More looking for terps smell and taste and buzz of course. I would like to find out info on some strains that are skunky and taste like that the whole way thru the joint.

I know as of now anyway there isn't any of that true skunk weed from back in the late 70's early 80's. Hopefully someday before I kick the bucket

I've heard
Those guys downing autos like it's just impossible to find strong ones haven't grown any of the good ones out recently. Autos have made a Renaissance of sorts over the last couple years. It's just about like growing anything else from seed anymore. It's up to phenotypes. Sure, you can find that photo pheno that you really like and keep cloning it. But, I have seen and grown myself some phenomenal autos that are as potent as about anything I've smoked in my 52 years. I agree that it's nigh impossible to find that old school Skunk and Christmas Tree and others that I remember so fondly. I think that part of the reason that alot of autos don't have a strong smell is that those traits were bred out over the years in autos and photos for the underground stealth grows. The breeders are working hard to recapture those terms now that legalization has happened in so many places. But, people saying that autos are weak just because they're autos are... mistaken. I have grown a bunch of Mephisto plants that were better than most of the photo stuff around here. I have 1 friend who has been growing photos for years. He gets seeds from Sensi and Humboldt. He's yet to show me anything better than my last CDLC. I know that photos will still pheno out more potent stuff in the right hands but the gap is closing. You can grow great autos and you can get harvests in half the time.

I've heard a lot of people on these forums that all talk about cdlc. Guaranteed my next run will have it.

It's a great choice. Stable. Big frosty buds with an almost fuel chem taste. I've grown it a few times and never been disappointed. Mephisto pretty well started the Auto Renaissance commercially. Folks like Daz from Night Owl and Ben from Speedrun have continued the work. These folks do the hard work. They take a stable auto and cross it with a prized photo strain. They grow it a few generations and backdrops it to the photo again and repeat. Daz has talked about backcrossing to photo like 5 times then grow out and oheno hunt several generations before releasing. They say that it takes 5 years to lock down an autoflower line. The things are just user friendly for me. I love good weed whether auto or photo. I'm hoping to find a great photo pheno and keep cloning. But, it's nice to be able to go sprout to harvest in 65-70 days when needed.
