Origins & Lineage
Developed by innovative breeders in West Eu, Sour Princess emerged from a breeding program focused on combining desirable sativa traits with unique flavor and aroma profiles. The strain is a carefully curated mix derived predominantly from classic sativa genetics, with approximately 75-80% sativa contribution.
Minor indica influences, around 20-25%, are present to stabilize growth patterns and add complexity. This genetic composition was achieved through rigorous testing and selection of exceptional phenotypes known for resilience and distinct terpene profiles.
