Sour Power Seeds are a new hybrid strain of cannabis that contain a high amount of CBD ( Cannabidiol ) the ingredient which is said to have medical benefits. This article will discuss the use of Sour Power Seeds in the treatment of ailments and how it can be used as an alternative to synthetic pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical drugs. It has been claimed that Sour Power Seeds may help to ease the side effects of chemotherapy, and may also aid in the cure of patients suffering from Leukemia, and Lymphoma. The strain is also claimed to alleviate symptoms of seizures in children and also the pain associated with arthritis.
The strain was developed in Canada, using a hybrid of three different cannabis strains: Sour Diesel, Chronic, and Hash Plant. All three differ slightly in chemical composition, and this is what makes the difference between Sour and the other strains. They are said to be a cross between French and American cannabis strains, hence the similarity to Sour Diesel. Sour is claimed to have around sixty distinct chemical composition compounds, compared to the forty of Chronic, and fifteen of Hash. Hash Plant is thought to be the most powerful of all the strains.
The key difference between Sour Power is found in the way they are cultivated and grown. The Sour variety is cultivated in deep beds, with the flowers producing a resin known as Sweet Marjoram, while Hash Plant is harvested as a soft compact mass. Sweet Marjoram produces a sweet fruity aroma, and is most commonly associated with Moroccan cooking. Sour power seeds are able to withstand full sunlight and do not require constant lighting, although continuous light may be required during the growing process. They are therefore most suitable for indoor growing, and can also withstand frost.
All three strains have high amounts of CBD, although as yet there has been little detailed research comparing their effects on chronic disorders such as cancer and sclerosis. Some anecdotal evidence suggests that the high THC levels in the flowers, concentrates the effect of the CBD, thereby reducing the risk of side effects. THC is a chemical in marijuana that is responsible for the plant‘s characteristic sweet smell. Sour and hash contain a high amount of THC, but low levels of CBD.
All three strains are able to produce active enzymes, which is essential for breaking down the fatty acids present in marijuana. It is the fatty acids that create the distinctive smell we associate with cannabis, although the Sour and Hash strains tend to have a much more terpinen-4-ol concentration than the Sour and High Thc strains. Terpinen-4-ol is a highly abundant compound in cannabis, and accounts for around 70% of the plant‘s weight. The presence of this compound promotes the production of long, spirally growth and results in the plant being relatively short lived.
All three strains are easy to grow indoors, although the High Thc strain is by far the best. This is the one that tends to give people the most trouble when it comes to buying seeds. Although the two other strains are equally easy to grow indoors, the High Thc has the tendency to flower earlier and be more expansive than the rest. This makes it an ideal strain to start with if you are just getting into growing cannabis for its medicinal purposes, or to buy seeds from because of the shorter flowering time of the High Thc.
The best way to tell the difference between the strains is by trying them all out and finding out which one gives you the best high. Testing your personal strain at home is probably the easiest way to do this, simply by placing a few buds in each pot and taking a look at how they react. Most people will choose to buy seeds from the highest quality seed producer they can find, based on their personal experience. However, if you want to be sure, go to your local garden centre or buy a small number of seeds, giving you an insight as to the characteristics of each variety you are interested in.
To conclude, Sativa Dominant is the best strain to buy for growing cannabis. However, it is important to note that this doesn’t mean that High Thc is automatically better, just that it is easier to grow and most people find it easier to work with. If you are just starting out with your first crop, then it might be best to choose the latter.
