Sour Patch Kids Strain

Sour Patch Kids, aka SPK, is one strain that truly has it all — a fast-acting and potent high with well-balanced full-body effects, a good yield, and a delectable sour fragrance. 

Sativa/Indica %	Indoor Yield	Outdoor Yield	Flowering Period
40%/60%	2-4 ounces per square foot	4 to 6 ounces per square foot or 25 ounces per plant	46 and 56 days (6.5 to 8 weeks) indoors or outdoors

Sour Patch Kids marijuana strain is a slightly Indica-dominant (60/40) hybrid cross between the Sour Diesel and Sour Kush strains. The effects of SPK come on quick and strong, which is no surprise considering its 24-31% average THC level, as well as its CBD average of between 0.37% and 1.11%. Newer smokers should start slow with this potent strain. In moderation, anyone can enjoy its energy-boosting high. 

Sour Patch buds are equally impressive, with tiny, dense, round nugs like Sour Diesel but thickly coated with golden and purple crystal trichomes and thin amber hairs. It is stunning, and the smell is also to die for, with sweet and sour lime and diesel fragrance you won’t be able to forget. Sour Patch Kids cannabis strain is a great choice for growers, especially the more advanced grower or someone looking for an adventurous growing experience. Although this strain may be somewhat difficult to grow, those who master its tricks are well rewarded.

Sour Patch Kids Adverse Reactions

Most people report pleasant effects from Sour Patch Kids. However, a fair amount felt sleepiness, and a tingling sensation throughout the body, along with a strong sense of body relaxation. 

Some people reported dry mouth and dry eyes, so keep a bottle of water or juice handy. Like with any marijuana strain, especially one this high in THC, you may experience feelings of paranoia and anxiety. However, with moderate usage, this is less likely to occur. Some also report headaches, nausea, and dizziness with this strain, but not more than the average.

In general, it’s a good idea to start slow with a strain like this, especially if you are new or particularly sensitive to THC.
