I am so glad the bullcrap isn't true. alot of lies floating around the net about samtheskunkman. At least this should put to rest the crap about him snitching to get off, it was lack of evidence!! If only i would have been so lucky, how frigging funny - because they needed to get to the donuts they couldn't prosecute one of their biggest busts ever, HAHAHa
I love skunk#1 as it was the first high grade weed I ever smoked and I always thought there would be an awesome story behind how it came to be and it truly is

In the gene pool, I wonder what made the difference between the original Skunk and Skunk #1?
Of coarse it was named Skunk for a reason as it honestly did have a undeniable strong
pungent true Skunk odor that was adored by many in Los Angeles starting around '79 and disappeared
into complete and total oblivion about '85. As a matter of fact during this period all around L.A. and the S.F.V. the strain was not once
referred to as Skunk #1 by smokers. Instead we just simply called it Skunk! Never referred to as Skunk #1 until about Mid-'86 into '87
and to this day.
I have sampled quite a few varieties of straight Skunk #1 from Mid '86 to now and not 1 of those varieties held true to the name
and did not have that no mistaken distinct true Skunk smell. Nevertheless the Skunk #1 nowadays is in a class by itself and all the other strains
that contain Skunk #1 are undeniably stellar no doubt.

if some journalist put together lots of interviews and stories from the early days of seed breeding and strain hunting
into a book....
IT WOULD BE FANTASTIC!

This is merely my humble opinion but when it comes right down to it,... It's all skunk2 me. Even the pure quote end quote landraces that are available online now orange really pure landraces they are heirloom at best. Which is still really great. I've grown many strains different types of skunk OG Kush, cheapass seeds, the most expensive seed you can get, and I would bet $5 that if you got a 15 pack Mr Nice Dreamtime... You could probably with enough time and enough plans you can probably breed all the skunks, although geez, and even a lot of the new Colorado / of California style Poli Poli Poli hybrids. 15 pack of Dreamtime costs $45. Growing and breeding is just like anything else you get out of it what you put into it periods and if you have your space, you're gross space that is if you have it dial in, and you have genetics like I spoke of above, or anything similar Afghan, Northern Lights, skunk number one, and haze, you could pull just about any variety that you want. I do love hearing the stories that. For me it's a medical thing it has been for many years now, and there are people out there that are going to try and capitalize and make as much money as they can then I guess that's fine it's a free country but we need to be taken care of each other. Because I can see the future on this prohibition of marijuana being lifted it sounds great yeah, but don't be surprised if the government lets us do all the work finding these 20 + THC variety chemotypes or even be on that and then swooping down with a big scoop lol I couldn't think of any other word a big genetic magnet basically and take it all away from us. Hopefully that doesn't happen my favorite cross that I've done recently was strawberry coffee with og camp Ross to a king Louis email my wife and I call it marshmallow Kush or creamy Kush or the cream but I just finished backcrossing that to the King Louie mom to try. Bump up the OG in it it's a great indica ah, smells just like a fresh opened can of Kona coffee. Also I don't recommend smoking it before you get online to reply to a post on this website as I have demonstrated I'm sure even when I go back to read it I will become bored of it and not even finish it but for those who do, good luck god bless keep growing. And for anybody wanting to criticize my post about getting off track I already know. Haters gonna hate somewhere else.

Well, I'm glad you set the story straight, because I remember the 70s, very foggy, but I remember growing up in the East San Francisco Bay area where the San Joaquin Met the Sacramento river and fed into the bay. It was about 1976, maybe 77, We had got a hold of some seeds and planted them at the abandon house across the street. There was a faucet right in the backyard. They grew tall and lanky and pretty. We chopped em' down, dried em' and smoked em'....worst f'n headache! The shit smelled like hay and we wanted Skunk-weed. We had smoked it once and were told that unless we had an ass-load of money, like $50, we had better grow it ourselves. Well, There was no Jorge or Ed or anything else available to us. Even if somebody had a High Times ( they were rare) There was nothing in them but B.S. So we headed down the street to Joe's house. He was almost 17. He had a car, a girlfriend, and and was the bastion of all knowledge; especially weed stuff. Joe sat us down and set us straight. "If you want skunk weed you gotta plant it way out by the river where skunks could spray it" Well, we started our next crop that spring in front of the power plant in cosmetic shrubs the size of 7-8 foot-ball fields where we played army. There were automatic sprinklers and those bushes were full of skunks. We planted about 300 seeds .My mom was pissed for a month when she couldn't find that large box of Miracle Grow. I'll betcha know what happened next..... Actually dicked the whole thing off... forgot about em, we were idiots. When we did finally slide through the fence, it was a feeling like no other. We could smell the skunk. Joe was right! This shit was skunky. This didn't look anything like the weed we had been smoking,Some of it was full of seeds and but bright green, but some of it had no seeds. Joe explained that that type of weed was called "Sesameian" We used that spot for several more seasons and finally figured out the boy girl thing. However, I think I'm gonna call O'l Joe and give him a ration of shit for B.S'n me! True Story. (mostly true anyway)
