Strain Review by CLMonkey: Sour Caramel

Strain: Sour Caramel 

Grower Name: CLMonkey

Breeder: NW

Medium: Roots Organic Original

Nutrients: Nature’s Nectar N,P,K

Lights type and schedule: General Hydro 300W LED

Hours direct light: 18/6

Days from Seed: 84

Harvest Points: I decided on 84 days when I noticed they were not gaining any more weight. I had 2 in one container. One was 26 inches tall and the other was 21 inches tall. Both looked almost identical except for the height.  Strong branches from the top to bottom. Easily supporting her dense heavy buds.

Dry Yield (grams): 55 grams and 79 grams

Growth Comments: They both grew pretty trouble free. They start out staying pretty short until they sex. The males Sour Caramel showed sex at day 14, and the female showed at day 16. By day 21 they started to flower and stretch.

Comments on smell (during growth, harvest, etc.): Once flowering started I almost immediately noticed a distinct Sour smell mixed with pine and honey. Both Sour Caramels smelled the same throughout flowering. Once I took food away they developed a sour fruit smell. Not citrus but more like currents or cranberry. When I cut them down it smelled like sour fruit, floral pine with a hint of sour milk (but not a bad sour smell. it was kind of sweet).

The Smell: Floral, Fruit, Spice, Sour, Dairy

The Smoke: The smoke from Sour Caramel is Thick but not heavy on the lungs, with very little expansion. Sour Caramel is able to take large hits without coughing. In a bowl they smoked just as well and seamed to burn for a good amount of time due to dense hard buds.

Final Comments: Even though the high comes on fast, it continued to increase as I continued to smoke ending in vision altering head rushes and extreme pain relief, and one heck of a case of munchies. Once I ate something it only took a few hits to elevate me again and gave me pain relief. Some strains I have to switch to something different after I eat to get relief again. So far that only happens with Sour Caramel and Stone Dragon.
I am looking forward to having her in my medical selection for years to come.
