The Skunky Dunk farm

[PlumberSoCal]

Noted. Happy they won't be taller, I have a 4 foot fence. Please don't tell me they are super smelly like roadkill.

Ummm... they smell good. Yeah, they smell. They all smell, nore or less but it is a plesent smell

 

[SkunkyDunk]

We'll, 4" of snow right now!

 

[SkunkyDunk]

Ok I have a question, do any of you own a par or quantum par light meter?

 

[SkunkyDunk]

?

 

[SkunkyDunk]

Ok this is where I'm at.
I've got 5 of the Vagos skunk,
4 Bruce Banner and,
3 Noble Skunk.
Second round of germination, I didn't make it home in time to water the first batch of 12 and lost 9.
The 3 larger ones are those survivors.
They are 6 days older.
I got 95% germination even from the 2 year old NS!
Anyhow, this is our next generation.

 

[SkunkyDunk]

They are growing

Howdy all, I've been creeping around here for awhile and finally registered recently.
So,,,, im not a new grower by any stretch, been doin it since the early 70's in Cali.
Any of you old guys (gals) remember growing under T12's?
Anyhow, I started a thread in the wrong sub forum about my grow and want to begin here now even though I'm 5 weeks into my Skunk #1 grow.
I really love some of the old Mexican we used to get when it was good and then in the 80's when the first Skunks started to show up from domestic farmers, oh it was so good.
I do like the older strains, the smells and flavors were, well delicious.
I really hate the 15 minute Buzz from the dispensary "kind" offerings.
So this will be my grow diary, I usually don't do the newest and greatest strains because, well I've not been real impressed.
Maybe it's because I'm old? I can't get the "high" anymore?
No, I guess I just like the old genetics.

5 weeks into my organic indoor grow.

I grew sk#1 from a holland seed bank years ago (2000 ish), was unimpressed with the level of "skunk" smell they produced, they were much like you described, I think piney & earthy with a hint of skunk is how I would classify it. A couple years before that (1999) I grew some sensi skunk (Sensi's house skunk) was also unimpressed with the level of skunk smell. But I grew out a male of it & used it to pollinate a kyber kush strain we already had that tasted killer, very skunk & black liquorish tasting. Some of the crosses were very very skunk like & turned out killer. I had maybe 1000 seeds from that cross put up but by like 2006 none would sprout.. crap! I am with you on liking the old school strains such as the real deal skunk! Lots of these hybreds are kinda crappy IMO, way too much mixed up genetics!

Yeah it's like looking for the golden ticket.

Yeah it's like looking for the golden ticket.

It's there, hiding in the genetics. It will take time to find, just keep breeding the best and crossing with any you can find from the skunk lines. It's a journey worth the time and would make you rich to boot.

 

[SkunkyDunk]

Thats my thinking, besides it's the journey not the destination necessarily.
I've had the pleasure of meeting many strains!

It's like trying to find a true Bubblegum. Supposedly its a 1:10 ratio. But there's no guarantee there's one in your 10 pack ;)

 

[SkunkyDunk]

1:1000 out of or 10,000 is probaly more like it.
I like R Connells book on botany concerning the hunt.

 

[PlumberSoCal]

Look what Mendel did with peas. Just takes time. I produced a black angel fish with an emerald face, not because I was or am an expert in genetics but because I saw something I liked and bread for it. Took about 5 years but was worth it. Now if I can cross some large flower genetics into my Chemgopher within the next 5 years as well as produce Chemgopher autos I'd be happy.

Now if you ever do find that Skunky Skunk be sure to put me on your seed sale list!

 

[SkunkyDunk]

Well, expecting snow again.
It's ok though I have plenty to do inside.
4 days ago I put 44g flower in 750ml 190 proof and put in freezer.
This morning I just poured it into my MB machine and I'm running it at 130* for 4 hours.
My Orange Slice freaks out when it kicks on! Ha ha.
Babies are doing great since I moved them under the LED's, they will be ready to drop in my big bag soon.
I gave my 3 MLI gals to my son and he is going to veg them for a couple more weeks and flower them. They are 9 weeks old. He's never grown any vegged over 4 weeks. I told him get ready for a "real" harvest!

 

[SkunkyDunk]

They are taking off!

 

[SkunkyDunk]

Like I said, I gave my son the MLI gals I had, I still have 2 female Afghani #1's that are 7 weeks old and 2 9 week old MLI males I'm keeping alive just in case.

 

[SkunkyDunk]

Got a little tincture concentrating going on 44 g flower to 750ml 190
Got 675ml return, well see how thick I want to go.
Hot plate at 130* in water bath.
It is super potent now.
Will be making gummies tonite!

 

[Cattapilla]

Teach me! Unless it involves high potency alcohol and flammable stuff. Too scary for me.

 

[SkunkyDunk]

It's easier than making brandy.
