Speaking of NL#5, they have a cut in OR of #2 that is not like any other NL I ever seen, grew or smoke, but potent. Wonder why you don't hear of that one? And to be honest, I'd buy those genetics just hoping they were potent, and I could tell it had some skunk, RK or not. Also to add, I might be of the opinion of some that the RKS comes from the afghani side, as brother Bodhi mentions in his DLA5 potcast, some of the old acrid affies are so strong, its like an old school skunk, not exactly per se, just super strong smell as such and not far off, it would appear.

I've listened to that potcast. I always love hearing Bodhi speak on genetics.
I think theres something to be said for the timeline of "Skunk" and how it was grown.
The real acrid skunks of the 80s came from plants grown outside in native soil. The closest to indoor grown would've been greenhouses.
I cant quote Bodhi verbatim on this but he had great difficulty stabilizing the plant and terps. The plants varied from grow room to grow room. Maybe one of the keys to bringing those pungent nose burning skunky genetics to the forefront is growing them outside in native soil?
Not trying to turn this into a shit show of organics vs. synthetics or whether or not So-and-So hold the real RKS.
Just some random thoughts to ponder on its elusiveness. ​

Because strains have a skunk smell doesn't mean that those genetics are in there.
You dont seen to know much about genetics.
I would work lines IF there was real skunk in these lines. Problem is there is not!
And if you knew the history of skunk, it is a true breeding varatial!
So I shouldn't have to work very hard!

Sooo...if it's not the skunk terpene profile that determines whether or not there is "Skunk" in the genetics, how can you tell which "real" skunk lines to work? What should we all be looking for? Maybe we all had it, it just smelled like oranges. Mmmmmmm, oranges!

There are theories that skunk is bred into most modern cannabis lines.

Pretty sure you're not a geneticist.

Lots of strains when put into a bag or jar will have a skunk smell.
But that has nothing to do with skunk weed.
That is not a skunk terpene, because there is a skunky smell. That is just what most mature weed smells like when bagged up.
But once pulled out and smelled will not smell like skunk.

Just a question, I just started some Black Poison Skunk from KOS... any idea where his line comes from, and is it possible that some RKS might be hidden away in there. I'm not looking for it there and that was never the intention when I bought the seeds a couple years ago, but wouldn't mind tripping over it. The description says it's an 80's skunk he named Red Russian Skunk.

Yea, I was wondering about that one myself?
Might just be some 80's commercial red hair skunk, but the Russian part?
I think I will message The Rev and see what he says.
Either way should be a good one.

Definitely update us when they are done, kos seems to have some interesting strains.

Don't you all think there was more than 1 RKS strain? People probably made RKS crosses it just wasn't talked about back then. I had some back in the day in VA. I think my source ditched it because he was too scared to grow it. He lived in NC. I'm not even sure if he ever grew it at his house? I think all the times I got it, it was actually grown by his buddy in VA on a huge farm with lots of space. I can maybe find out what it was? Not sure if my buddy is still in touch with the guy that lived in NC.

All 5 above ground and running strong. Be at least 6 months before they're flowered out though. I'll post a little on the way. Also popped 5 Super Silver Cough, and 5 Platinum Huckleberry Cookies from Dynasty, plus a few others. Should be a good seed hunt.

Got confirmation that my order of Stonemason was completed, so when I get them I'll fire them in too. Fingers crossed for that old school Domina.

There had to have been several. That shit was up and down the east coast and into Canada all through the 80s-90s. Every weed grower worth their salt grew good skunk back then and it was all done outside. (for the most part)
I don't know how it ever got so watered down and unstable or why its so elusive (well sorta kinda do) but it remains so. You'd think with all the readily available resources we now have that it wouldn't be so hard to find and grow something that was relatively easy to find and grow 25yrs ago.

From what I've read, breeders and growers have been able to coax some strong skunky terps from old Afghan and Chem/Afghan crosses.

Mine had to be heavy afghan. Super psychedelic head high that made you an idiot, then heavy couch lock. Buddy and I smoked a pinner at a concert. It was too much and both had to sit down 2 songs in until the end of the first set. I couldn’t move if you payed me. The lock was unreal.

I find out last night my buddy lost touch with the source about 5 years ago. He said the guy moved to NH. I may still be able to find out the genetics, but may be a dead end. Supposedly the guy made the strain himself and called it dimension dust. Not sure if that’s true or he just renamed something. Pretty cool strain name regardless.

Its funny you mention NH. The very last time I smoked anything resembling "skunk" was during the rally in Laconia several yrs ago. There wasn't much to be had either. ​

there where lots of crosses made with the real rks back in the day,we stoped growing it for one reason and that's it.YOU HAD to jar it up like moonshin to hall it out of state to sell.There is talk that the real deal is around but if it was I would think it would be sold again to make a man rich.it was good smoke and sold good but you just could not hide the smell and yes it was grown indoors in ky back then also just like outdoor.
