If it came from sour diesel it is 50% sour diesel at the least as you have no idea where the pollen came from. So just call it a sour diesel cross.
Bagseeds often are the result of hermies, this is especially true if you only find one or two seeds in an Oz. These seeds will come from plants that look like true females but have just a few male flowers here and there that are almost impossible to find.
Only time will tell if your plants are affected. I'm also of the opinion that some hermies are sterile and wont produce seed despite the presence of male flowers, If any one else has noticed this I'd like to hear about it.
In short, even if some of them do show a couple of male flowers during flowering, don't just rip them out automatically, this is your first grow I think and the experience you gain will be well worth whatever harvest you get even if it does have a few seeds.

This is true in some cases. There's also a nutrient solution called purple maxx which is supposed to render hermie flowers sterile as well as do a few other things.

Learning to love life by living through loss and mistakes
Lessons learned then gradually surfacing
Letting go, stripping naked to scream
I am not perfect, nor do I strive to be
I am alive in this world of face-first falls and public breakdowns
I'm a retarded, disfigured clown
Dying to be heard for the simple art of letting this heavy wall finally fall
I'm an equal being of no race or color
A hallucination if you will
Sneaking into the lives of strangers and letting them fall apart
To a new rhythm, just to feel better

I bought some sour diesel recently..Well a few months ago, that had seeds in it as well. That's what my plants are.

You'll be able to tell it's sour diesel when those big buds are stinking your whole house up

My friend just did a grow with a 250 watt hps lamp and a single bag seed. He ended up with a 1/2 ounce of really really good weed which surprised all of us. Like the weed was good enough that it would of cost extra if he had bought it. The buds were big and covered with crystals and the smell was indescribable. Yeah I know it's a fluke since it was his first grow as well but I thought my story might encourage you.

it's been a while, but only because i didn't want to update the log until my flower box is stable. i got the 400w super hps with an air cooled reflector but since it's been extremely hot here i can't use it without getting around 93ºF. so i am back with the CFLs.
some of the earlier original 4 plants are starting to show some trichome formation and the LST'd plant that was unsexed turned out to be a girl. did some pruning, pinching and lst on most of the plants except for the short bushy one i topped a while ago.
i added to the flower box 2 sourdiesel bastard seedlings (bagseed) and 1 leda uno seedling and 1 bahia black head seedling(12/12 from seed).
in veg i have 4 of bahia black heads and 4 more leda unos, 2 thaitanic clones, 1 clone from a sativa looking girl of mine and 2 more weak sour diesel bagseeds
i am looking forward for a sample bud in maybe 3-4 weeks? from the pics, how soon do you think i try a sample?
leda uno & bahia blackhead or in portuguese "cabeca de nego"
05/19
05/19
05/19 short topped plant, indica looking
05/19 flower hut
i'm still trying to figure a way to deal with the heat so i can finish them with the hps, opinions welcome!
peace

I would avoid sampling honestly until you either really close to harvest, or just pick off some popcorn from the harvest and quick dry it.
Immature buds a.) taste like shit b.) don't really get you that high. I would really only do it early if you had budsites that just aren't getting enough light and won't pack on much weight. In that case i'd say id take sample around 40-45 days into flowering. It'll give you an OK idea of how things are going to turn out, however, since the trich's are probably going to be mostly clear the high may be significantly different when you let them mature.

when do you start counting flowering days?
-when you switch to 12/12?
-when you see preflowers?
they are at day 32 of 12/12.

Usually i start the count from the day i flip the lights to 12/12. Some people start the count when they first see flowers (actual buds, not preflowers). While using the calendar is ok to gauge remaining time, you're better off paying attention to the plant. Just because the breeder lists the flowering period as 55-60 days doesn't mean you'll get the pheno that may have produced those results. Especially if you end up with a more sativa dominant pheno (if growing a hybrid). In the case of the diesel, that's a sativa dominant strain, my NYCD went 12 weeks and i think they could have use two more.

i agree that the plant should tell me when to harvest opposed to a calendar. now, would the size of plants and buds make the flowering period slightly shorter?

nope, but a short plant will result in smaller buds (compared to a larger plant at least).

day 38:
on some plants, few pistils are starting to turn orange/amber, is this a sign that harvest is coming in a few weeks?

Is a 16 year old guy having sex w/a 16 year old girl a pedophile?
If not, then how is a 30 year old considered a pedophile for doing the same thing?
I think y'all need to look up the definition for pedophile.
