Remember chemdog/sour diesel came from seed that came out flower that was traded at a dead show@ deer creek IN, circa early 91. The rest is history. Heres the story-

At a Grateful Dead show at Deer Creek Amphitheatre, 'joebrand' (aka 'wonkanobe') and 'pbud' met 'chemdog' and sold him an ounce of very high quality pot for $500. joe and chemdog exchanged numbers and they later arranged for two ounces to be shipped to chemdog on the east coast. According to chemdog, one ounce was seedless and the other had 13 seeds.

In ’91, chemdog popped the first 4 seeds. From these seeds, one male was found and disposed of (chemdog was young, you can’t blame him). The 3 females were labeled ‘Chemdog’ (now ’91 Chemdog), ‘Chemdog a’ (now Chemdog’s sister), and ‘Chemdog b’. In '01, chemdog and his girlfriend attempted to germ 3 more seeds, labeled ‘c’, ‘d’, and ‘e’. the ‘e’ seed never germinated, ‘c’ turned out to be junk (according to chemdog), and Chemdog ‘d’ was the keeper. In '06, 'chemdog' and 'joebrand' reunited and joe was given 4 of the last 6 beans: Chemdog phenos 1-4, '4' being the chosen keeper. Joe thought the '4' was the best representation of the original and thus dubbed it the 'reunion pheno'.

In 1992, JJ became friends with the Weasel in central park. Sometime in 1992-93 the Weasel met Chemdog at a Phish show. They traded clones and he brought the Mass. Super Skunk and 91 Chemdog back with him to New York City and renamed the 91 Chem, "Diesel". Sour Diesel and Under Dawg came out of these clones.

Original Chemdog Crosses:
• 'OG Kush' (the original cut) came from an s1 from in a bag of '91 Chemdog in the Lake Tahoe area in 1996.

• 'Sour Diesel' aka ECSD came from an accidental cross of ('91 Chemdog x DNL after the DNL hermed and
seeded the room. The DNL's lineage is Hawaiian/RFK Skunk X NL.) or 91 Chemdog X Mass Super Skunk

• Underdawg came from a cross of '91 Chemdog x (Mass Super Skunk x Sensi's Northern Lights) done by a guy known as ‘weasel’.

• 'chemdog' and friends made several crosses that are held closely by a small group of friends and acquaintances. Among them are:

1. Super Snowdog (Bubble Chem x [Super skunk x Oregon Sno])
2. Giesel (Chemdog D x Mass Super Skunk)
3. Bubble Chem (Chemdog’s Sister x Sag's Bubbleberry)
4. Dawg Daze aka ChemHaze (Chemdog D x ’93 Sensi's NL#5/Haze)
5. Chemdog D x Pbud (another old-school Colorado strain)

JJ-NYC has been working on a Chemdog D-based seed line for several years now. He started by crossing Chemdog D to Sensi's Afghani after thoroughly testing both Sensi's Afghani and Sensi's Hindu Kush to determine which was more stable and would be better for the initial cross. JJ then did a backcross, known as "Double Dawg." Several phenos of this circulate and several people still have beans. JJ's latest work to the line is a second backcross known as "Tres Dawg" which is just starting to get tested. The Tres has produced many keeper strains, Tres Dawg(Chemdog D X Afghani #1 BX2), Star Dawg(Chemdog #4 X Tres Dawg), White Dawg(The White X Tres Dawg), and recently a new 91 Chem cross, Original New York City Diesel(91 Chem X Tres Dawg).

Big Steve has the Grizzly Peak stuff, too. But it’s all a money grab, man. Put the name on it and it will sell, but there won’t be anything special about it. Except maybe for Willie’s stuff.
Got on the bus in ‘79. Last Jerry show was Highgate 1995. Took some time off and then Lockn happened. Been to every one and it rejuvenated me. Looking forward to next year, if we aren’t all gratefully dead from Covid.

As i'm sure you know the place to get the best weed back in the day was from a deadhead. I like the dead but not a head and i wonder what role the band had if any in keeping the weed so good? Personally I'm not interested in the acid, just the amazing weed.
Personally I saved my best bud to take on tour, there was always quantity of quality on shakedown, you definitely didn’t want to bring your twigs! Don’t get me wrong, you could get bunked but I never wanted to be one of those people fucking up their karma. Plus I wanted folks to clean me out quick, not be the one making shakedowns namesake. Legit, I wound up at my first show to score some acid to sell. Little did I know it would change my life forever!

I went to a few festivals, phish etc. I went to the 1st Bonnaroo and literally went to use the Porto-potty 2nd day and saw a mountain of shit poking out of the toilet. Truly was the nastiness thing I ever seen, I almost vomited just opening the door.
Dude speaking of porto potty's i watched like 6 of them get tipped over at the High Gate Vermont show in 1995 people rushing the show lol 200,000 people only like 10,000 tickets something had to give. seen them crash a section of steel fence down as well.
