Sourdough (Cannabis flos Aurora): lineage recorded in the name and limonene in the profile

• Who supplies. Only Aurora, so there is nothing to compare versions with, and a supply break means no availability of this strain, not another version of it.
• Profile. Limonene leads, alongside bisabolol, caryophyllene, linalool, and myrcene. We do not provide percentage shares because sources calculate them against different totals.
• Origin. Established lineage, parents are Wedding Cake and Sour Diesel.
• What is missing. The profile describes one source, so there is nothing to compare it with.

What is Sourdough and where does its name come from?

Sourdough is a cultivar with a lineage of Wedding Cake x Sour Diesel, described as indica and available in Polish pharmacies as a single position. The name literally summarizes this cross: sourdough refers to the sourness from one parent and dough from the other. The lineage comes from the product description of the producer, not from a variety registry.

The record on which this lineage stands reads “Cake x Sour Diesel” and is found in the description of a specific product from Aurora. The term “Cake” is interpreted as Wedding Cake, as that is the full name of this parent in the breeding community. Thus, it is information from the producer about their own product, not confirmation from independent breeding documentation. We note this difference because in the same comparison with twenty-five cultivars, eighty-five origins remain unestablished, and we write about it directly.

Both components of the lineage appear in clusters with other names. Wedding Cake is listed as a parent of three other cultivars available in pharmacies, while Sour Diesel is a parent of one. Sourdough is therefore a point in a denser network of connections, not a strain standing alone, and that is why a list of related names appears further in the text.

The designation indica for this position comes from the same description as the lineage. It is not the result of chemotype testing or official classification, but a commercial label assigned to the product by the producer. We provide it because the patient will see it in the search engine, but we do not build a conclusion on how the dry herb will act based on it.

Which producers supply Sourdough to Polish pharmacies?

One. Aurora introduced this strain as a single pharmacy position, and no other producer has reported dry herb under this name. The registered name is Cannabis flos Aurora, and the numerical component standing in it is provided separately as a range. In this cluster, the same producer leads ten strains.

The numerical component in the registered name is a value declared by the producer, and the allowable deviation from it is one-tenth of that value in both directions. For this position, it gives a range of 26.1-31.9% THC content. Quoting just the number from the label would therefore be presenting the midpoint as if it were a measurement of a specific package, which it is not.

One producer means one supply path, and that is where the variability of availability for this name comes from. When the position disappears from the wholesaler, there is no substitute version under the same designation, so the break lasts as long as the next delivery or how long it takes to change the entry on the prescription. Names run in parallel by several producers better absorb such a loss because the absence of one position does not remove them from the market. However, there is no rule for this: in this comparison, sixty-three strains out of eighty-five have exactly one supplier.

The current state of the assortment is not recorded in this text because it changes faster than the strain page. We maintain it in the list of medical marijuana strains available in Poland. Separately, we describe the other strains from this producer. It is worth remembering that retail hemp flower is a different product than the pharmaceutical raw material dispensed by prescription and does not replace it in any way.

What does Sourdough smell and taste like?

• bisabolol bisabolol
• caryophyllene caryophyllene
• limonene limonene (leading in the pharmacy list)
• linalool linalool
• myrcene myrcene

Sour and fuel-like, with an earthy and herbal background and a distinct spicy note. This is how one source describes this dry herb, on which we base the entire strain profile. The smell matches the name: the first impression is sharp and sour, while sweetness remains in the background. This is not a measurement, just a verbal description.

Under this description stands a set of five terpenes: bisabolol, caryophyllene, limonene, linalool, and myrcene. The weight order provided by the same source places limonene in first place, caryophyllene in second. However, the rest of the record has a flaw that is better stated directly than covered with a nicely looking number.

The shares given for these five positions sum up to seventy-four, not one hundred. The missing quarter is not described by anyone: it is unclear whether it concerns terpenes omitted from the list or a different counting method. Since the denominator remains unknown, the number placed next to the terpene name would look like a measurement, which it is not. Therefore, we provide only the composition and the order, without numerical values.

Smell associations should also be read cautiously. Limonene is associated with citrus peels, caryophyllene with pepper, myrcene with earth and hops, linalool with lavender flower, bisabolol with chamomile. However, these are impressions attributed to pure compounds, not the result of sensory evaluation of this dry herb, in which each of them stands alongside the others.

How long does it take for Sourdough to take effect and how long does it last?

Not for this strain, as the measurement concerned routes of administration, not cultivars. Inhalation through a vaporizer gives effects measured in minutes, while a swallowed portion requires waiting much longer and lasts longer. This difference outweighs everything that can be attributed to the name on the package, so we start from it.

The route of administration determines the course more than the strain itself, and the ranges below describe it, not this cultivar, as pharmacokinetic studies for a single cultivar have not been published.

With Sourdough, caution has an additional reason. The THC content range given for this position, 26.1-31.9%, places it in the upper part of the pharmacy assortment, and the higher the declaration reaches, the less forgiving a single inhalation tends to be. However, this does not affect the clock: it shifts the strength of the sensation, not the moment of its beginning or the duration of the episode.

What has been shown and what has not been shown in studies on this profile?

