Super Sour is a documented cannabis cultivar in the Strain Encyclopedia. It is listed with the parent cross Sour Diesel × Sea 91.
About
Super Sour is a sativa-dominant hybrid bred from two well-regarded cultivars: Sour Diesel and Sea 91. The cross brings together the sharp, fuel-driven character of Sour Diesel with the genetic foundation of Sea 91, producing an offspring that leans heavily into the aromatic and experiential profile its parentage suggests.
The nose on Super Sour is exactly what the name implies — a pronounced sour, acrid quality underpinned by the diesel funk that Sour Diesel is known for globally. The terpene expression tends toward the pungent and chemical end of the spectrum, with that signature petroleum note sitting at the front and lighter citrus or earthy tones rounding out the back end. The flavor on the inhale carries that same sour, gassy character, and the smoke itself is typically described as sharp and expansive, consistent with its Sour Diesel heritage.
Users commonly report an experience characterized by mental stimulation and elevated energy. The head-forward nature of this strain is frequently noted, with people describing a sharpened sense of focus alongside an uplifted mood. Social and creative settings are where this strain tends to get referenced most often, reflecting the sativa-leaning qualities inherited from its genetic background. The experience is generally reported as active rather than sedating, making it a variety people reach for during daytime hours.
Grow data specific to Super Sour is not detailed in available records, but growers working with similar sativa-leaning Sour Diesel descendants can reasonably anticipate a stretch-prone plant with a longer flower period and the kind of vigorous branching structure typical of this lineage. Managing vertical growth and ensuring adequate airflow around the canopy would be standard practice for plants of this type.
From a breeding standpoint, the cross of Sour Diesel and Sea 91 represents a straightforward effort to concentrate the most recognizable traits of the Diesel family into a focused, accessible hybrid. Super Sour does not appear to carry notable documented offspring in the available record, but its parentage places it squarely within a lineage that has had lasting influence on North American cannabis breeding. For collectors and cultivators interested in classic Diesel genetics, it remains a relevant representative of that tradition.
