What makes a strain "sour" and others.

"Sour" is an adjective, not a brand name. If the terpene profile of any strain produces a sour smell or taste, people are fully justified in using this descriptive word in the name.
I have no idea what you're talking about. All I said is I have had the sour diesel clone that was passed to Rez that he bred with. I've never grown his seeds and have no loyalties to breeders. 99% of my strains are clone only, or bred by friends.
I was just explaining where your "reason for the season" terpenes come from homie. That is what this thread is about correct?
I WAS on the brink of ordering seeds with Cheese or Haze, or maybe Trainwreck in the name thinking I wanted a sativa dominated hybrid to grow out, and at $20-50 for one fucking seed I thought maybe I'd be getting just that. But fuck it. EVERYBODY has some differing opinion on names. I have no idea what I might be ordering really. I'll just wait for the shit to settle and be happy with the strains I got. Thanks for helping me make my mind up. 
Nice to see that
All you said is that people sometimes get obsessed with names and clones, and in their obsession they call "assholes" other people who don't share their cult. That wasn't really the topic of this thread

No, not obsessed with. There is a difference between an individual being obsessed with a strain, and the widespread popularity of sour diesel and chemdawg and the effect that this particular gene line has had on the world wide cannabis scene for the last 10 years.
Because of this impact, people slap sour on any strain looking to capitalize on the popularity of sour d, thus making them an asshole. I stand by my statement.
I love the two different quotes out of context too.. Classy. Luckily people don't have to look far to see what goes where you put all the ......

The reason for the thread was to derive where the "sour" in "Sour ______" comes from. Turns out it's terpenes. Smell and taste. Not whether or not your favorite strain is in the genetics or not.

Cheese is one of my favorites. Blue Cheese being near the top. If you are looking for sativa dominated hybrids, Subcool carries some great gear. Good luck!
Rez really isn't as widespread or popular outside of this community than you might think. Medical users often have no idea who the fuck Rez is, nor do they care. You are aware that the line came from bagseed? Come on. People "slap on" sour to describe a terpene profile (as I learned from this thread, and you should have, too). I don't think the "impact" Rez has supposedly made is as big as you seem to think it is, and that is why you are being accused of obsession. Then again, most folks who seek to capitalize on marijuana in general, is an asshole. That includes people who take bagseed and sell it for 20$ per seed.
Take it how you want, but I happen to think your opinion is entirely mislead.

What's up with the horrible misinformation here guys?? Where do you get your info? Now, unless BOG is a liar, you are both full of it. Sour bubble has sour notes in many phenos and is what BOG is breeding the strain for...not that hard to find.
His methods and breeding are fairly well documented. You really think OG kush or bubba kush has real hindu kush genetics in it? Maybe, but where is that documented?

Does the poster who thumbed down my post want to explain why I am wrong? Or is that just a childish anonymous retaliatory response?
Are you missing the point where I said I've never grown Rez beans? Just cause you live under a rock and don't know who he is, doesn't mean the rest of the world doesn't. Sour diesel was the 2006 high times strain of the year. There are hundreds of thousands of magazines circulating around the world with articles about Rez and sour diesel.
Like I said' I've never grown his seeds, and i personally don't even like him. I brought his name up to illustrate that I have the same clone (which came from bagseed from a chem line run) that he was passed and bred with.
I already acknowledged that terpenes are the answer, and have explained multiple times that mostly the terpene profile you are talking about stems from the genetics encoded into the chem/sour d line. So I don't know what more you want except to continue to argue with me and give me negative ratings for speaking the truth too precisely for you to understand.

I see I was a little off base about the genetics of Sour Bubble, but I stand by the rest.
Sour Bubble was derived from BOGBubble as I later found out for anyone that was interested.
I just took a peek in my tent, and I think I've got one of the sourest strains ever, it's made up of OG, Haze and Sour Diesel and reeks to holy hell and makes you mouth water like crazy when you smoke it.
Oh and for the record, sour diesel is one of my least favorite strains to smoke. So there goes your theory that I'm defending my favorite strain. You can search all of my posts, this will be the first thread I'm defending it in. Other than smell and taste, there's not many redeeming qualities. I'll take strawberry cough 10/10 times over sour diesel.
So I don't like sour d, and I don't like Rez as a person, seems your clever points you thought you had have vanished.

His sour bubble doesn't have any sour diesel in it either. BOG himself says its his version of "bubba kush". I know BOG eludes to the fact that SB is a very special pheno of bubblegum, but he has also said its bg x afgh kush (from white label??)
I'm growing some strait up SD (from REZ genes) as well as Bog's SB crossed to it. The SB x SD is a bit funkier than the IBL.

Interesting question--which came 1st, Sour Diesel or Sour Bubble? Sour Bubble is a 3x backcross of BogBubble, BOG's flagship/original strain. BobBubble came from a pack of White Label Bubblegum, which was an unknown Indiana bubblegum strain crossed to Serious Seeds Bubblegum. Given the hybrid bubblegum heritage of Sour Bubble, it wouldn't be a stretch to imagine that BOG borrowed the name from the Bazooka Bubble Gum company and not Rez. I'm just sayin'.

sour bubble is a dead ringer for bubba kush. Look around the forums, lots of people in agreement with that statement.
Then he crosses sour bubble and starts calling it kush .. blue kush, sour strawberry kush .. that seals the deal for me.

nothing in a name anymore because they are just used to market strains, rarely do you see the actual lineage.
hopefully chimeras dna project can give us a bit more to work with other than breeders claims posted on message boards.

Yeah of course I am aware of that and am obviously not debating that.
But let me remind you of your statement, saying "sourbubble = bubba kush" is well, kind of self explanatory... how else is someone supposed to interpret that? It's not like there's never been people claiming SB is BK or BK is SB... get me? "Look around the forums"... don't patronize, I've been here longer than you have.
