This week we are taking a look at the Sour Power OG strain.
Bred by Karma Genetics and grown by Chemdank, the Sour Power OG strain is a cross of Biker Kush (Karma) X Sour Power (Hortilabs).
Sour Power OG is a hybrid strain, described on the Karma Genetics site as “a pretty easy to grow OG Kush Hybrid with a clear Sour D influence”
Despite its release back in 2015, this strain hasn’t been covered much, and we couldn’t find other reviews online. So hopefully we can shed some light for you on the Sour Power OG cannabis strain here on the ISMOKE website.
Sour Power OG Strain Summary
Sour Power OG, a collaborative masterpiece from Hortilab Seeds and Karma Genetics, emerges as a standout hybrid strain with a high THC content of 21%. This strain is a genetic blend of Karma’s Biker Kush and Hortilab’s Sour Power, capturing the essence of both parent strains to offer a unique and potent cannabis experience.
Dominant in limonene, myrcene, and caryophyllene, Sour Power OG boasts an aromatic profile enriched with sour fuel and lemon notes, leading to an uplifting and alerting sensory experience. The terpene profile suggests a strain well-equipped to offer relief from anxiety and stress, complemented by its calming and relaxing effects that don’t hinder physical activity, provided the dosage is carefully managed.
The effects of the Sour Power OG strain are predominantly calming, providing users with a relaxing and sleepy sensation, yet with an interesting twist of arousal, making it versatile for various settings. However, it’s potent enough to induce feelings of paranoia and anxiety in some, highlighting its potency and the need for mindful consumption.
Flavor-wise, the Sour Power OG strain presents a complex palette ranging from ammonia and diesel to menthol, indicative of its robust and mouth-coating taste. This strain stands as an excellent choice for those seeking relief from pain, stress, and insomnia, thanks to its powerful therapeutic properties.
Cultivating Sour Power OG requires some experience, given its balanced yet demanding growth profile. The plant thrives under conditions that allow its Sour D heritage to shine, promising yields that reflect the quality and potency expected from such a distinguished genetic lineage.
Sour Power OG represents a union of award-winning genetics, offering cannabis connoisseurs and medical patients alike a strain that is both effective and enjoyable, with flavours and effects that cater to a wide array of preferences and needs.
Appearance
She’s certainly a looker – this Sour Power OG strain sample has been grown really well.
The bud is nice and dense, covered in trichomes and has a lovely complex colour that ranges from darker green to vibrant orange, including the pistils. The darker spots of the leaves also have a slight purple-ish hue in places, making this bud look darn-right delicious!
Smell
Not a big smeller initially, this one took breaking open to really come into its own. The scent released from Sour Power OG captures a delicious and dank pungency, reminding me a bit of East Coast Sour Diesel (more than, say, OG Kush). Ever so slight hints of lemon also came out of this bud.
Grinding this up revealed more of the same; the Sour Power OG has a lovely and complex scent to match its appearance.
On the Karma Genetics website, it states that “Sour Power OG has a mouth-coating flavours ranging from Sours to Lemons to Gas/Fuel” and some of this is certainly coming through in the smell of this sample.
Taste
The flavour of Sour Power OG is enjoyable through both the bong and the vaporiser, the two methods I tried out with this strain. The Chongz Widow Maker gave a good indication of the flavour to start, but vaping this gave me notes of gassy delicious flavour that was surprisingly less like the OG Kush than I was expecting and more of a flavour in its own right.
I got a similar taste to the scent when consuming the Sour Power OG, the mark of well-cured cannabis. The dank pungency comes through, with the gas/fuel and sour flavours being apparent more than the slight lemon notes which apparently can manifest themselves in this strain.
Effects
As a hybrid strain Sour Power OG delivers an enjoyable high that I could happily experience at any time of the day – smoking and vaping this allowed me to remain productive, while lifting me in a way which I found enjoyable and a bit moreish. I could certainly get used to this one!
Both a cerebral uplift and an enjoyable body-focused relaxation are present in the high. While this one didn’t hit me particularly hard, the high I got from Sour Power OG felt happy, calm and productive.
Conclusion
I’ve enjoyed covering Sour Power OG this week – Karma Genetics did a great job with this strain, and Chemdank and the Dead Fox Collective guys did a great job with the grow.
This is certainly top-quality, as far as UK cannabis goes, and I look forward to covering more of their strains in the future.
