Sour Dubble strain guide
Sour Dubble, often shortened to Sour Dubb, is a clone-only hybrid thought to come from East Coast Sour Diesel and Sour Bubble. It smells sweet, sour and gassy, and people describe an upbeat, chatty feel. It's also known as one of the parents of Gorilla Glue.
Where does Sour Dubble come from?
Sour Dubble spread as a clone, a cutting passed from grower to grower, so its origin isn't fully pinned down. The cross most often given is East Coast Sour Diesel with Sour Bubble, and two strain databases both repeat it while noting the original genetics are uncertain.
B.O.G. Seeds later recreated it from seed, using its own Sour Bubble and Rez Dog's Sour Diesel line in place of the East Coast cut. That version reportedly leans more toward Sour Bubble and feels more indica, which helps explain why descriptions of Sour Dubble swing between sativa-leaning and indica-leaning.
Its best-known offspring is Gorilla Glue, which came from a cross involving Chem's Sister, Sour Dubb and Chocolate Diesel.
What does Sour Dubble smell and taste like?
Sour Dubble has a pungent, sweet and sour smell with skunk and citrus mixed in. The flavour leans hard on diesel, then finishes sweet and fruity, and some people notice a bubblegum or blueberry note at the end.
One strain database lists limonene as its main terpene, followed by linalool and caryophyllene. Limonene fits the citrus, linalool adds a soft floral sweetness and caryophyllene some peppery bite.
Sour Dubble effects: what people report
People most often describe Sour Dubble as euphoric, talkative and energetic, with a fast mood lift and a social feel. As it settles, many say it turns more relaxed in the body. A few reviewers found it drowsy instead, which may depend on which version they had.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the usual complaints.
How strong is Sour Dubble?
Sour Dubble is a high-THC strain, with listings ranging from about 20% to 27% THC and very little CBD. If it's new to you, start with a small amount and wait before having more. The numbers printed on your batch's label are the ones to go by.
Buying Sour Dubble in Canada
Look for it under several spellings: Sour Dubble, Sour Dubb or Sour Double. Don't confuse it with Dubble Sour Dog, a separate strain that uses Sour Dubble as a parent.
Check the THC and CBD figures and the packaging date, since fresher flower keeps more of that diesel punch.
Sour Dubble vs Sour Diesel
Sour Diesel is on the diesel side of Sour Dubble's family tree, and the two share that sharp fuel smell and an energetic reputation. Sour Diesel is the more pungent and straightforward of the two, all gas and sour citrus. Sour Dubble rounds that out with a sweet, fruity finish from its Sour Bubble side and is often described as more social and chatty. Pick Sour Diesel for the classic, and Sour Dubble if you want the diesel with a sweeter edge.
