i with you bud , i want some new shit thats ols school. i need the skunkyest they have ....the one that your carbon filter looks at and cries. i used to run a 100lb carbon filter and it only lasted 6 months , now i use a girl scrubber and you smell nothing ....the weed is bunk. imo
I am good on the roadkill terps, luckily we have the old KY RKS here. It is getting very scarce and it is not "all over the bluegrass state and North Eastern TN" like it once was. The same old commercial growers around today are mostly the same ones that were growing, back in the day. No one really fools with it much anymore due to newer hybrids and other flavors that folks around here are after, it is not seeked out when you actually have it locally as it is when ya don't. Yes, we are actually used to that flavor. But it started dying away from the commercial outdoor scene around 2012, most people honestly stopped growing it due to its extreme odor, it was/is a LEO magnet 100%... There is absolutely no carbon filter on the planet to contain the pungency it releases, completely. The last 2 weeks of flower, Jesus... it reeks like you would never believe!
Funny thing is lol.... Now that all the people got the newer, tasty, trendy hype type hybrids, guess what? I am hearing more and more people around here wishing it was abundant like it once was. But here's the thing... I personally know ONE old school commercial grower (not so much anymore though due to poor health), that still has the cuts and the beans... Those who chose to grow it indoors back in the day, knew right off the bat they were risking their freedom, it was like playing Russian roulette. You either won, or you lost and your chances were always low unless you had a very secluded, sophisticated setup. This old man never grew it indoors, he does house his cuttings and mothers indoors, he played it smart, but he supplied a lot of those who did run indoor ops with it. Point is, very few people still have it currently and the only time you will ever really see it is after outdoor harvest season (between November and Feburary). I was never one of those people that got tired of the Skunk, I had been enthused with it ever since started getting into growing as a teenager 18 years ago. Its absolutely my favorite strain and always will hold a special place in my heart. The stone is to die for, heavy punch right in the face and eyes, you can actually feel it crawl and tingle down the neck and into the back and chest... Very uplifting but chink eye punch, that will get your eyes redder than any other strain on the planet. The taste is like the smell, straight fleshy skunk spray that will sting your nose and burn the eyes...
It had always been more of an outdoor runner around here, it is suited perfectly for the outdoors, however it does not finish too early. I have actually ran it into the first week in October. Resistance to mold is excellent, insects do not care for it either. Hollow stems and stalks yet very hardy on the outside of the stems. Really tough plants that can take a damn beating...
One thing I would like to note, is that I see a lot of people on search of a roadkill pheno looking for skunk on a stem rub... Honestly the roadkill skunk we have does not have that skunk spray smell on a stem rub. So maybe so many people should not call a seed hunt off due to that. It actually has a kinda spicy, fruity, light skunky citric type stem run nose hit. But it's funny because there is absolutely ZERO citrus odor in the flower, no sweetness period. It's exactly what you would think roadkill skunk smells like. Actually it's more like just straight skunk spray... Exactly like you are driving down the backroads on a hot humid summer night and you drive through a skunk orgy. Lol. For real it's like getting sprayed right in the face by a skunk, don't ever doubt it.
I have heard a few people around here say they can sorta pick up a burning wire type smell in the background, but its roadkill 100%. I would love to continue explaining it but this is not a road kill thread and i most definitely do not want it to turn into one... There is thread started a while back by me called "The future holds bright light", that's where we can talk roadkill. Tells the story as well why my skunk project got all fucked up and I am having to restart with it. I have not even got the seeds back yet, hoping by the end of this month I'll have them again. But it will be soon.
Now, onto the old school strains and old afghanis...
Does anyone know where I can find the old school Four Way? That was a killer we ran around here back in late 90s/early 2ks. Amazing producer and killed it outdoors.
And what about this place linked through the Reeferman seeds site? Called "Old School Breeders Association " OSBA I believe is what it's called. Is reeferman legit? Don't know much about him but offers very nice landrace and crosses on his old school selections.
