About California Sour
California Sour crosses Afghani with Mexican, pairing two landrace-style parents from opposite sides of the world into one hybrid. That heritage shows in the flavor: diesel and citrus lead, with fruity and sweet notes filling in behind, an unusual combination for a strain built on old-school genetics. THC lands between 14.6 and 17.8 percent, a moderate range that keeps it approachable. It has been used for anxiety, stress, and depression specifically, uses that line up with the calming reputation landrace-heavy crosses often carry. No flowering time or grow specs have been recorded for this cut, so growers planning a cycle around it will need to look elsewhere for timeline guidance. What stands out most is that Afghani-Mexican pairing itself, a genetic combination not often seen paired with a diesel-forward flavor profile like this one.
