Sour Pop is a documented cannabis cultivar in the Strain Encyclopedia. It is listed with the parent cross OMFG × Sour Apple.
About
Sour Pop is a hybrid cannabis strain produced by crossing Sour Apple with OMFG. The combination brings together two distinct genetic lines, with Sour Apple contributing its characteristically tart, fruit-forward profile and OMFG lending whatever complexity defines its own genetic makeup. The result is a cross that carries its parentage clearly in both name and expression.
On the nose, Sour Pop lives up to its name with a sharp, candy-like sourness that recalls green apple and citrus peel. The flavor profile follows that same trajectory — tart and sweet in roughly equal measure, with the kind of effervescent quality that makes the name feel earned rather than marketing. There is a brightness to the taste that distinguishes it from heavier, more resinous varieties, keeping the experience clean on the palate from first inhale through the finish.
Commonly reported effects from Sour Pop tend toward the uplifting and mentally engaging side of the spectrum. Users frequently describe a noticeable lift in mood and energy, with a clarity that makes it a strain people reach for during daytime hours rather than winding down at night. There is a sociable, talkative quality that gets mentioned often in user accounts, along with a general sense of ease without the heaviness that deeper indica-leaning genetics tend to produce. As with any cannabis variety, individual responses will vary depending on tolerance, set, and setting.
Grow data for this strain is not available in the current record, so cultivation notes on flowering time, yield, structure, or environmental preferences cannot be provided here. Growers interested in working with this cross would do well to research the parent lines directly for guidance on what to expect in terms of plant behavior and growing requirements, as hybrid offspring often express traits from both sides of the cross in varying degrees.
As a breeding subject, Sour Pop presents an interesting genetic intersection. The combination of Sour Apple's tart fruit characteristics with the OMFG lineage creates a foundation that could prove useful for breeders chasing bright, candy-forward flavor profiles with functional, daytime-appropriate effects. Whether used as a foundation for further crosses or appreciated as a finished variety, it represents a straightforward and well-named expression of its parentage.
