Appearance
Sour Berry Blue flowers are typically dense and compact, featuring a good calyx-to-leaf ratio and conical shapes. They often display shades of green with hints of lavender or indigo, particularly on the tips, and are covered in a frosty layer of trichomes. Fiery orange pistils contrast with the colorful buds.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Sour Berry Blue is a notable feature, often presenting a layered profile with initial notes of sour citrus and diesel fuel, followed by sweeter undertones of ripe blueberry and blackberry. Upon consumption, the flavor mirrors this complexity, starting with bright, tangy citrus and green apple, transitioning to ripe blueberry, boysenberry, and a hint of cream, with a subtle peppery finish.
Effects

Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This hybrid is characterized by a rich terpene profile, aiming to combine the aromatic qualities of its parent strains. Cannabinoid content typically features THC levels between 18-20%, with CBD levels below 1%.
Growing
