Man, I can relate to the age. I was born mid-fifties. I’m pretty old, I was in college in the early seventies. I was just thinking of the old days and how it’s hard to compare just about any weed in appearance from back then with weed today. For me it would be, because most weed back in the early seventies and before came in bricked up. Some tightly bricked, like the dirtweed Mexican and at times the others too. Regardless of what some might say, homegrown of any kind was scarce. In the part of the South I was in, only a few kinds of different weed was around. All came from out of the area. Brickweed Mexican, Acapulco Gold, Jamaican, Redbud Colombian, all to some degree came compressed up. The Jamaican was fluffy, pulled apart easily. All had stems, some really bad (Brickweed Mexican). And quit honestly, I’m pretty sure this was about it until 1972, 73. Then came more “homegrown” USA bud. Lots of supposed Hawaiian too. (College years, good times!). But the homegrown, which before hadn’t been much, got good quick. Prior to that time most all homegrown was pretty crappy. But around 1975 or so the Hawaiian, (possible just good homegrown) was around for awhile. By then most weed looked much better than in 1970 or so. Five years, everything changed. Different weed, different strains, became more accessible. As far as skunk. It was around here with the Mexican, Colombian, etc. from what I can remember. And maybe this part is important. High grade Mexican, and the weed we called Skunk, was the first weed I ever saw not compressed. Then Hawaiian, lol. Probably just excellent homegrown with a good marketing plan. (I was in a small town). Everything came through Florida, or Mexico to start with. Everything mostly compressed.
Then came skunk I guess, and Hawaiian. The Hawaiian was real sweet. Was the skunk real, then or now, who knows? I’m smiling, memories are sometimes good to have, but not always spot on correct. And today is also today. Can’t live in the past. So I’ve got a few packs of Dominion, Nature Farm, and I even snagged some Shoreline. I’ll pheno hunt’em all, one female at a time. Who knows, could’ve been Shoreline I was smoking? Somewhere, sometime?
I know this thread is about Nature Farm and skunk in general. I guess I’m sorta looking for the skunk, but also for a memory. Of smoking that weed that would take me back, like when it first started. That’s most likely an impossible hunt, right. But dang I like trying. Skunk or not, it’s what I remember.
Found some real good weed over the years. Hey, I’m real good with that. Really don’t know why Skunk seems to be now just a little more important. Who knows? But it is.
