Sour Tsunami

Renowned for its pioneering focus on high CBD content rather than THC, Sour Tsunami has earned its acclaim as one of the earliest medical cannabis strains intentionally bred for therapeutic benefits. The brainchild of Lawrence Ringo from the Southern Humboldt Seed Collective, this strain emerged after four years of meticulous crossbreeding between Sour Diesel and NYC Diesel plants. 

A sativa-dominant hybrid, Sour Tsunami matures within a relatively short 9-week timeframe, yielding compact, dark green buds adorned with hints of purple on its leaves. Notably, this strain distinguishes itself by providing effective relief from pain and inflammation without inducing the pronounced psychoactive "high" commonly associated with elevated THC levels. 

The aroma of Sour Tsunami is marked by a familiar musky diesel scent complemented by subtle sweet undertones.
