Sour Burger by Grateful Seeds

Sour Burger Strain Info

If you're hunting for a strain that hits hard, smells wild, and grows like a beast, Sour Burger from Grateful Seeds is the full package.

This hybrid was born from a flavor-packed love affair between Hash Burger and Sour Diesel, two legends with big personalities and even bigger terpene profiles.

It brings together the bold, greasy funk of Hash Burger with the electric, citrusy fuel of Sour Diesel, giving you a strain that smells like a gourmet snack after a long session.

And don’t let the playful name fool you—this one's got serious firepower, sitting right around 22% THC with a balanced high that swings both ways: chill and creative, all in one ride.

Sour Burger grows like it means business—tall, strong, and proud, with thick side branches and chunky leaves that spread out like open arms soaking in the sun.

Her buds are a sight to behold—dense, resin-soaked nugs that shine under the light, mixing vibrant greens with flashes of purple like a tie-dye dream.

And that resin production? It’s next level, making her a favorite among hash makers and anyone who loves sticky fingers after harvest.

Indoors, you can expect her to stretch up to 100 cm (about 3.3 feet), making her a manageable beast with enough muscle to load your jars.

Outdoors, she can reach up to 150 cm (around 5 feet), throwing out thick branches and bushy foliage that makes her look wild and untamed—in the best way possible.

Flowering Time & Yield

Sour Burger doesn’t waste your time—flowering in just 8 to 10 weeks, she’s ready before you know it, but don’t rush her: the resin stacks up heavy in those last weeks.

In indoor grows, she can reward you with up to 500 grams per square meter (17.6 oz/ft²), which is no joke considering her compact structure.

Outdoor growers are in for a treat too, with each plant capable of delivering 600 to 800 grams (21 to 28 oz) of pure gas and funk, depending on your love and care.

Harvest usually rolls around in late October, just in time to cure it up before the cold sets in.

Effects and Aroma

Crack open a jar of Sour Burger and it’s like someone just grilled up a fresh cheeseburger with a twist of lemon and a sprinkle of earth.

The aroma hits your nose with deep, earthy funk, layered with citrus zest and a sweet background that clings to the air and lingers on your taste buds.

Take a hit and the flavor rolls in thick and savory, like biting into something greasy and delicious after a long hike—it’s grounding, comforting, and slightly nostalgic.

The high kicks in fast and steady, with a mental lift that clears your headspace, followed by a warm body buzz that soothes every muscle without gluing you to the couch.

It’s the kind of buzz that fits almost any setting—whether you're chilling solo, jamming with friends, or diving into a creative project.

The balance is so well-tuned, you won’t even realize how high you are until you catch yourself smiling at nothing for ten straight minutes.

There's virtually no CBD here, so you're in for a pure THC-driven experience that lasts and lasts—just the way real heads like it.

Sour Burger is available as feminized cannabis seeds, making it even easier to pack your grow space with plants that count.

It’s a perfect pick for anyone chasing big yields, bold flavors, and a strain that doesn’t just grow—it performs.

Grow Tips & Our Take

If you're thinking about adding Sour Burger to your lineup, there are a few tricks we've picked up that can make a big difference.

This strain thrives in warm, stable climates with good sun exposure and low humidity, especially during the final weeks of flowering.

Outdoors, she loves Mediterranean-like conditions, but indoors, she shines when you dial in the environment with proper airflow and moderate temperatures around 24°C (75°F) during the day.

She’s not too picky, but she does best when her roots have space to stretch—so large pots or direct ground planting will boost performance big time.

Although she’s not the most fragile plant out there, she isn’t completely bulletproof either—watch out for powdery mildew and overwatering during late flower.

That thick resin can attract bugs like thrips if humidity isn’t kept in check, so a good preventative IPM routine is key.

We recommend light defoliation to increase light penetration and avoid moisture buildup around those dense buds.

Using a SCROG net or LST helps tame her natural stretch and keeps her energy focused where it matters most—those fat, greasy colas.

In terms of difficulty, we'd say she's in the medium category—not overly demanding, but not exactly beginner-proof either.

What really grabs our attention with Sour Burger is how wild and bold she looks in late bloom—like she’s covered in candy-coated frost and ready to be unwrapped.

It’s one of those strains that makes you stop mid-grow and admire what you’re creating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Sour Burger sativa or indica?

Sour Burger is a balanced hybrid with a 60% sativa and 40% indica ratio.

Sour Burger blends the best of both worlds, making it versatile for day or night use.

This quick cycle makes it ideal for growers looking for fast turnaround without sacrificing quality or yield.
