A wake-and-bake treat and social lubricant in one
Sour Punch is a must-try for lovers of highly cerebral weed with sweet, citrusy smoke. The strain has a THC level of around 18 to 20%, which may not seem much nowadays, but she still manages to provide a potent, long-lasting experience.
A cross of Super Silver Haze and The One, the hybrid delivers a solid blow that is a lot less likely to overwhelm and can be enjoyed by users with moderate THC tolerance.
If you could create your ideal day, what would it be like? We’re guessing it would be a day full of happiness, creativity, and energy. One that allows you to work things with ease, a great attitude, and a genuine smile. If that sounds like what you’re looking for, Sour Punch is your bud. A toke or two of this fast-acting cannabis strain provides everything you want, along with an extra boost of focus and social presence.
An excellent choice even for medical cannabis users, Sour Punch also offers some relief from chronic health woes. The herb soothes pains and discomforts but truly shines in easing mental concerns, such as ADD, stress, and depression. Enjoy this marijuana strain before tackling a considerable workload and share with friends in light social settings or fun weekend adventures.
Sour Punch has not yet achieved worldwide recognition just yet and her flowers, as almost perfect as they seem, are typically not available in dispensaries. Fortunately, Sour Punch seeds are easily found online, and the plant thrives indoors or out, allowing prospective home growers to grow their own buds.

Sour Punch buds have foxtail-shaped green nugs with rich amber hairs, minty sugar leaves, and a wealth of semi-translucent crystal trichomes. Because the strain is a robust-developing plant with several proud sativa characteristics, growers will only need a few plants to fill an entire grow area. The cannabis plant develops at least five internodes and doubles or even triples her size during the fruiting period.
Sour Punch is a heavy feeder that responds well and thrives to fertilization. However, don’t be fooled into thinking that feeding her more will speed things up or enhance her bud production. It will all go horribly wrong overnight, shocking you with a nutrient burn in a heartbreaking bright yellow hue.
A crafty scrogger may utilize the Sativa lady’s natural ability to grow tall to create a beautiful carpet of thick, gleaming flowers two meters in diameter. Through this training method, which denies the cannabis plant a central cola, she puts the same effort into developing all of her blossoms. This results in up to 800 grams of fresh nugs per square meter of homogeneous well-sized plants. Sour Punch is a vigorous yielder who shares a respectable weight on the scale in just 9 to 10 weeks.
Growers will most likely need a ladder if this Sativa is grown outdoors. While that may sound intimidating, the entire flowering phase of this strain is exciting as she starts popping and ripening her bud sites. In the northern hemisphere, each Sour Punch can potentially produce an astounding yield of 1500 grams of sticky nugs by mid-October.
Being a Super Silver Haze bud child, the roaring Sativa genetics of Sour Punch can be pretty challenging to tame or regulate. However, if you do it right, you’ll find that the strain is a gift that keeps on giving. Here are some tips that can help you make the most out of growing this weed:
Use Screen of Green (Scrog). Training your Sour Punch entails bending or even breaking parts of the plant, which can help to boost yield size and quality. The Screen of Green (SCROG) technique is one of the finest methods for this hybrid.
SCROG’s major appeal is that it only requires smaller lights, such as LED or CFL grow lights. This training technique also needs a screen, like garden or poultry netting. The holes in the net should not be larger than 5 centimeters. Some growers prefer to hasten the maturity of their cannabis plants by forcing them to flower early, but it’s best to wait and allow your Sour Punch to grow through the screen.
The screen should be placed between 20 and 30 cm above the growing medium. Once they have grown, tuck the plants back beneath the screen using your fingers. This is to train the ladies to bush out across the screen as much as possible.
To avoid mold issues, make sure there is adequate ventilation in the grow room. Also trim away any growth underneath the canopy to ensure the plants send more energy to the bud sites.
Avoid Nutrient Burn. Burning weed with too much nutrients is quite common among new growers. There’s a variety of reasons for nute burn. Overwatering, applying growth stimulants on a regular basis, misuse of bloom boosters, and combining nutrients over the recommended amount are all causes.
Sour Punch needs a considerable quantity of nitrogen during the vegetative phase, but don’t go crazy! Begin with 25-50% of a pre-packaged nutrient mix’s recommended dosage and increase as needed. These signs may be noticed if a nutrient burn transpires:
Once you have identified that your cannabis plant is suffering from nutrient burn, remove all the damaged parts, then use pH-balanced water to flush out the growing medium. It should be between 6.0 and 6.5 for soil or 5.5 to 6.0 for hydroponics systems. Start with half the nutrients when you resume feeding Sour Punch.
Do Not Overwater. It’s critical to allow plenty of time for your plant’s roots to absorb enough oxygen between feedings. If you don’t, the roots of your plants will be unable to obtain enough oxygen. Overwatering is by far the most frequent blunder made by inexperienced gardeners.
When the leaves of the Sour Punch become full of water, they droop or curl in on themselves. Another noticeable symptom of over-irrigation is yellowing foliage.If you notice any of these symptoms, start watering less often. Also make sure that there’s adequate drainage in the soil and excess water is draining out of the pots.
When determining whether your plants require watering, stick your index finger into the soil as far as the knuckle. If it’s dry, water your plants. Wait a few days and repeat the process if some of the earth is wet.
Keep a High Humidity. Plants respire CO2 via their leaves, losing a portion of the retained water during the process. In a dry environment, cannabis plants lose more water when respiring than they do in moist air, and if they have lower moisture content, a plant’s CO2 intake is reduced, which could lead to cell death if not remedied right away. However, if the humidity level is too high, you’ll cut down on the amount of air in the growing medium, suffocating the plants and raising the likelihood of root rot.
When growing Sour Punch for the first time, adjust the humidity to see what works best. Note that the temperature in the grow room also impacts how humid it should be.
Increase humidity levels by:
Decrease humidity levels by:
Maintain Warm Temperature. Sour Punch thrives in a warm and humid environment with an average temperature of 70°F to 80°F. If the temperature in your grow room falls too low, it will decrease evaporation through the leaves. The suction force, which absorbs nutrients via the roots, is also diminished, resulting in unused nutrients accumulating in the growing medium. When the acidity levels become high, water and nutrient absorption are reduced, causing stunted growth.
