Sage 'n Sour

With its features, characteristics and remarkably diverse effects, Sage 'n Sour defies all established standards, leaving even the most seasoned cannabis enthusiast in a pleasant daze. Crafted by the Dutch breeders at T.H. Seeds, owners of numerous original in-house crosses, one of the strain's highlights is its compact size – a welcome bonus given the predominance of sativa in the plant's genetic profile.

Genetics and Characteristics

Sage 'n Sour is a feminized photoperiod sativa-dominant (75/25) hybrid with a high THC content of 15-19%. This strain combines the legendary Sour Diesel heritage of the East Coast with the potent Haze of the West Coast – S.A.G.E. (Sativa Afghani Genetic Equilibrium). Displaying the best traits of its progenitors, Sage 'n Sour offers a unique flavor profile and a wide range of effects that are worthy of your feedback, which we would greatly appreciate in the comments section.

The plant's structure resembles that of indica, with numerous sturdy branches and short internodes producing rich, green, resin-coated flowers surrounded by fiery stigmas. The crystalline trichomes, reaching their peak terpene and cannabinoid content when they change color to cloudy, generously cover the surface of the buds.

When grown indoors, be ready to harvest 350-450 g/m² (12-16 oz) followed by 9-10 weeks of flowering. However, a truly generous harvest awaits enthusiastic outdoor growers in early October – about 700 g (25 oz) of dense, fragrant flowers per plant.

Flavor and Aroma

The moment you encounter the scent of Sage 'n Sour's buds, it's as if you're transported to a blossoming field fresh with the essence of a summer rain. The strain's bouquet is richly herbaceous, marked by notes of sage, lemongrass, rosemary, and lavender, all delicately intermingled with the earthy scent of moist soil subtly laced with a few drops of diesel fuel. The smoke tantalizes with an exceptionally delicate and unobtrusive flavor, inviting you to fully immerse yourself in the unique experience this remarkable sativa hybrid offers.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

Owing to its crisp yet moderate cerebral stimulation, this strain is ideally suited for daytime use, provided the dosage is tailored to the individual. Whether you're looking to brainstorm and exchange new ideas, concentrate on work and creative problem-solving, or simply enjoy a lively gathering with friends, Sage 'n Sour stands as your versatile companion for any occasion.

Furthermore, the therapeutic qualities of this hybrid are notably effective in combating inflammation, severe headaches, anxiety, depression, and can also significantly alleviate symptoms of PTSD, loss of appetite, and rejuvenate those suffering from chronic stress and fatigue.

Cultivation

This strain exhibits adaptability and resilience to climate variations, thriving in warm, temperate regions that enjoy abundant sunshine. It requires at least 10 hours of direct sunlight daily. Prior to outdoor planting, prepare a seedbed filled with organic soil, enhanced with drainage elements and mycorrhizae. Implement a regular watering schedule, ensuring meticulous monitoring of pH levels and ppm (EC), and making adjustments according to weather conditions. In the vegetative stage, conduct weekly preventive treatments on roots and foliage using natural insecticides, safeguarding the plants against pests and pathogenic bacteria. It's crucial to routinely inspect the plants for any signs of distress.

Indoors, the growers experienced in cultivating cannabis via deep water culture (DWC) systems will find the strain thrives under their care, especially when using ScrOG and providing enhanced nutrition throughout the entire cycle. It's crucial to maintain a consistent microclimate, tailored to each growth stage, and ensure regular air exchange and proper ventilation. During the vegetative phase, provide the plants with full-spectrum LED lighting on an 18/6 regime, transitioning to 12/12 to initiate flowering. Ensure the use of pots with a capacity of at least 20 liters (5.3 gallons).
