Medical Benefits Sour Cookies
Ongoing research has suggested that high THC and low CBD strains may have potential benefits including stimulating appetite, reducing fatigue and relieving symptoms of Glaucoma. Although thought to be more effective when working together with CBD, THC is also understood to have some pain-relieving properties on its own. Considering this, this high THC strain may also provide some relief from general aches and pains.
How to Grow Sour Cookies
As a sativa-dominant strain, Sour Cookies is a lean plant with a very vigorous vegetative period. It is a fairly resilient plant that can be grown indoors or outdoors. However, it is important to implement some type of training technique to keep the height in check. SCROG and pruning are essential to maximize usable light and minimize the internode space. The plant will be ready for harvest within 8-9 weeks and will produce nice triangular buds full of delicious trichomes.