For the strain itself, nothing has been shown because no one has studied it separately. However, there are works on limonene, the leading component in this profile, conducted on rodents. These are two different levels of evidence that must not be conflated, so we separate them below instead of combining them into one sentence about effects.

We provide the boundary of this data literally because it is often omitted. No anxiolytic effect of limonene has been shown in humans. It has also not been shown that isolated limonene has anxiolytic effects in animals; the only available data from the elevated plus maze test showed an opposite effect, reducing the number of entries into the open arms even at a low dose.

Separately stands what is not a study. The product description attributes a relaxing effect to this position, and patients describe it in their own words online. Both remain a report, not a measurement, and through repetition do not turn into evidence. We discuss limonene more broadly in a separate text.

What side effects have been reported for this strain?

None specifically attributed to it. The reporting system links the description of the event with the medicinal product and the batch number, and the strain name is not a reporting unit in it. Everything that can be honestly written here concerns hemp flower as a group. This boundary is a property of the data collection system, not a gap in the description.

Reports of side effects are collected for the medicinal product with a batch number, not for the strain name, so the following concerns hemp flower as a group of raw materials. The most commonly reported are dry mouth, red eyes, and increased heart rate. Less frequently described are dizziness upon rapid standing, daytime drowsiness, and temporary worsening of short-term memory, as well as anxiety that increases with dosage. A separate issue is medications taken concurrently, especially sedatives and those affecting coagulation: their assessment requires knowledge of the entire list of preparations, not just the description of the plant. We do not provide the frequency of these symptoms numerically because public compilations for hemp flower in Poland do not separate them by individual products.

Additionally, there is a note arising directly from the producer’s declaration. A position from the upper THC content range may be poorly tolerated by someone without prior exposure, and the intensity of the mentioned symptoms increases with the dose. The choice of dosage and the assessment of whether such potency is even feasible belong to the attending physician, not to the strain description.

At what temperature should this dry herb be vaporized?

There is no single correct value for the strain, but there is a range of boiling temperatures for its terpenes. Limonene boils at 177.8 degrees, myrcene at 166.8, linalool at 195.5, and caryophyllene only at 257.5. One setting will not vaporize them in the same proportion. The vaporizer provides the heating temperature.

Boiling values come from chemical databases and concern the pure compound under atmospheric pressure. Caryophyllene shows why this caveat is not a formality: the same compound was also measured under reduced pressure and came out at about 130 degrees instead of 257.5. A comparison of temperatures without specified pressure says less than it seems at first glance. Between the lowest and highest of the values given above lies over ninety degrees of difference, and it is this range, not just the name on the jar, that determines what will make it to the vapor.

For bisabolol, the fifth component of this profile, there is no boiling value in our collection at all. We do not add it by similarity to other sesquiterpene alcohols because no such measurement has been provided in available databases.

The practical consequence is simple: lower settings primarily extract the citrus and earthy parts from this dry herb, while higher ones add a spicy note and change the character of the vapor. Separately, we explain why the vaporizer setting is not the temperature of the dry herb, and why terpene temperature tables can contradict each other.

Which pharmacy strains are related to Sourdough?

Four, all on the side of Wedding Cake or Sour Diesel: Chemango Kush, Farm Gas, Wedding Pie, and Wedding Pop Triangle. Each shares exactly one parent with Sourdough, none shares both, so we have half-siblings here, not a repetition of the same cross under a different name. All four are present in Polish pharmacies.

Three of these names enter the graph through Wedding Cake, one through Sour Diesel. However, a common parent does not promise a similar composition because the other side of the cross is different each time, and with Chemango Kush, there are as many as four positions listed in the origin description instead of two.

Kinship should be separated from name similarity because in this comparison, one is often confused with the other. Wedding Pie and Wedding Pop Triangle indeed have a common parent with Sourdough, but the common word itself proves nothing: the term “kush” is carried here by cultivars with divergent origins, and some of them do not have an established lineage at all. It can also be the other way around. Farm Gas shares a parent with Sourdough without sharing a single word in its name.

Each of these strains is dedicated a separate text: Chemango Kush, Farm Gas, Wedding Pie, and Wedding Pop Triangle. Broader families of styles, such as “og kush” or “fuel”, are not single cultivars in this graph and therefore do not create siblings.

Frequently asked questions about the Sourdough strain

Can Sourdough be purchased without a prescription?

No. Hemp flower is a pharmaceutical raw material dispensed by a doctor’s prescription in the Rpw category, and the strain does not change the dispensing mode.

How many producers supply Sourdough to Polish pharmacies?

One. The strain appears in this comparison exclusively as a position of Aurora, under the registered name Cannabis flos Aurora.

What is the lineage of the Sourdough strain?

Wedding Cake crossed with Sour Diesel. The record comes from the product description of the producer, not from an independent breeding registry.

Does limonene have anxiolytic effects?

This has not been shown in humans, and in the available test on mice, isolated limonene produced the opposite effect. Studies on it were conducted on rodents and via intraperitoneal administration.

Why do you provide THC content as a range?

Because the value on the label is a declaration from the producer with a tolerance of one-tenth of that value in both directions. For this position, it gives 26.1-31.9%.

Which pharmacy strains are related to Sourdough?

Chemango Kush, Farm Gas, Wedding Pie, and Wedding Pop Triangle. Each shares one parent with it, none shares both.
