Sour Kush
10/3/2019
This is an awesome strain I have done multiple runs of now, both indoor (greenhouse) and outdoor.
Growing: In my experience this strain is pretty forgiving for amature growers. I have put it through it's paces by overheating, overfeeding, and some low to high stress training and I've never had a reaction that has killed the plant or severely affected my harvest, no herming either.
Overheating: In the same tent as Sour Diesel and Kosher Kush and it was the only plant to withstand the heat without getting bud rot. Both other strains were affected.
Overfeeding: in the same tent as Jack Herer, Jack started to show major signs of stress and slowed growth where as the Sour Kush didn't like it, but didn't display as bad of a reaction.
Watering: This plant likes to dry out between waterings in my experience, it doesn't seem to want to stay wet all the time, but that could depend on your growing medium. (I use promix which is primarily peat moss and perlite)
Downside: Only in my most recent run have I had issues with spider mites. In the same tent as Jack but only the Sour Kush seems to have the mite issue. leading me to believe that Jack is more resistant to pests in general or the differing terpene profile of Jack seems to no be as appealing to the mites.
All of this "data" is anecdotal as it's just my personal experience with this strain. Also all of this information refers to Greenhouse growing. I usually don't do too much for my outdoor plants, just the odd watering if it's been dry and no nutes.
As far as smoking it goes I smoked it exclusively for about 4 months. For about 1-2 hours after consuming I would be energetic and get lots of tasks from my to-do list done, then I would feel the sedating effects come into play and it turned to a very relaxing high.
