It's got an amazing smell that is completely new to me, to be honest. It's been very irritating not being able to put my finger on quite what it is, but it's still drying right now. I'm sure once I get it into jars for a couple of weeks it's true colors will show. Also, the smell is STRONG. It's easily the strongest smelling auto I've ever grown, and on par with the best photos.
I too had Sour Diesel when I was in NYC! It was unforgettable! I started talking with some guys on the street and eventually they asked if I smoked. I purchased a bag, talked a bit more then went about my way with a few friends. I handed the bag to one of them so that she could smell it and put it in her purse. When we got to her apartment I asked for it back. Apparently she thought I had handed her trash so she tossed it in a garbage can. In NYC. Fat chance I was going to see that again so we went to talk to the same guys we ran across before, but they were gone. As we were walking home with our heads down another kid on a stoop asked if we needed anything. Just amazing happenstance. He told us what it was as he handed it to me, and I regaled him with our tale of miscommunication and dumpster weed. This shit smelled like you just smoked a joint while it was still in the bag! It was to this day some of the best weed I've ever smoked! Even more memorable than what I've had in Amsterdam, no foolsies!
As far as the Sour part of the Sour Crack name goes, it comes from a strain called Sour Boggle. On Mephisto's site it's listed as this: Sour boggle (Sour Bubble x Bogglegum Monster Pheno) I've never had or heard of either Sour Boggle or her parents, but I'm not the most well versed in canna, particularly strains across the pond in the UK. It's part of the reason I was looking forward to growing Mephi's beans... New flavors! The smell is strangely sour, bittersweet and bubblegum really. They've blown me away with how ridiculously dank their genetics are. I can't wait to roll a fatty of this stuff, but patience is a virtue.
