Sour Pez

Sour Pez is an indica dominant hybrid strain that was created by La Plata Labs in Southern Colorado. It has 80% indica and 20% sativa. It is a cross between the beautiful Pink Pez and Sour Diesel. It has high THC amounts between 15%-20% and a CBD of 1%.

New patients may be put off by the sour taste of this strain, but this may even out after a few tokes. The scent is fruity with diesel undertones and most people enjoy sniffing into a jar of Sour Pez buds.

The effects on the mind are to look forwards to; a sense of euphoria kicks in and transcends down the body to cause deep muscle relaxation. This strain will induce talkativeness and may be useful in relieving social pressure. Given that the body hit may cause a “couch-lock” effect, it is recommended that you use this strain in the evening when you are done with your day activities.

Sour Pez is a beautiful sight to behold; with olive green buds coated with crystal trichromes. The pistils are pinkish red and intertwine with the nugs to give this strain a beautiful appearance. Akin to indicas, the plants grow short and dense and give a heavy harvest. Expect to harvest by around 55d-60 days. However, adding an extra week may give you nugs with a better taste of diesel and fruity flavors.

Sour Pez has been used to treat loss of appetite, minor pain, nausea and insomnia among others.
