You may have heard this before, from me,,,,,, and will make a long story as short as possible.

My buddy played in a band, Appalachian Mainline, in the early 70s-78. They opened for James Gang, in Charleston Wv, in 1972. He met a guy named William Keith "Noodles" Hays. He was from Meigs County, Ohio, and was the Originator of Meigs County Gold, and of which, Willie Nelson was a frequent visitor, to his farm.

In the 70s, Meigs was known as the Humboldt County, of the east. Its also not far, from Athens/Ohio University, which has held the record for being voted the biggest party school, in the USA. Its probably the coolest place, in Ohio.
Noodles invited my buddy, to his farm. Noodles was super old school. He would be 80 years old, and had been collecting seeds at that time, since the 60s.
He gave my buddy, the first Indica seeds, we had ever seen, and that was in spring, of 73. Also, I never met Noodles.
In 1978, he gave my buddy the first Skunk, we had ever heard of, and he grew both the Indica, and the Skunk, until 1984, when he got ratted out, and lost both of the genetics.

Noodles told him that the origins, at least on one side, was Kerela. And the other, was an unnamed Indica.

And think of this. Consider Meigs county, especially then, was in the middle, of fucking nowhere. As of now, its still only a village, and has less than 700 residents. So how many did it have in the 60s, and 70s??
He was from Racine.

But, how many hillbillys, in the middle of nowhere, ever heard of Kerela, in by 1978, and before?. Not many. And he had already been growing it. Noodles also had a greenhouse. He got ratted out, in the late 90s, and did 8 years federal.
Noodles Son, is a member here, but never comes here.



Noodles passed in 2020, at St Marys Medical Center, in Huntington, Wv

Yeah back in those days they were using skunk as just a way of refering to some of the first indiaca x sativa hybrids in the illegal growing world. Its why there were many diffrent things being called skunk all over the usa and other places in the 60s 70s and early 80s.

Ive heard of the name noodles before, but my memory isnt as great as it once was.

According to sam skunkman lore, the skunk was not in the afghan but in the columbian. The afghan was used to shorten flowering and tame the smell. I have found very skunky afghans in veg and early harvest and drying, but the smell goes away after cure and ends up hashy. Whereas I have found columbian red carried skunk into the jar for months, but not loud unless you put it in your pocket or hot car. I think the reason it is lost is people aren't running enough columbians in this hunt. They seem to think it is in the afghan side. Maybe the rubber is, but the skunk very likely comes from a sativa side. Perhaps the afghan just enhanced the sharp skunk recessive in the old columbians. Also worth noting that the some columbian had lebanese and hash plants introduced by parke davis way back when.

Where u read this cos everything i read from sam he says it was the mazari ? Not that i trust him with it i take what he says with a pinch of salt i honestly think its the mexi x ghani combo that brings the funk for the most part

Yeah, I don't know about Colombian for skunk... I too think it's Mexi Afghan or just straight Mexi honestly... But not a pure Mexican, something that probably would have Central Asian genes in it, just coming from Mexico. I've had several Colombians, including two direct from a guy in Colombia, and the common smells seem to go more floral and lime.
