Good review 🎉 Solid
I got my New York City sour diesel cooking right now. Follow me. I teach people how to grow.
There will never be original sour again those days are gone
Guys, what's in your opinion the best Sour Diesel Strain which is still available for purchase? Prefer real breeders over bulk seed sellers like RQS or Zamnesia (or Homegrown Cannabis Comp. 🙈).
$550 an OZ is insane but the quality is legendary. Grew up smoking sour diesel, trainwreck and OG Kush
Yes I have to original NYSD 25 year 🫣
Chem and skunk it is I agree .
I love the horses walking backwards! I am growing SD next!
its just a chemdog pheno man, and chemdog was the 94 champagne from vancity sent to Oregon. leans on the burmese thai nose and hits with afghani hashplant. dr.fruit out!
Sour Diesel is mid af
❤️🍋⛽ ✌🏻🙏🏻😎
Super Sour Diesel was the most beautiful sour I’ve ever seen smelt or smoked. 2 ziplocks and tubaware and my whole floor smelt once u cracked the tubaware but that was 09’-10’ and paid $700 a zip and I’d pay it again gladly especially now a days but yes was very limited like you guys said a zip a piece that was it til next round but can’t wait for the kush competition should bring out some real heat from some real hitters.
I got his book 📕 🔥 thanks
Do a video on haze in nyc and its Origins danny

Bacteria comes in strains, plants like cannabis are cultivars not strains.

I just finished my outdoor run of pirates breath strain i bought a oz from local dispensary that was maked seeded and I'll tell you what its the best bag seed I've ever grown i got a few hundred seeds of some of the best dank I've ever grown for basically free i pulled over ten lbs from six outdoor plants. So far I've found four different phenotypes and they're all outstanding genetics 🧬 I've grown three runs indoor and one outdoor around fourty plants no hermies all super vigorous phenos. So bag seed isn't always junk I've got the dank to prove it

I smoked diesel, sour diesel, ecsd & nycd in amsterdam during several trips over 2000-2010. Some examples were more earthy & kushy, but my faves were grapefruit/citrus flav. A clear, soaring no-ceiling high that cuts through when you're already baked. Wish it was more widely available!
