This is what got me interested as well in the first place. Its a nice story n all but the hype just doesn't add up for me or any of my friends. Seems like the same thing being repeated over n over by people from outside NY area or who have no experience with the old sour, and have no concept of what truly "loud" bud is supposed to be in relation to sour diesel. A lot of misinformation. Then peeps like uptownpiff etc.All these letdowns led me to start trying to find that old back in the day shit. This lead me to the story of the chemdog, which lead me to top dawg seeds and eventually lucky dog seeds. Do you know what finally happened? Mother fucking success!!!!! My first 2 years of growing was all bulshit and finally I got good bud. The chemdog and even it's close relatives definitely hold up. That's why people still hold it in high regards and theres multiple threads hundreds of pages long about the chemdog all over the internet.
@acespicoli you should check out skunk va interview on "the potcast". You can find it on youtube. Its 3 hours long he goes into alot of history, at least from his perspective
