect your tongue to enjoy citrus lemon flavors balanced by an earthy undertone. THC levels sit on the higher side at 16–21%.

Users report effects of euphoria, happy bliss, and relaxation. The Girl Scout Cookies strain is a superstar in cannabis circles. It’s won several High Times Cannabis Cup awards since its appearance around 2012. One of its accolades is first-place for Best Hybrid at the Southern California Cannabis cup of 2013. 

- Sour Diesel (aka Sour D or Sour Deez) - A prolific hybrid with a strong sativa dominance. The lemony citrus comes through on the taste accompanied by the intense flavor of Diesel.

This strain uplifts your spirits and boosts your mood while relaxing the body and mind. Sour Diesel has had celebrities such as Wiz Khalifa and Redman hail its energizing prowess.  

Sour Cookies cannabis seeds have taken many properties from their parent strains. The plants bring forth the flavor blend of Sour Diesel, while the effects carry through with happiness and relaxation inherited from both parent hybrids.
