Sour Apple

Sour Apple flower shares its name with a hybrid that Leafly also lists as Sour Apple Diesel. Leafly and AllBud both name Sour Diesel and Cinderella 99 as the parents, and AllBud’s header splits the cross 60% indica to 40% sativa.

Parents Sour Diesel and Cinderella 99, children Apple Fritter and Apple Gelato

AllBud describes a potent cross with both indica and sativa effects. Leafly’s genetics section confirms the two parents and lists Apple Fritter and Apple Gelato as its children. One AllBud reviewer adds that a different, mostly sativa strain, Original Diesel crossed with Cinderella 99 by Top Shelf Seeds, shares the Sour Apple name.

A green apple note over gas

Leafly’s flavour tags are apple, pear and tree fruit, and one Leafly reviewer finds a green-apple note over gassy diesel in both the aroma and the taste. AllBud describes a pungent sour apple taste that sweetens on the exhale, with apple, citrus, fruity, lemon, lime and sweet as its flavour tags. It likens the aroma to a rotting sour apple and tags it diesel and fruity.

Long, narrow, pepper-shaped nugs

AllBud describes fluffy neon-green nugs, long and narrow, with patches of dark olive-green leaf, long twisty amber hairs, a fine milky-white layer of trichomes and sweet, sticky resin. The Leafly reviewer who noted apple over diesel also saw bright emerald green buds.

Tingly, relaxed and giggly, by report

The reviewer tags that lead on Leafly are tingly, relaxed and giggly, and its description calls the strain extremely potent with a tingly feel. One Leafly reviewer says the high starts cerebral, like a sativa Sour Diesel, and ends in a deep, relaxing indica feel.

AllBud users describe an uplifting head high that builds slowly and feels focused, euphoric and sociable, then fades into a heavy, relaxed body feel. Their tags are body high, creative, hungry, relaxing and sociable.

Myrcene first, with THC figures from both sources

Leafly puts THC at about 18% with no CBD, above the average on its potency scale, and AllBud puts it at 14% to 17% with 1% each of CBD and CBN.

Myrcene (herbal) dominates Leafly’s terpene figures, with caryophyllene (pepper) and pinene (pine) behind it. Leafly’s average rating is 4.3 over 295 ratings, and AllBud’s is 4.5 from 24 votes and 10 reviews.
