Old School Skunk, who's found it???

[canadiantoker420]

How did those early queens turn out, potency wise?

Oh shiiit, don’t get those like 1/4 of em hermied on me

 

[BLUEPRINT420]

U

Well then, you've found a skunk #1 nobody else has found.

It's ALL fruity crap now with maybe a hint of "skunk". Anybody who smoked the real deal rks back in the day and has tried ANYTHING "skunk" the last 20 years knows its gone.

U sure bout that?

 

[canadiantoker420]

Thanks! Good to know.
I'm in Alaska - strictly indoors here.
Im moving down south and want to do some breeding with early strains to get some of my long flowering varieties to finish earlier outdoors.
I would like there to be some potency and zero ruderalis in the strains I choose.

Don’t get those mr.nice seeds they hermied I just remembered, I had over 4 Produce a lot of seed that year. I had to pull 2 was males.. ever since that order from attitude seed bank I went with clone only skunky freezeland n R2s n purple kush

Try sum feminised seeds if I were you unless u want to keep a male to breed with or just feel like taking a chance usually u get all females in regular packs if ur a good grower .. I only had those herm ones that year and since then I’ve had maybe 2 more males from like 15 cracked regulars so.. it’s a flip of the coin what ur gonna get I guess

Which u can probly find if u got a full wallet and enjoy trying new “skunk” crosses through nirvana,sensi,n solid Dutch breeders

Nirvana has a Skunk # 1 that is fairly new on their webpage (different than their super skunk, which is sweet). Claims to smell like skunk spray with Afghani, Columbian and Mexican in its genetics. Wonder if some of the original "smelly" genetics are still in some of the phenos. I know one grower who is planning on trying it but it sounds too easy to be the real deal.

Problem with European breeders is most of them have never smelled a skunk.
Hard to decribe something you've never encountered.

Certain seeds labeled as “skunk” can be pheno hunted and odd time u can find that craziness, But that old school funk is hard to find

I’m doing sum easy sativa x skunk#1s outdoor this year I got as freebies

Problem with skunks is they been crossed with everything it’s not 1976 anymore

Day 24 flower ..two 600w HPS in 5x5 , the Barney’s strains gorilla zkittlez and 8ball kush sprouted February 25th an the 3 blue cheese a week later (30 days from seed then bloomed)

I have 2 different skunk versions running right now. This one is from old seeds I got from sam skunkman many years ago, it's not roadkill by any means, more on the sweeter side, until it's ripe, then it changes to more of the skunk profile I remember. Definitely do not want a whole tent/grow of this or you would have the cops on your doorstep pretty quickly!


And this one is from a friend in Holland so also a Dutch skunk. Has a totally different smell, more ammonia but with almost a menthol hint in there too.

Strayfox just released some Michigan Skunk crosses.. came from an old dairy farmer I think.. I wonder if it's the same thing?

The Michigan skunk aka RKS, came from a dairy farmer up by Drummond island. His brother the beef farmer is from Redridge.

They both were into strong smelling skunks and both into cattle growing up. One was into beef, the other into dairy. There was a falling out back in the 70’s or 80’s with this skunk line. Not sure what the story is.

Very little pine aromas come through depending on what you cross it with. By itself, grown outdoors, it’s 100% pure skunk.

The male I’m using is a little testy in hybrids, but it’s definitely opening up a window to the skunk that everyone is chasing from the early 80’s.. IMO, it’s an old afghani and or a cross with Northern lights in the mix.

I would like to do a back cross of an old BCSC Northern lights #5 to open up a window to find more skunks like the dairy farmer cut..

FYI, @skunktek found a beautiful stinker in the new Afghani Black Skunk (80’s Black afghani / Michigan skunk) tester that he’s sharing with meangene. Hope that helps some. I know how sensitive some growers are to skunk lines.

Hope everyone is safe and healthy at these crazy times.

Thanks
Stray

Awesome pictures.. I found that 99% of Sam’s Skunk #1 crosses were sweet. Like breeder Steve’s sweet skunk. I’ve ran through hundreds of skunk #1 f2’s, all of them were super fire but sweet skunk. Not the strong skunk spray aroma that everyone is after.

I’d like to see more people pop their old northern lights or afghani lines. Remember, you sit on them for to long like baseball cards, they will just be a pack with a name, fun memories and old white seeds.

Cheers legend, means a lot coming from you mate

I've been keen to get a hold of your Michigan skunk, have only heard good things about it!

I agree with sams skunk line, a lot of sweetness in there for sure. I'm hoping nature farms skunk starts to bring in some dankness to!

Also going to be popping these in 2 rounds time....seems we are on the same page

How do I get a cut or cross of that stank?

Exactly... BlueSkies "someone" comes to mind here! Hahaha..

My 1989 Nevilles Super Skunk is getting VERY stanky on the stem rubs... Smells just like skunk. I have some old school sensi super skunk growing right beside it as well as AKBBs SS x Sk#1... they're not nearly as skunky as the Nevilles... Everything except the 89 Neville Skunk has a lemony/citrus skunk to it.

Another thing is that the Nevilles Skunk reminds me a whole lot of the old Kentucky "roadkill" Skunk so far in terms of structure, color, etc, just not as vigorous! I have seen a lot of people claim that roadkill terps come from broad leafed indicas, and although maybe that's true in their case or experience, its definitely not in mine! I have seen many stanky broad leaf indica Afghanis throughout my life, but never seen skunk spray terps come out of them (although I do see its place as a precursor with its rancid varietals). Definitely some Afghani Indica in there! True skunkspray skunk, such as the Kentucky Skunk has narrow sativa leaves, they get narrower as the plant grows it seems. The color is a light "neon/mint" green in the leaves sometimes almost yellow (the Kentucky Skunk will always start yellowing out right before she finishes).

Most people claim roadkill has very dark broad leaves, that's not the case in my experience... Most of the Skunks I've seen like this have more of that armpit/body odor type stench to it, which is nice too! The buds on the Kentucky Skunk will take on very dark colored hues while she finishes, almost a purplish green, but not purple like you usually see in today's strains... it's different and I wouldn't even consider it purple but close. The flowers are neon green up until 2 weeks prior to finishing, then those dark hues come into play, leaving the flowers with neon green streaks... purple hues.

Outdoors she will finish around the very end of October, Halloween. I have ran it into the second week of November with no issues, the effects become very stoney if you take her past Halloween. Maybe one day, I'll be able to have her back and share some pics with you guys... I'm working on it, not in a big hurry. It will come back when the time is right, shes not going anywhere... I dont think.


Edit: Another thing, the Ky Skunk does not have those insanely serrated sawtooth leaves that everyone these days claim is "real skunk". They're a little more "saw tooth" like than normal but nothing crazy. I wish I could remember if she had double serrations, but I honestly dont recall.

Hey what ever happened with your Kentucky Roadkill project? I haven’t tuned in in a while

I was going to pop some AKBB ss/sk1 next. It’s a little disappointing to hear it’s citrusy

That's Heime Cheba aka Dirty Jim.
AK Beanbrains told me that after Bob Hemphill, Dirty Jim has one of the most extensive collections of "Old School Genetics".

James Schenk runs alaska cannabis cache as far as I know.
I grew out 20 of their ‘86RKS’ and theybwere all fruity purple mids unfortunately.
Just buy a clone of GMO and call it a day. Very difficult to find anything stinkier than GMO.

heres a pic of the 86rks
