Sweet 'n Sour Outdoor by Spliff Seeds

Sweet 'n Sour Outdoor seeds: tropical flavour for cool outdoor grows

Sweet 'n Sour Outdoor is a feminized strain (it only gives female plants, the ones that form the buds) from Spliff Seeds, a Dutch breeder. According to the breeder, it is an outdoor hybrid created by crossing Mexican Haze, Princess, Shiva Skunk and a Hawaiian sativa, and it is sativa dominant (the taller plant type with a more mental effect). It looks and smells like its sister Sweet 'n Sour Indoor, but handles the Dutch climate better and flowers much earlier. Spliff Seeds calls it semi-autoflowering: it starts flowering early, without waiting as long for the days to get shorter. At oaseeds we like it because it is an exotic-tasting sativa that actually finishes in climates where others fail to ripen.

Flavour, aroma and effect of Sweet 'n Sour Outdoor

Spliff Seeds describes it as an explosion of aromas: citrus meets mango. It has notes of citrus, pineapple and grapefruit, and a floral, tropical profile that, according to the breeder, makes it one of its tastiest strains. If you like fresh, fruity flavours, you will get plenty here.

The effect changes with the amount. In low doses it gives a clear, uplifting high with a clear head. With more, it becomes more physical, a body stone with a pleasant head buzz. It is a versatile strain: light for the daytime if you go easy, more relaxing if you smoke a bit more.

How to grow Sweet 'n Sour Outdoor outdoors

This version is made for outdoor growing. In the Netherlands it starts flowering in July and is usually ready by the end of September; the breeder puts the harvest between mid and late September. Warmer summers can shorten flowering (the stage when the plant forms its buds) by about a week, and cold weather during flowering can turn the buds purple. It is a big plant: it reaches 2.00 to 2.50 m in height and yields around 450 grams per plant, a high yield the breeder credits to its Skunk heritage.

Spliff Seeds rates it as medium difficulty. Two tips: give it room in the garden or a large pot, because it grows a lot, and watch the humidity at the end of the season, since its dense, resinous buds are the weak point if September is very rainy. If you want to grow indoors, the breeder has a dedicated version, Sweet 'n Sour Indoor.
