Agreed that Albany cut looks closest to the real ECSD (from SunSimulator, et al.) that I remember growing. S1s that SunSim made also just end up with all sorts of progeny from chem to skunk to whatever else, at least the ones he gave me around 2005. Nature of the unstable random cross that made ECSD.
But all the other cuts of ECSD I've tried in the last 10+ years since losing the real deal in 2007 have been bunk, including that AJ cut, chaco's, etc. They all just seem like phenos of Rez's work. Some better than others, but definitely not a single one the real deal so far. The smell and taste of real ECSD is unmistakable.
That Albany I've not seen before, but bud structure, calyxes, etc. all look very close. Can anyone confirm if it gets pinkish pistils when grown healthily, around week 7-8? Not purple NL-type ones, but pinkish hue before they brown. And they should leaf curl with the trichs.
Pardon just the little lower bud shot, I'll dig for a real cola pic sometime... Edit... included a leaf profile I had taken also (veg, gets thinner in flower of course, but common to just have 5 fingers), and an old cola shot from SunSim
