Limelight (Ultra Sour) Strain Review (Edison)
Contents
I tried out some Limelight that’s made by Edison Cannabis Co. for this cannabis strain review, which is their version of Ultra Sour. It’s a pleasant cultivar full of lively terpenes with bright aromas and flavors.
Ultra Sour is sold as a Sativa-dominant strain with mid-to-high THC; this batch's label showed a mid-range THC level and a negligible amount of CBD. There was a humidity pack in the container, which kept the moisture content excellent.
- Type: Sativa-dominant
- Potency: Mid-to-high THC, negligible CBD (exact numbers vary by batch)
- Terpene Profile: Terpinolene, Caryophyllene, Humulene, Pinene, and Limonene (as labeled on this batch)
- Packaging Details: This was packaged on 01/18/2020 and reviewed/tested on 03/24/2020, exactly 62 days later.
- Pricing Details: Purchased 3.5 grams for $34.70 at the SQDC in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. ($9.91/gram)
A note on numbers: THC and CBD percentages and terpene profiles vary by grower and batch, so treat the details here as one sample and check the label on the product you buy. We could not confirm Ultra Sour's parent strains on an official breeder page, so we left the lineage out.
This product was bought legally in Quebec, where adults 21 and older can buy from government-operated stores. In the US, marijuana is still a Schedule I drug under federal law outside narrow 2026 exceptions for FDA-approved and state-licensed medical products, and state laws differ.
Appearance: 2.5/5
When it comes to visuals and bag appeal, this was average for me, and the texture was disappointing. Lots of little popcorn nugs full of leaves are not my idea of proper-looking weed.
The dark and light shades of green covered in a shiny coat of trichomes made the appearance somewhat passable.
Aroma: 4/5
The aromas on this Ultra Sour were pleasant and pungent, jumping out of the container. It was sweet, fruity, and sour with notes of apples and citrus. My favorite aspect of this whole Limelight strain review, it reminded me of a mix between San Rafael’s Tangerine Dream, Riff’s Sour Kush (two-tone ban), and Cove’s Revive Reserve.
Flavor: 3/5
The flavor on this Ultra Sour was slightly less aggressive and less sweet than its aroma, but still very enjoyable. On the inhale I got some piney flavors on the palate, with the sweet and lemony after tones on the exhale. Another aspect that I enjoyed was the smoothness when smoking, a similarity with Namaste’s Ultra Sour Strain.
Effects: 3.5/5
The effects came in gradually and subtly, and I enjoyed smoking this during the day and at night. It was strong enough to put me at ease and light enough that I could still focus on getting stuff done.
Effects vary by person, and NIDA notes that anxiety and panic are more likely with strong products, large amounts or little experience.
Overall: 3.5/5
I’m a pretty big fan of sour, citrusy strains where terpinolene or limonene is the dominant terpene, but only if it’s grown right. I think Edison did a proper job with this cultivar.
I would recommend this to both newer adult consumers and everyday users. If you’ve tried out some Limelight made by The Edison Cannabis Co., let me know what you thought of it in the comments below!
Alternatives
- Ultra Sour: Similar to Limelight, it has a smoothness when smoking and is also a sour strain. However, it may have a slightly different terpene profile due to being a different producer.
- Tangerine Dream: This strain has a similar fruity and sweet aroma to Limelight and may be more flavorful. However, it is not a sour strain and may have different effects.
- Sour Kush: Also a sour strain like Limelight, it may have a stronger flavor profile, though its effects may differ.
- Green Crack: Similar to Limelight in its Sativa-dominant effects, it may provide a more energizing experience. However, it has a different terpene profile and may not have the same fruity and sour flavors.
- Chemdawg: A strain with a piney flavor profile. It may be stronger than Limelight and have different effects.
