Genetics

Sour Sunshine was created by crossing the fragrant L.A Con with Sour OG. This indica-sativa combination is what makes the body and mid effects of Sour Sunshine so special and potent, providing users with a holistic relief.

Lineage

By combining a legendary Los Angeles-area Afghani with another Afghani specimen, L.A. Confidential got to be a potent indica strain from Los Angeles. This bush of dark leaves is disease and mold-resistant and yields well with proper care.

The sedative properties of L.A Con is no joke, and it is one of the reasons why those who suffer from muscle spasms and chronic pain choose this bud over the most popular indica strains. Sour OG is a powerful sativa strain that comes from the iconic OG Kush and Sour Diesel.

Its energizing effects make it an all-time favorite for both users and breeders, finding the most stimulating properties of sativa in Sour OG. The delicious lemon and pine flavor of this strain mix perfectly with its kush undertone, providing an uplifting head high for users.

You can expect a medium yield from the Sour Sunshine strain and large, beautiful leaves all around these dense buds.
