1937 | Sour Power | 3.5G Flower

1937 Sour Power 3.5G Flower: Sativa Eighth with Sour Diesel Roots, Hell's Kitchen If you grew up around New York cannabis, the word "sour" on a label already tells you something. The 1937 Sour Power 3.5G Flower is an eighth of whole buds from a strain with East Coast Sour Diesel on one side of the family. It is on the shelf at Cannadreams, the licensed dispensary at 862 9th Ave on the corner of West 56th Street in Hell's Kitchen. Sour Power, commonly reported Sour Power is commonly reported as a cross of StarBud and East Coast Sour Diesel, bred by HortiLab Seeds. Some sources name a different breeder, and a separate strain called Sour Power OG adds to the confusion, so read the family tree as the commonly reported version rather than a guarantee. 1937 does not publish which cut it grows. The East Coast Sour Diesel side is the part most people recognize: it is the line behind the sharp, fuel-and-citrus smell New Yorkers have associated with Sour D for decades. Sour Power is listed as a sativa on our menu. The 1937 story in a paragraph 1937 is the flower label of Vireo, a company that has been growing in New York since the state's first round of licenses. The brand dates to 2019, and its name points back to the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937, the federal law that began the long era of prohibition. The brand describes its flower as hand selected and given a longer curing time, and it carries a mix of classic strain names and newer ones across New York. A loud jar in a quiet building Sour Diesel descendants are known for being loud, and that starts before anything is lit. Here is how our staff handle a fuel-leaning eighth at home: Keep it in the original jar or a glass jar with a good seal. Plastic bags do not hold the smell. Grind it right before use, not ahead of time. Ground flower releases far more aroma into the room. If you carry it, put the jar inside a smell-resistant pouch, then in a bag. A coat pocket on a packed C train is not discreet. Know your building rules. New York law limits where adults can smoke, and leases are often stricter. Choosing sativa-listed flower at the counter Menu type labels are a starting point for comparing jars, nothing more. If you like the sour, gassy side of the menu, ask us to open Sour Power next to another sativa-listed eighth and compare the smell side by side. Fuel and citrus should both be there with a Sour D descendant. If one jar smells flat or like hay, that tells you more than the label does. How far an eighth goes An eighth is 3.5 grams. That is roughly three gram joints, seven half grams, or a long run of small bowls. Sour-leaning flower is often a bit drier and fluffier than dessert strains, so it grinds easily by hand or in a two-piece grinder, and it rolls well with a medium grind. Storage through the seasons A sealed jar in a dark drawer at room temperature is the whole system. Avoid the windowsill, where summer sun cooks the jar, and the radiator, where winter steam heat dries it out. Never keep flower in the fridge, since condensation is worse for it than dry air. A two-way humidity pack helps in a dry apartment, and it also keeps the aroma from flattening out over a few weeks.

Why licensed matters for a classic flavor Sour names have been sold on New York corners for decades, with no testing and no way to know what was in the bag. Bodegas and smoke shops are still not part of the legal market. Everything at Cannadreams comes through New York's regulated market with state-required lab testing and labeling, so this 1937 jar comes with a batch label and a packaged date.
