Has anyone tried lowering their pH to bring out the skunky Terps? I remember hearing heime mentioning that in his last potcast. He might have said raise the pH but I'm not sure now, I'm going to have to re-listen to it.

I got his shoreline BX going right now. I think the skunk I’m looking for is gonna be different. I’m from AZ and all of the bud growing up came from Mexico. We used to get brick weed all year long. 15 mins from Mexico. Every year though since I was like 12 we get this bud in December called “Christmas Bud”. It was so skunky, my buddy smoked a joint of it across the field at school and the cops got called. So I’m thinking it’s some Mexican Landrace. Every variety we were all getting is probably a little different. Terrior does effect terp profiles as well as whatever soil they were using. All I know is you’d get a zip for 40$ and it would be main colas of 2 15 gram buds. Different shades of green but usually light. Covered in red hairs. Looks like your photo kinda. Anybody else heard of “Christmas Bud” and got more detail?

yes son. this was the way, every year. those buds were as good as some of the top i get now...smashed almost perfectly flat from few seeds, yes, but was fire and had crystals on it. i even got bubblegum and blueberry like this around 2001 to 2002. sativas, indicas, everything. i had a red one and i grew out the seeds. back then the grow went for 1500/qp. i don't think they were all land races, finished in about 8 weeks.

Super Skunk was not road kill skunk either. nevil even said it has sweet fruity to it like most cannabis does.

the mass super skunk that was supposed to be close to rks was found in a F2 run from the original release of super skunk.

also Indian Landrace Exchange just release a selection of (Hopar Valley Selection #2) that is supposed to be the stinkiest female they have came across in all there landrace hunting. may not be rks but it must mean something if they are going to say its the loudest. got a pack on the way im going to run next.

True but nevil did say certain phenos of the old school super skunk from the early runs was what people are looking for as well ie rks so its worth keeping that in mind as well bud but it would need to be a line made from early stock and selected towards that to still be that of course

O hell yes! I was just asking thinking that same exact thought. I cannot find 80s skunk anywhere. Tried several “skunk” labeled shit that was nowhere NEAR the real skunk of the 80s. REAL skunk stinks so bad Like a skunk, tastes like a skunk and blows your mind! “East coast, west coast, lemon?skunk? PUHLEASE! They’re joking right? Anyone ever locate the real deal PLEASE let me know!

What is funny is that I grew up smoking only Mexican import weed in Texas in the early 90's and every time I open up the jar of Shoreline OG, it reminds me of those days.

I also have a Shoreline BX2 outside being tested this year.

AK Bean Brains has an 80s Skunk that's not skunk #1. It was a freebie, not sure if it made the final cut, it's been a while. I didn't find the ones I ran particularly skunky, more burnt rubber nose, but they were nice plants with great structure. Ran his 80s Skunk Romulan and that was a real gem, but not Skunk spray at all.

Add a heap of lime and see?

I used to think flavor was a forbidden topic. But listening to that podcast amongst it's clear that breeding Cannabis is a low effort scene. Guy was confused about sulfur/thiols. But has an opinion on skunk? Nope. Come back when you mix your own soil at least.. Another breeder on the black list.

"Sulfur? Eh, whatever, it's just Marijuana. Skunk comes from myrcene. Theeyalls and aldehuds are silly. Take my sommelier class yall" - the west coast weed legends you always thought had a clue

The skunk I remember definitely had acrid rubbery notes, like a rubber band aftertaste. I get flashbacks when I open a bag of elastics. But it was more in the aftertaste I remember, the smell was just skunk and weed smell, I guess that would be myrcene.
