Sour Space Candy strain guide
Sour Space Candy is a CBD-dominant cross of Sour Tsunami and Early Resin Berry, bred as a hemp strain with almost no THC. People know it for a sour, peppery and citrusy smell and a clear, relaxed feel without much of a high.
Where does Sour Space Candy come from?
Sour Space Candy is a cross of Sour Tsunami, one of the early CBD-rich strains, and Early Resin Berry. Strain databases agree on those parents.
Who bred it is less clear. One database credits Oregon CBD and another names Industrial Hemp Farms, so we can't say for sure. Both agree it was bred as a hemp strain, which is why its THC is so low.
What does Sour Space Candy smell and taste like?
It lives up to the sour part: sour candy and citrus with diesel, earth and black pepper underneath. Tobacco and sage show up in many reviews, and others mention pine, apple or lemon. One reviewer even said it reminded them of pickles.
Published terpene results most often show myrcene first, then terpinolene and caryophyllene. Myrcene gives the earthy side, terpinolene a fresh, herbal brightness and caryophyllene that peppery bite.
Sour Space Candy effects: what people report
People most often describe Sour Space Candy as relaxed, uplifted and happy, with a clear head. Because the THC is so low, reviewers usually say it doesn't feel like a typical high, more a calm, easy mood that settles into the body.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own sensitivity. Dry eyes and dry mouth come up, and a few people mention feeling anxious or getting a headache.
How strong is Sour Space Candy?
On THC, Sour Space Candy is about as mild as it gets: listings put it around 1% or below, and one lab result showed under 0.3%. CBD is where it's strong, usually listed around 15% to 16%, with at least one indoor batch reported higher.
Low THC doesn't mean every product is the same, so check your label for both numbers. Our guide to reading cannabis labels explains what they mean.
Buying Sour Space Candy in Canada
Check that the label shows CBD well above THC, since that's the whole point of this strain. If THC is high, it isn't the hemp-bred Sour Space Candy described here.
Look at the packaging date too, since fresher flower keeps more of its sour, peppery smell.
Sour Space Candy vs Sour Tsunami
Sour Tsunami is Sour Space Candy's parent and one of the strains that started the CBD-rich trend. Both lean sour and diesel on the nose, but Sour Tsunami usually carries some THC alongside its CBD, while Sour Space Candy was bred to have almost none. That makes Sour Space Candy the milder of the two, with even less of a high. If you want a little THC with your CBD, Sour Tsunami is a good choice. If you'd rather keep THC as low as possible, Sour Space Candy fits better.
