Strain: - Sour Power – ('StarBud' x ‘E.C.S.D. v3’) Hortilab Seeds

Bag Appeal: Stacked, tight calyx formation. Compacted, dense small nuggets pack together along the stem to make up the overall buds. Gorgeous looking – sharp, striking and full of visual appeal. Very little leaf and great trichome coverage.

Bud/Nug Density: Mid density – sativa look, but more compact.

Aroma: Pungent raw diesel – Meaty fuel, chemical candy spray! Hits the senses immediately with a strong and powerful scent. Stand out, yet pleasant funky smell.

Taste: On inhale the taste is surprisingly much sweeter than the aroma suggests. Very hash-like with a sour/floral twist. During which there is more of a citrus - fuel/spray flavor that takes over the sweetness and leaves a fruity/sour tangy taste long after exhale.

Harsh/Smoothness: Smooth smoke, thick and flavorful. Easy toke with no cough fit.

Potency/High: Hits hard and very fast with an instant soaring effect. Wrap around the head/face feeling. Takes immediate hold with a creative, social, up kind of high. No racy edge either, it has a more comfortable, loose/easy feel and yet a very relaxed effect around the whole body.

Overall Satisfaction: Strong smoke – not for the weak of heart!

Couchlock/Uplifting: 50/50 – My mind is focused and more in tune to the task in hand, while I’m locked down. Feeling relaxed and at ease. An hour can pass by easy in what seems like five minutes.

Medicinal benefits: Anxiety, Depression, Appetite, Relaxation, Recreation, Sleep Aid.

Overall score/Final Comments: 9.0 – I have found a great keeper plant out of a single pack of x5 feminized beans. Flowered for 70+ days she’s a smooth, flavorful and potent smoke. Ticks all my boxes and it’s a strain/clone I’ll easy pass around and recommend highly with my close friends.
Will definitely be trying more strains from the Hortilab team in the future.

If you like Diesel/Fuel smoke then this is one that is definitely worth checking out. It's much like Sour Diesel but with added "Hashy" textures to the flavor. The effect is instant and hard hitting. Yield was mid-average this round, but better is achievable once feeding regime is dialed in for this cut.

I can see why Horti keep winning awards with Sour Power, it's an attention grabber during smoking.

Also worth noting - These were feminized beans and 0% intersexing (hermie). Solid grow with a manageable plant stretch in bloom.

Their sour pink grapefruit sounds well tempting as does the sour amnesia... Fucking hell RIU has me ordering at least 1 new pack of seeds for the collection every week. I like the fact they are using the East Coast diesel for the crosses kiss-ass

I got one sour power seed for my current grow. It hermied at around 4 weeks into flowering. It seeded my whole closet. I dont mind that much because its just for me and my wife. Before it hermied it looked awesome. I had such high hope for it. Had to trash it.

:lol: Absolute nothing lol. They even make me buy the seed too :p. Thanx for the love bro 8-), I'm just another grower/stoner/consumer like you and anyone else. I'd not seen any decent info around back when I picked these up, so I took a gamble with them and afterwards thought I'd share my experience with this one ;-).
I have Sour Amnesia & Starberry to try when I eventually get round to them.

Damn bro, that sucks to hear. From seed grows can always be a gamble and Fem beans need that extra care and attention too. Sour D crosses can be sensitive though - It's a known hermie line. But gems can be found, I got lucky as my keeper here is solid.

Ive almost purchased this strain many times. It has Rez's male Sour Diesel V3 which has given off many great offspring. Its the same male that created Casey Jones. I use to run a G13xSDv3 from Head that was the cream of the crop in its day. I believe this was Rez's best Sour Diesel work cause his IBL after wasnt as ECSD like.

I love the fuelly taste so this is a must have, thanks SkunkMunkie.

Sour amnesia was best strain I've seen or smelled in my lifetime!!!! AND when their starberry failed to germ they sent me 3 ten packs to make it right!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME HOW AMAZING IS THAT!!!!!!! sour amnesia was just shockingly beautiful and profoundly complex in its aroma just dripping in crystals

Ok sour amnesia was awesome totally insane......HOWEVER!!!! The 30 starberry they sent me to REPLACE the ten pack that did not germ were also LAME DUDS I just checked one more time and after five days only 4 have sprouted out of 20!!!!!!!!! What makes me mad is that I'm sitting here praising them being extremely grateful that they would do something like send three 10 packs to replace one but now I realize they probably did that because they knew I'd be lucky to get even a few to actually sprout!!! I mean why not just say we're having trouble with this particular strain would you like to choose something different I would be happier to just have something healthy.... And as all of you know time is more important than anything and that has been wasted considerably in the past five months dealing with this!!!!!!!

Not to mention the original super expensive 107.74$ I spent plus shipping on the order! I also don't wanna hear that I germed incorrectly: damp paper towel for 48 hours 12 out of 20 cracked and all including uncracked went straight into root cubes under a humidity dome two fee from a 600 watt eye blue mh from hortilux that was five days ago and I got 4 with actual cotyledons above the cube... I'm use to at least 8 out of 10 being viable healthy babies after five days when spending this much for non feminized beans
