Sour Cream Feminised

Days 1-14, germination and early veg. Sour Cream generally cracks within about two days on damp kitchen paper and is above the medium by day three. The first fortnight came in quick and reaching, narrow leaves angled up from the start. Five nodes by day 14 with real space between them, which tells you what is coming after the flip. Keep the humidity near 70% and damping off stops being a concern.

Weeks 3-6, veg. It wanted to climb. Low-stress training from week three was not enough on its own, so the main stem went over at a right angle in week four and the secondaries levelled up behind it.

Bloom, weeks 1-10. The 17/83 character came through clearly. Terpinolene was noticeable by week three and kept building; resin was obvious without a loupe from about week five. Indoor yield: 500-600 g/m2. Height: Tall. Tested at 26%. Rated medium.

Weeks 4-6, mid-bloom. Loose clusters from week three closed up into defined colas. Buds kept extending rather than thickening, stacking calyxes along the stems. The lower sites did better than expected, because an open plant lets light reach places a bushy one shades out.

Ripening, weeks 8-10. Plain water for the last ten days. Terpinolene was strong enough by then that carbon filtration was not optional in a terraced house. Heads went clear to milky over the final fortnight, amber showing on sugar leaves first, and around 15% amber on the calyxes is a defensible place to stop.

Drying and curing. Hung whole in the dark at 17°C and 58% humidity for twelve days, both held by a dehumidifier because an October room here will hold neither. Stems snapped instead of bending, which is the only test worth trusting. Four weeks in glass after that. The 500-600 g/m2 figure held up. Limonene was far more present after the cure than at harvest — the cure makes flavour, it does not merely preserve it.

Flowering: 10 weeks. Indoor yield: 500-600 g/m2. Outdoor yield: Up to 550 gr. Plant height: Tall. Rated medium difficulty. Feminised seeds.

The catalogue lists creative, calm, and that matches what growers here report back. At 26% THC this sativa sits where there is a usable window rather than a cliff. At 175-185°C the first effect is lift and mental energy, which suits company, a long walk, or work that benefits from it. The body stays light, so it is a genuine daytime option for anyone with a tolerance. The Terpinolene and Limonene together leave a finish that keeps shifting across a session.

Suited to company, creative work, and getting out of the house.

Primary: Terpinolene · Secondary: Limonene · Tertiary: Ocimene. The three shift relative to each other across the cure. Straight off the dry the terpinolene dominates; three or four weeks sealed in glass at 16-18°C and the ocimene underneath comes up to meet it. Vaporising between 180°C and 195°C catches the widest span, because heat takes the lighter ocimene molecules first.

Sour Cream suits growers with the fundamentals in place. Understand pH, rough nutrient ratios and a light cycle before committing to it; it asks for competence rather than expertise. Photoperiod genetics leave plant size and harvest date under your control — veg longer for a bigger plant, or flip early when the ceiling is low. A bloom of 10 weeks fits inside the season here for outdoor growers, with a tunnel making it comfortable rather than tight.
