Sour Tsunami is a Lawrence Ringo creation — Sour Diesel crossed with NYC Diesel and selected over years for CBD — one of the first strains bred deliberately for it.

The Story
“Sour diesel and citrus over an earthy base.”
The nose is gassy and bright: sour diesel and citrus over an earthy base. The effect is mild and clear — a relaxed, calm, lightly uplifting ease with little of the usual diesel rush.
It's smooth and functional, a pioneering CBD cut with real flavour. For a gassy CBD strain, Sour Tsunami is a flavourful classic.
