Reservoir Seeds has the most highly refined version of male/female Sour Diesel on the market today. He has worked on it many generations over about 7 years, and it is a dead ringer for the real deal. I know he has painstakingly worked out the bugs that come with the ECSD clone i.e light sensitivity, and weak stems. Keep an eye out because more Rez SD IBL seeds will be released soon and they go fast.

The other versions might be good but higher possibility for pheno type variation. I would personally avoid anything that had been out crossed with a Haze.

Reserva Privada Sour D is Original Sour Diesel x SourD/G13haze, then back crossed to the original SD.

Cali Conn Sour D is Original Sour Diesel x Sour/OG

Reeferman is Oringinal SourD x Reservoir Super Silver Sour Diesel Haze

Dr. Greenthumb is a feminized S1

There are other seed companies that sell "diesel" strains but they are fakes, look at Dinafem or Bulldog seeds.

seedbay or seedboutique, they are out of stock right now but more are to be released very soon (i think around st paddys day). I have some growing now, still in veg tho. I've done lots of research on SD seeds and his seem to be the best representation.

oh yeah, I missed this question earlier.

If you are looking for the best representation of Sour Diesel, I wouldnt get one that had been outcrossed to a haze because you could get freak phenos with longer flowering times, or phenos that lean towards the haze in the line and are less like the SD. And really the more shit you mix in the greater chance you have of getting plants way different than the SD.

Also I will say that looking at crosses made with the SD IBL and the Original SD clone it seems the SDIBL brings out more dominant SD traits..
Im growing reserva's headband (original sour d x OG kush) and the OG totally dominates the cross, and you will find OG dominates pretty much everything it is crossed with. I would expect much more OG leaning phenos in cali connections SD line, maybe after they have done a few more generations they could breed the OG out but that takes years.
To me Cali Conn SD is just a thrown together seedline put out to compete with Rez.
And even tho I like reserva gear the genetics used in the SD dont impress me much, plus good luck finding grow reports on these, where as the SD IBL is well documented.


Also if you dont care about getting a realistic SD and dont care about haze in the mix why not check out Rez SSSDH IX-I, its a real score at $65 a pack, and he will also have SSSDH fem S1s coming out soon too for like 60 bucks/10seeds. Many kick ass sour dominant plants can be found in the SSSDH.

Yeah I looked around alot, it came down to Rez's Sour D ibl and Dr Greenthumb's ECSD s1's...I went with Rezdog's version cuz I am a little beet leery of an s1 from an already hermie prone genetics...but I prolly gonna try those s1's when funds permit, a little grow off against the ibl.

check out dr grubers grow report of dr greenthumbs sour diesel on this site.. that shit looks like pure fire.. some of the nicest nugs i've ever seen.... and he even got like five zips off of one of his plants.. really good stuff..
i've grown dr greenthumbs og kush, and it was amazing.. but dr grubers grow of the sour d is wayyyyy beyond my expectations.. good stuff..

I emailed DNA a while back and that's what they told me.

SourD/G13Haze is DNA Sour Cream

Ah, well if that's what they told you -- oddly enough they list the original Sour Diesel Genetics for their Sour Diesel

http://www.cannabis-seeds-bank.co.uk/reserva-privada-sour-diesel/prod_2785.html

Also another oddity, unrelated to my question about RP's Sour Diesel Genetics is that RP lists their Sour Diesel as 60/40 indica dominant and Cali Connect lists their Sour Diesel as: mostly sativa. I find it interesting that you can get such different takes off one strain. I wonder where Rez's and Dr. Greenthumbs versions stand in terms of the indica/sativa balance.

well. that is just retarded that rp put that info up on their strain.. everyone knows where the real og sour d comes from, its what the list in that description, but i'm also not foolish enough to believe that is where their strain comes from.. i tend to believe what the other dude said..

Righ right, on the first read I didn't get what ChamberAssassin was saying but now it's clear (hence the edit) DNA supposedly crossed original Sour Diesel with their DNA Sour Cream to get their RP version of Sour Diesel and there is no mention of this in their brochure listing. hmmm.

yah.. that is kinda shady of them tbh.. i hate when breeders do this type of shit.. whats the big secret, and listing the original lineage of sour d is just plain dumb in my eyes.

Maybe I'm high but I don't understand you. Their description of sour d is spot on . They don't say what male they used and reserva privada has yet to disappoint me , it could have been rezs v3 lol. If I were to buy it in seed form,I would get it from the Rez because he's done the most work with sour d even tho he acts like he's 12. To get 5 oz off 1 sour d is crazy easy, this strain puts out like your local whore. Does tend to hermie slightly at the end but no worse than any other over worked strain from crazy origins imo.

They probly wouldnt sell as many if people knew it was Original Sour D x Sour Cream. I thought it was funny how they released it in male female and not their typical style of fem seeds, thats why I emailed them. I read a while back that ECSD doesnt take well to S1'ing, because of the herm factor.

Not surprising tho, so much of the seed business is smoke and mirrors. Lots of money is made off of un-informed buyers or peeps that just dont care.

my point is that i would bet the house on the fact that there is no way on gods green earth that rp used 91 Chemdawg x Mass Super Skunk/Nl to make their cross..
what they listed as the genetics is just where the original sour d came from.. i'm sure everybody out there is familiar with the story of where the chem family came from, and in turn where sour d came from.. but for a breeder to come out with their own version of any strain, and to say that it has the same exact lineage as the first sour d, i just say its bullshit..
thats not to say that it won't be fire or what have you, i'm just saying that is only the lineage of the original sour diesel, and not actually what they are selling under the name of sour diesel..
its no different then them selling that headband that they have... they use the name headband, which was a clone only strain that everyone knows the lineage of, but unless they used the same exact two parents that were used to make the first headband, than all they have is a strain that they are calling headband, and not really the real deal headband.. i've grown rp's headband, and it was fire, but i'm sure its nowhere near say loompa's headband or even 707..
its just like how almost every breeder has a version of say ww.. now, unless they somehow got their hands on the same exact two plants as shanti did in the 90s when he made the original ww, then its not really the original white widow..
and like i said, not saying that any of them aren't any good, but to say that its white widow or headband or sour d, its really not..

One thing I am starting to not like about reserva is their naming after elite clones. Their "headband" is dank but real headband is not original sour diesel x og S1, thats just a name to capitalize on hyped up clone only's. Their shit is dank on their own, they dont need the trendy names the genetics speak for themselves.

agree with you one hundred percent.. that is what i was trying to say in a long winded way, lol..
and i did grow rp's headband, and loved it, but did they really need to name it after an already existing strain?? i just don't like how they feel the need to try and cash in on the names of already existing strains... i do understand trying to get elite cuts that are mostly clone only, and not readily available to the non med public, but i just feel that there has to be a better way to go about doing it and how they market stuff is just crazy to me..
