Description
When we were building our shortlist of CBD hemp flower strains to include in our Delta 8 collection, our Sour Special Sauce CBD hemp flower strain was one of the first to hit the list. As one of our more unusual Indica strains that can help either day or night, along with the creative bursts that seem to emerge after a session with this Sour Special Sauce CBD hemp flower strain, we were sure the addition of the Delta 8 THC compound would further those excellent effects.
We have to toot our own horn and tell you we were spot on when we decided to put our Sour Special Sauce CBD hemp flower strain through the Delta 8 Cold Infusion process. The end result is a robust Indica hemp flower strain bristling with a phenomenal 26.38% Delta 8 THC content. You will definitely benefit from the psychotropic effects this compound is capable of delivering on top of the classic effects our Sour Special Sauce already brings to your table!
The Delta 8 Cold Infusion Process
The introduction of the cold infusion process has been a major gamechanger when it comes to treating CBD hemp flower strains with Delta 8 distillate. As the name “cold infusion” implies, instead of heating the Delta 8 distillate to a level that allows the oil to flow smoothly, we freeze the distillate until it is completely solid. We then pulverize the frozen Delta 8 distillate into a powder and toss it into a container with buds from the chosen hemp flower strain. This is then vigorously agitated so that the powdered Delta 8 THC distillate evenly coats the entire flower, all the way down to the stem.
This method avoids the difficulty of the heated treatment process, which involves maintaining a constant temperature warm enough to allow the distillate to be sprayed evenly across all the plant material. Even when sprayed well, the distillate tends to stay on the surface plant material instead of spreading into the numerous nooks and crannies found on a typical hemp bud.
The end result of the cold infusion treatment process is a purer and truer blending of the Delta 8 THC compound with the cannabinoids contained in the hemp flower strain, all performed without the use of any solvents.
IMPORTANT NOTE CONCERNING CONSUMPTION OF DELTA 8 PRODUCTS: As with all Delta 8 products we offer, we urge you to practice extra caution particularly with the first use of any new product that contains the Delta 8 compound. We strongly recommend that you consume this product in very small doses (as compared to your usual consumption practices for this CBD flower strain). Please wait at least 30 minutes between each dosage session.
While Delta 8 THC does not produce effects as pronounced as its counterpart, Delta 9 THC, the Delta 8 THC compound can still produce a mild degree of psychotropic effects. The addition of Delta 8 THC to this Sour Special Sauce CBD flower strain will not only enhance or amplify the effects you normally enjoy when consuming this strain but can include other effects, including psychotropic reactions or experiences.
(To better educate yourself about Delta 8 THC, we recommend our blog article “Investigating Delta 8 THC” which explores this new compound in much greater detail.)
Type
Indica Dominant Hybrid
Effects
Look for an initial head rush, thanks to the Delta 8 THC addition, which smoothly transitions into a calming and creative state. Perfect for smoothing out the jitters and bringing a layer of calm to the mind. It appears especially effective in slowing down racing thoughts and setting a mental mood perfect for inspirational ideas and new perspectives.
Day or Night
Many consumers find evenings and nights ideal for consuming this Delta 8 Sour Special Sauce CBD hemp flower strain. However, its calming effects combined with creative inspirations make it equally useful during the day.
Flower Details
While the addition of the Delta 8 THC compound may slightly change the look and feel of this Sour Special Sauce, you will find the following description of the original, untreated strain to still be reliable:
Look for a mass of medium-sized buds with the flower clinging tightly and densely to the stems. Upon closer inspection, you will notice pinkish pistils twining through the thick green flowers. This is a hardy strain; as you pluck apart a thick bud, little to no shake or loose leaf will fall off.
Grinding this Sour Special Sauce CBD hemp flower strain is almost as delightful as smelling and squeezing these terpene-rich buds. In just a few turns, a manual grinder perfectly reduces these buds to a wonderful and uniform texture ideal for rolling up joints or filling pipes or vape chambers.
Smell and Taste
While the addition of the Delta 8 THC compound may slightly modify the smell and taste of this Sour Special Sauce, you will find the following description of the original, untreated strain to still be reliable:
Sharp and sour sets the tone for this amazing Sour Special Sauce CBD hemp flower strain! When sniffing a whole bud, your nose will go somewhat crazy with the slightly bitter berry fragrance that pairs wonderfully with hops and earthy aromas.
When smoked or vaped, the sour side really stands out, better emphasizing the bitter berry and earth notes within the flower. To help you remain calm while being fired with inspiration, there are 17 different terpenes at work to deliver the goods. The major terpenes contained in this Sour Special Sauce CBD hemp flower strain are:
- Terpinolene
- β-Caryophyllene
- β-Myrcene
While the above three compounds are the main players for this amazing Sour Special Sauce CBD hemp flower strain, the following terpenes also appear in lesser amounts and offer their own special properties:
- Guaiol
- Limonene
- Linalool
- Terpineol
- Valencene
- α-Bisabolol
- α-Humulene
- α-Pinene
- α-Terpinene
- α-Terpineol
- β-Pinene
- γ-Terpinene

