Sour Larry Cross Review
Sour Diesel × Larry OG
Sour Larry Cross is a hybrid cultivar family created by crossing the "Sour" family with Larry OG. It is recognized for its pronounced terpene expression, potent THC levels, and a balanced effect profile that offers both motivation and calm.
Appearance
Expect medium to large, spear-shaped colas with a classic OG structure, featuring tapered tops and dense calyx stacks. Buds are often golf-ball to medium in size with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio and a frosted appearance from a silver-white trichome coat. Pistils typically range from orange to amber by late flower. Some phenotypes may display lavender hues or purple sugar leaves under cooler temperatures.
Aroma & Flavor
The dominant aroma is a blend of lemon and diesel, with underlying notes of pine and pepper. Depending on the phenotype, the sour component can lean towards fresh citrus or fuel-like gas. Larry OG's influence often adds an orange-lemon zest character, softening harsher solvent notes. Secondary aromas include green pine and a faint skunk musk.
Flavors mirror the aroma, presenting a distinct lemon-diesel profile with hints of citrus, pine, and a subtle creaminess or floral undertone. Some expressions may also carry notes reminiscent of candy or grape, particularly after a prolonged cure.
Effects
Sour Larry Cross is known for providing a balanced effect profile. It aims to deliver a motivating uplift, often described as electric or buoyant, without being overly stimulating. Simultaneously, it offers a composed and manageable hybrid body feel that can lead to a sense of calm or relaxation.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This cultivar typically exhibits high terpene saturation, often ranging from 1.5% to 3.0% total terpenes. Key terpenes commonly found include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Pinene, and Ocimene, contributing to its complex aroma and flavor profile. THC levels are generally sturdy, often around 28%, with CBD content below 1%.
Origins & Lineage
Sour Larry Cross is a breeding lane resulting from the cross of a "Sour" family strain (often Sour Diesel or Sour OG) with Larry OG, a citrus-forward phenotype of OG Kush. This combination aims to merge the energizing qualities of Sour Diesel with the more balanced and clear-headed effects of Larry OG.
Cultivation
Growers can expect a vigorous, OG-shaped plant capable of yielding well under optimal conditions. The plant benefits from trellis support due to assertive lateral branching. Buds tend to be dense, with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio and significant resin production. Flowering time is typical for hybrid strains.
