Mr Sour R by Mr Hide Seeds
Unknown
Mr. Sour R is a hybrid strain developed by Mr. Hide Seeds, a breeder recognized for refining classic cannabis profiles. This cultivar is designed to offer a balanced experience, merging characteristics from both indica and sativa genetics. It is known for its notable resin production and a distinctive aromatic profile.
Appearance
Mr. Sour R typically presents a medium-tall structure, often exhibiting strong apical dominance if not trained. Its branches are flexible yet capable of supporting significant bud weight. The calyx-to-leaf ratio is high, simplifying the trimming process. Buds are frequently conical or ovoid, appearing frosted due to abundant trichomes. Base colors range from lime to medium green, often contrasted by apricot or rust-orange pistils.
Under cooler temperatures late in the flowering cycle, some phenotypes may develop subtle lavender or mauve hues on the bract tips. The trichome coverage is extensive, extending onto sugar leaves and petioles, giving the flowers a sparkling appearance under light. Resin heads are typically medium-large.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Mr. Sour R is characterized by a prominent sour citrus scent layered over a clean, fuel-like undertone. Common descriptors include lime, grapefruit zest, and a mild diesel note. Secondary aromas may include sweet herbal tea and a peppery, earthy scent. When dried and cured, the profile develops into a complex, sour-forward bouquet with a balancing sweetness.
Upon inhalation, the flavor mirrors the aroma, starting with tart citrus notes like lime and grapefruit, followed by a distinct diesel presence. The exhale reveals hints of sweet herbal tea, white pepper, and a subtle pine finish. In concentrate form, the sour-citrus and fuel components are often intensified.
Effects
Mr. Sour R provides a balanced hybrid effect, with sativa influences contributing to an energetic and uplifted onset. The indica genetics help to moderate these effects, creating a functional experience that is not overly sedating. Consumers report a bright, stimulating initial sensation that can transition into a more relaxed state.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
European cultivation reports and social club data suggest that Limonene and Myrcene are dominant terpenes in Mr. Sour R. Other terpenes like Caryophyllene, Linalool, Humulene, and Ocimene have also been noted. This terpene profile contributes to the strain's characteristic citrus, diesel, and herbal aromatic and flavor notes.
The cannabinoid content for Mr. Sour R typically falls within a moderate to high range. Total THC levels are commonly reported between 18% and 24%, with most samples averaging around 20-22%. CBD levels are generally below 1%, with minor cannabinoids such as CBG present in small percentages.
Growing
Mr. Sour R is noted for consistent vigor and predictable growth patterns. It can exhibit notable stretch when transitioning to flowering. Growers have observed two main phenotype categories: a taller, more aerated expression with stronger lime-diesel aromas and looser bud spacing, and a stockier expression with denser colas. The latter requires good airflow to prevent issues.
The strain is considered adaptable, performing well in various environments from indoor LED setups to outdoor Mediterranean climates. Its high calyx-to-leaf ratio aids in trimming. The flowering period is typical for a hybrid, and yields are generally considered good, especially from the denser phenotypes.
Origins & Lineage
Mr. Sour R was developed by Mr. Hide Seeds, a breeder based in Spain known for modernizing classic cannabis genetics. While the exact parentage of Mr. Sour R has not been officially disclosed by the breeder, the name suggests a strong influence from the 'Sour' family of strains, possibly including varieties like Sour Diesel. The breeding rationale appears to focus on combining desirable sour and fuel-forward aromatics with robust resin production and stable cultivation traits.
