Because ecsd is an out cross from dr green thumb. It’s a fairly close representation. I would consider sour diesel to be real, lol because it’s a cut too. It’s still just not a widely circulated plant. It’s just always been coveted.
ECSD is absolutely not an outcross from Dr GT. He made s1s with it. ECSD was being worked by rez before Dr GT even sold seeds.
ECSD is the real sour. EC was added because there was a different diesel out west going around in the overgrow/cc days, to differentiate.

I'm sure that the cut I got a decade ago is one set of hands removed from Chaco. I gave it to a friend to hold while I got a new spot lined up. He tried giving it back to me with thrips so I hit up shoreline.
The second I looked at the fans and petiole color on the snips I got from Shoreline I was 99% sure its the same. Then it took 10 days to shoot 3 bullshit wispy root hairs, I knew 100%.
I've met a fair number of the frequent posters in the ECSD thread at an event in 2013 or 2014. There were a few people that would draw crowds today just chillin, not worried about wearing branded hats and shit like they do now.
If what we all call sour d isn't sour d, it makes me question what I've been doing with my life lol.
