They don't use aj's cut of the sour d. Which is the real one. FYI.
I grew Reserva Privada's SK last year next to DNA's SK. Here's my take:
While the DNA stuff was a more accurate sour kush representation as far as smell (Sour Kush has a unique "sour" smell which IMHO defines it) the RP stuff had a more diesel fuel smell, more like it's big sister, the RP OG#18. The RPSK was stronger than the DNASK, but was more "chemmy". I would opt for the RPOG#18 because it is like the RPSK in most respects only better, more yield and stronger. Stick with the DNA for a more true representation of sour kush. Hope this doesn't confuse you.
FYI proheadies swerves sour diesel is great. I don't know what's wrong with the ones you grew but mine were awesome.
Just planted 4 SK from RP. Most $ I've spent on seeds so far. I'd like to find a strain/pheno I can run exclusively and I wasnt finding it in the others I have tried.
i really think u will like the sour kush.. ive popped a lotta seed in the last couple years and this one definately outshines the rest.. once u choose ur keeper and dial it in, it can be really good to u,, over a pound a light, easy.. and im not b.s'n,, its def. A grade meds.. i have a few friends that own a club in detroit and they have spent thousands looking for a good diesel, when i brought this in to smoke with em, they couldnt believe i found it in a seed pack, lol.. now they are starting to get that u can find dank in seeds, and theres no need to rely on "elite" cut holders.. 100 bucks, worth every penny..wish i could say that for all the clones ive bought.... anyhow,, my only advise is to feed low on ur seed run,, wait for ur clone runs to blast em hard with nutes.. ive seen many people over feed and stress the living crap out of theyre seed grows, then wonder why they hermie, then they trash the breeder for theyre mistakes... diesels in general are not so stable,, gotta treat them with kid gloves at first.. peace out
