Sour Tsunami
Sour Tsunami is one of the original CBD-dominant strains, bred by Lawrence Ringo of Southern Humboldt Seed Collective specifically to push CBD content above THC. The Sour Diesel × NYC Diesel cross typically tests at a 1:1 to 1:2 THC-to-CBD ratio, with low THC and CBD often in the double digits.
Flavor pulls from the Sour Diesel side: a soft fuel signature on the front, an earthy middle, and a sweet woody finish. Myrcene leads, with caryophyllene and pinene support. A frequent recommendation on California and NY dispensary menus for adults 21+ exploring CBD-forward flower without giving up the cannabis aroma profile entirely.
