Appearance
Sourdough #1 plants typically grow to medium height with robust branching, responding well to training techniques. The leaves are generally dark to olive green, and the buds are dense, often spear-shaped or conical, with abundant trichome coverage giving them a frosted appearance. Cooler temperatures during late flower may induce purple or plum hues on the bract tips.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Sourdough #1 is characterized by a prominent bakery note, akin to fresh sourdough bread, complemented by a tangy, citrus-like zest and underlying diesel fuel undertones. Upon consumption, flavors of sour citrus, toasted bread, and a hint of spice are noticeable, with a clean lemon-zest finish.

Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Sourdough #1 typically exhibits a terpene profile dominated by myrcene, limonene, and beta-caryophyllene, with contributions from humulene and linalool. Its cannabinoid content usually falls within the mid to high range for THC, generally between 18-26%, with less than 1% CBD.
Growing
Cultivating Sourdough #1 generally involves moderate difficulty, with plants showing a typical stretch during early flowering and moderate internodal spacing. It responds well to indoor growing techniques such as topping and SCROG. The dense buds are resin-rich, and the plant structure is considered manageable for indoor environments.
Origins & Lineage
Emerging from West Coast craft circles in the late 2010s to early 2020s, Sourdough #1 is believed to be a hybrid resulting from a cross between a Diesel family strain and a cookie, cake, or OG-influenced dessert lineage. The '#1' designation typically signifies a keeper selection from a breeding project, highlighting a balanced profile with a strong expression of its signature traits.
