Sumo Grande was first created by the Denver-based Colorado Seed Inc. as a combination of Hong Kong (a descendant of Sour Diesel) and the breeder's proprietary Nina Limone strain. Consumers claim Sumo Grande's larger-than-life buds reek of fresh citrus and woody pine, with a coppery undertone emerging from ground-up nugs. When combusted the strain's flavors lean towards its citrus side, producing a light, herbal smoke.

Colorado Seed Inc. keeps its growing information under wraps, but some cultivation notes are available online. The strain grows well in outdoor environments, with its sativa genetics boosting it to heights that require regular pruning. Sumo Grande grows vigorously enough in sunshine to need extra structural support to maintain the weight of its hefty buds. Sumo Grande flowers in approximately 70 days indoors or mid-October in outdoor gardens, producing high yields. Sumo Grande is only available in clone form.
