Sour DIesel is easily the most famous household name and googled strain on the planet, making this particular strain well sought after. Since the origin of Sour DIesel many growers have discovered there are many phenotypes and much myth surrounding this strain, here we will cover the origin, the breeder, genetic lineage and the connection to the New York City Diesel Strain.
How it started?
This is one of those stories that has quite a few twists and turns, however there is some truth to the version I am about to cover. In the early 1990's there was the Chemdawg 91 genetics being grown that was in circulation amongst a close knit group of growers. IN an attempt to possess this strain that had an unbelievable street hype and bag appeal, a breeder names A.J acquired some of the flowers from the Chemdawg 91 genetics. Fortunate enough to find bag seeds, these seeds were sprouted and what came from these is formally known today as Sour Diesel. Considering the bag seed were not a pure version of the original CHemdawg 91 genetic, there is a collective understanding that a super skunk was used for pollination. This may well have been Chemdawg's intention after it is documented he discarded the male plants he had, so using a super skunk to branch out the scared line well have been a realistic target. Otherwise the story that has surfaced also is that the plant turned hermaphrodite and this is the reason for the bag seeds.
N.Y.C.D and the Sourt Part.
Anyone lucky enough to smoke a well grown version can account that a pungent jet fuel taste can linger on the lips once smoked, yet there is no sour aspect to actual flavour when smoked or smelt. A strain that has the appearance of a sativa dominant hybrid with the aroma of a Kush.
