Aroma
Flavour
“Diesel-tinged with fruity accents and a peppery edge.”
The nose is diesel-tinged with fruity accents and a peppery Afghani edge. The effect is daytime-friendly, sharpening focus and lifting mood as a relaxing body buzz settles in.

Lineage confidence: low — independent of how well-documented the strain itself is.
California Sour is typically described with aromas of diesel, citrus, sweet and skunky and flavours of citrus, diesel, pine and woody. Aroma and flavour vary with grower, batch and freshness.
California Sour is commonly associated with effects such as uplifted, energetic, happy and euphoric. Effects are subjective and vary with the dose, the way cannabis is taken and the individual — this is sensory guidance, not a guarantee.
California Sour is classified as hybrid in the SŌMA catalog. These labels are a loose shorthand rather than a precise prediction of effect; studies find they do not reliably track a plant's genetics or chemistry.
By sensory profile, the closest strains in the SŌMA catalog include Sour Blueberry, Lemon Berry Diesel and Chiesel x Burnham Redeye. SŌMA matches on aroma, flavour and effect rather than name alone.