Really the best delta 8 flower I’ve ever found. Great prices and shipping too! There was a sale going on when I ordered and they automatically doubled my order completely free of charge. I didn’t even realize there was a sale going on so I didn’t have to put in any kind of promo code or anything.

Been ordering from here nearly a year, usually the special sauce. They always have some kind of sale, the point system is easy to use, shipping is lightning fast for me (to a TX metro), and the product keeps me cozy. Really hoping to see these guys come out with thcp products.

Will buy again!

I’m usually very happy with this strain, but on my last order I believe I received a completely different cultivar. I’ve been pleased with the customer service up until this point, definitely not like FVF.

Clean trim on the buds. Sticky and sweet. Get ready to chill out.
Andrew Dickinson –
I used to be a big fan of FVF but I quit shopping with them a handful of months ago when their product started having questionable potency. I just (like a fool) tried again and I have to say that I don’t even believe they are treating the buds anymore. Legitamately no effect from the delta 8. I don’t know what happened but talk about dissapointment.
Katie Thomas –
Hi Andrew,

I usually use Sativa dominant. After reading about this strain I decided to try ½oz smalls. It’s not like most Indica dominant effects. Energetic, euphoric buzz. Smell & taste are great!! No racing heart or anxiety. Didn’t make me tired at all (until it got late). Sauce is now a “always have to have” strain. Lasts much longer than Sativa’s. Not as much needed. I just received my full ounce order of BIG beautiful sticky bud!! If your like me (God help you, lol) and don’t like most indica’s try this Sauce out. Btw, delivery 2 days after order….. I love FVF!!

This has been the most disappointing purchase I’ve made. The box I received it in was alarmingly hot so I don’t know if those conditions completely drained all of the nutrients from the product. Otherwise the packaging seemed perfect. I’ve experienced almost no effects despite reading plenty of reviews stating that this is some of the most potent product available. It is easily the least potent along with the Bubba Kush; even the most mid-grade real stuff is more potent. Again, I’m just seriously disappointed with this as I feel like I just payed a thousand dollars for grass that I can mow off the lawn. I won’t spend a single dollar on this site again unless I’m given a free sample to make up for this terrible experience and convince me that your product is any good. What a real shame.

Great flavor, great happy fun times. Excellent quality, lots in common with it’s higher-octane cousins in more enlightened US states, and inexpensive enough to do some Cypress Hill-sized doobs.

Excellent aroma and flavor – very bold in both aspects without being too ‘loud’. Very good effects, and the trim job is fantastic. Just the perfect amount of moisture, too. the flower breaks apart beautifully. Out of the three things I ordered from FVF, this is by far the best. I’ll be coming back for more of this and will be checking out other strains too.

My personal favorite.

This is a great strain!!!! Fern valley never disappoints!!!
Joseph Surina –
The buds came properly cured, sticky and had a perfect water content. Fern Valley Farms really does a great job as far as customer satisfaction goes. Quality seems like the #1 priority with them.
The flavor of this variety was not as good as the lemon octane. While still good, it wasn’t quite as good as my other purchase. I mix my flower with regular pipe tobacco and the lemon octane mix tasted the way a good incent smells.
As far as quality goes this product is still top of the line and any criticism I have is merely the discrepancy between the two sub-strains of the hemp plant.
Great Job Fern Vally! I Appreciate your work.
Robert –
It was a pleasure dealing with your company. The delivery time was very quick and I do truly appreciate that. The products are very good and the prices are very good as well. I will definitely be ordering more products from your company. Thank you!

Gave this a shot in-between some very high quality D9 flower. Taste wasn’t great and it left a chemical taste in my glass. Unsure if this is a D8 issue or the flower itself.
