About Sour Dubb
Sour Dubb is one of the most revered and elusive clone-only cultivars in modern cannabis history. Bred in the early 2000s by California cultivator B-Buds, it crossed East Coast Sour Diesel with BOG's renowned Sour Bubble (BogBubble phenotype). Sour Dubb produces dense, light green, golf-ball-shaped calyxes smothered in thick, sticky trichomes with subtle lavender blushes. The aroma is intensely sour and complex—combining tart green apples, sour diesel fuel, sweet bubblegum candy, and damp earth. The smoke delivers a rapid, hard-hitting cerebral buzz that transitions into a heavy, soothing body melt that relaxes tense muscles without causing immediate couchlock.

The Story & Lineage Origin
🧪 1. B-Buds' Rare California Clone

🍏 2. Sour Green Apple & Bubblegum Fuel
Sour Dubb stood out from other diesel hybrids due to its distinctly sour, mouth-coating terpene profile: tart sour green apples, sweet pink bubblegum, and pungent chemical kerosene.
🦍 The Mother of Gorilla Glue #4: In 2012, Joesy Whales' hermaphroditic Chem's Sister plant accidentally pollinated a Sour Dubb mother plant. The salvaged seeds became Gorilla Glue #4 (GG4)—cementing Sour Dubb's permanent status in cannabis lore.
