Sour Moose Seeds

Plant Morphology

Sour Moose is a fast and healthy grower, with large fan leaves and a high volume and bud sites. Sturdy apical and lateral branching responds well to multiple toppings. Low to moderate stretch in flower makes it good for small grow spaces. These plants experience fast floral initiation and pack on tons of weight very quickly.

Terpenes

Sweet fruity lime/citrus with sharp pine and fuel terps. Some lean more savory, almost garlicky, while others have undertones of cedar astringent or grape cough syrup. Myrcene and ocimene dominant, followed by pinene.

Effect

Killer daytime buzz. Relaxing without being tiring. Very mentally uplifting. Great for socializing with friends and enhancing adventures! Sour Moose is a very potent strain, so try a little bit before you go all in.

Notes from the Grower(s)

The Dirty Bird team wholeheartedly agrees that the Sour Moose is easily one of our favorite cultivars we have ever bred and grown. Its potential was noticeable before it even hit flower due to its perfectly proportioned morphology, ease of growth, and overall vigor, strength and health. Once the cohort was flipped into flower, we became only that much more excited about the potential we were seeing unfold. Structurally, these girls are beasts with incredibly thick and sturdy stalks that require no staking despite their monstrous buds. Floral initiation is early and plentiful with great stacking, dense flowers, and a high calyx-to-leaf ratio. Most of all though, we love this strain’s terps. Pine will bite your nostrils as soon as you enter her sphere of existence, and upon closer inspection, her complexity will reveal itself with fruity, sweet notes that are tempered by sharp pine, garlic and bright astringent and gas. While overall the genetics blended incredibly well together, we observed about half of the cohort resembling the Sour Lime Haze (Dirty Bird Genetics) in morphology: short and squat bushes with fat, round colas. The other half was a mix of Moose n Lobstah (Dynasty Genetics) dominant, with long conical buds and equally strong morphology, and hybrids of the two. Every plant we tested was strong and worthy of a space in any grow. We are super excited to get this in the hands of more growers and unleash its potential into the community at large.

Notes from the Breeder(s)

The Sour Moose has been an incredible strain to grow. Throughout testing it proved to be a very stable cultivar with no incidences of intersex traits. The Sour Moose had excellent stalk strength on almost all phenotypes tested and exhibited an average length flower maturity of approximately 50-55 days. In addition to stalk strength and overall plant strength, the Sour Moose also exhibited superlative trichome production as well as high floral generation. The flowers on the Sour Moose form very dense buds that stack on one another maximizing yield per square inch of stalk while still retaining adequate air flow pathways between flowers which will be helpful in deterring mold infections. The high trichome accumulation of the Sour Moose allows for a rich and dynamic terpene profile with citrus/lime scents dominating. Pine and fuel undertones also help to increase the complexity and rich texture of the terpene profile of the Sour Moose making it one of my favorite strains to grow, harvest, and ultimately ingest.

From a breeding perspective, the Sour Moose creates many bracts of a large volume per flower which correlates with this strain’s ability to not only create a high quantity of seeds but also to allow space for the development of large, healthy seeds. The viscid stigmas, almost velvet textured in appearance, are long and thick which aid in capturing pollen grains needed for seed creation. The Sour Moose is a workhorse that will provide a high accumulation of flower, trichomes and terpenes with little effort needed in its maintenance and if breeding is your goal, this cultivar has an exceptional ability to create high volumes of large and healthy seed.
