How to grow Sour Z
THC 27% 
Flowering 56 - 63 days 
Yield 600 – 750 g/m² Taste
Seb's take
Z's sweetness meets Sour Diesel's sourness, and the effect matches the confusion of flavours - high and stoned in equal measure, at the same time. A slim plant with modest side branching, she rewards a tight nine-to-a-square-metre planting as much as a loose one.
Where it comes from
Z crossed with Sour Diesel by Growers Choice - the sweetness of the one, the sourness of the other, and the breeder's own verdict that it is among the best things they had tasted in years. A sixty-per-cent sativa. The record is unusually personal about this cross, which tends to happen when a breeder has genuinely surprised themselves. Sweet meets sour, and the effect, as it turns out, is just as double-minded as the flavour.
Nose & flavour
The record's own account: the sweet Z flavour you would know from the parent, with Sour Diesel's sourness laid over the top - a sweet-and-sour pairing that pulls in two directions at once. No further notes are given, and none are really needed; the tension between the two is the whole appeal. Sweet first, sour behind, and memorable for the contrast.
The high
A properly strong twenty-four to twenty-seven per cent THC, and the record describes the effect as being high and stoned at the same time - head and body arriving together rather than in sequence. An intense, two-handed experience that mirrors the flavour's split personality. Approach the upper end as you would a staircase in the dark; there is a good deal going on at once here.
Growing it
A slim plant with around nine side branches, which suits a tight planting - the breeder found nine plants to the square metre just right, and the yields bear the density out at a heavy 600 to 750 g/m². Flowering takes fifty-six to sixty-three days. No great height to manage; this is one to run close-packed in a sea-of-green rather than spread out. Plan the layout to her slim frame and she fills a floor handsomely.
