also known as Sour Dough Kush, SdK
Sourdough Kush is a three-way cross of Girl Scout Cookies, Sour Diesel and OG Kush that, according to a producer from Oregon, originates from Hermetic Genetics.
According to the available descriptions, Sourdough Kush contains three well-known lines: Girl Scout Cookies, Sour Diesel and OG Kush. One strain description classifies the cross as an indica-leaning hybrid with 70 % indica and 30 % sativa. It is attributed to the breeder Hermetic Genetics; this attribution rests on statements from a producer that grows the strain.
The producer from Oregon lists the parentage as GSC × Sour D × OG Kush, thus using the common short forms of Girl Scout Cookies and Sour Diesel, and describes the plant as a phenotype from the breeding of Hermetic Genetics. By the breeder's own account, it has kept plant material since 1999 under an OMMP license in Oregon and puts the preservation of genetic diversity at the center of its work. Listed under the breeder's name are Peach Wreck and Violet Femme; Sourdough Kush does not appear in these listings.
Another description, by contrast, derives the strain from Sourdough and OG Kush without naming a breeder. Besides the spelling Sour Dough Kush, the abbreviation SdK is in use. The classification also varies: the producer calls the strain indica-dominant, while elsewhere it is listed as a hybrid without further weighting.
According to the producer's description, a pungent smell characteristic of Kush lines combines with petrol notes into a sweet-and-sour impression. Another strain description emphasizes a gassy diesel tone overlaid by a sour, dough-like note, complemented by spicy wood and fresh pine accents. In flavor, the flower is said to be sweet and doughy, with a distinct Sour Diesel character. Elsewhere again, ammonia, butter and nuts are named as flavor notes.
On the terpene profile, the producer and one strain description agree that caryophyllene leads and limonene follows. In third place, the producer names humulene and the strain description myrcene. Both statements are rankings without measured values.
The figures from strain descriptions diverge: one gives 19 % THC and 0 % CBD, another a THC content of 20 to 26 %.
The user reports reviewed describe the effect as relaxing, combined with an elevated, cheerful mood and a tingling in the body. Several mention silliness and increased appetite. How heavily the strain weighs on the body is perceived differently. One report describes it as light and suitable for everyday life, with a clear, focused mind, while another mentions drowsiness. One person noticed no couch-lock despite high potency, whereas another describes exactly this heaviness.
Reports and strain descriptions name dry mouth and dry eyes as side effects, and one strain description adds nervousness.
