Good banter. Diesel was attributed to Weasel, who grew in W. Mass, and while I can't confirm he created it, I believe he did. You'd have to ask SkVa about that, as he supplied the 86 MSS from Sensi stock, in trade for the 91. SkVa - I'd believe at his word, and recall him confirming this. Sour was born shortly after, 1992 is as best as I can remember, from seeds found in Diesel buds. At least two cuts were going around, more than one seed was grown. One was kept by the Dead kids from NY, and one was kept by Phish kids in MA. The Phish cut was the real deal, and the NY kids traded for it. Once in NY, it was sold by bicycle messenger for big dollars, and the rest is ...
What I can tell you without question is that Weasel, in his own words, admitted to having nothing to do with accidentally creating ECSD, in several posts on all the old boards - IC Mag, and Overgr0w etc. AJ, and all the guys in NY had nothing to do with any breeding at all. They were just retail and propagation. Over the years, a couple of them have tried their hand it, and now they say they invented everything.
AJ's cut isn't the same as ECSD, not even close. The cut of Sour I have, is directly from someone who you'd all recognize, and it does purple at the end, if you grow it right, and let it run 78 days. So does Original Diesel.
Original Diesel at chop 69 days. 68-78F throughout flower, variable RH.
