Our skunk didn't smell anything like piss or shit. Smelled like skunk-nothing else. Not diesle or lemon or gas or piss or unicorn farts - just skunk only. I've been told the original skunk#1 doesn't smell very skunky but idk. I was never stupid enough to try to buy the seeds from the mail.
My skunk#1's absolutely reeked of skunk, scared to open my front door to anyone I didn't know ...no shit or piss smell in the phenos I grew. Some of my nl5 x haze crosses had hints of piss(not amonia) but in nice way lol.

I heard he was kind of a shady guy. I don't know him personally but based upon what I heard others say about him kinda seems questionable. As far as his genetics people say its legit but who the fuck knows. Its been my experience that finding the red hot muy fuego in seed from is really tough. I would spend $500 on a cut if I knew 100% it was a badass. Im not paying that much for a pack of seeds.
Yeah from what Ive seen and heard,.. Well, its nothing good, lol.
I have no idea how good or bad his genetics are (because no-one grows them).
Have you had a look on Strainly for cuts? They also have beans. I just saw these.

If it's the same Riot guy that used to have his own website many many years ago I have a brother that went on to his sight and granted my brother is a s******* and when people say things to him he flies off the handle and acts like a f****** knucklehead but he had a valid point this time this this Riot guy was talking to him because his girlfriend at the time as a recovering heroin addict and this Riot guy claimed he had this cultivar they keep great efficacy so that people can get off Suboxone but he wanted $400 a pack and then it was this big who ha who real when you wanted to try and get your money refunded because it wasn't as advertised yeah I'd stay away from him

So it looks like there are already a few people on here growing Shoreline Genetics. And I found this old thread you guys might want to look at. Seems like people were having this same discussion 10 years ago, lol 😄👍

I bought 5 packs from Shoreline genetics one of those is the Shoreline BX but I haven't ran it yet. I heard people talk shit on shoreline but he was really cool on the phone so I supported his business. This was like 2 years ago been so busy haven't gotten to the beans yet hopefully my germination rate is still good when I finally do. The Crippy at Shoreline looked super hot that was actually the one I was most excited about.

Skunk dissapeared because of the cops. In the war on drugs era, everyone went inside. The smell of the skunk was getting ppl busted. They chose hasplants. They dont smell strong, but are very potent. So the theory is, this is why this stinky cultivar disappeared. But I believe there is something important happening in the outdoor, sun grown weed, that cant be reproduced. Maybe the transition back to this outdoor growing method, might bring back that sulfuric, dead body, burned tires, skunk piss, thing we all love.

Just throwing this out there as it relates to the RKS. Back in the late 80's through the 90's, where I was, not a lot of people cared as much about "what" something actually was, it was more about "where can I get that stuff that smells like like that". I don't care what it costs, or what it is, just get me some.
We had plenty of packs come through that as soon as you opened them they reeked out the block, smelled just like a skunk. Thank you Dead Head connects.
Fast forward to 2020's and what I know now compared to then, I think the early "skunks", late 80's, came from the parent of the NL line and the 90's "skunks" were from NL 1-5.
That stuff was just so different from what was available back then, in the power, and the aroma, and the taste compared to everything else we had access to back then.
I truly wish people understood what it is to have the genetics they have access to now, no exaggeration, it cost some people all they had, I for one do not take that lightly even if I can get seeds now with a click of the mouse button.
I do not think the genetics are gone, more the formula for the crosses and the markers for the correct plants in the gene pools. Some simple step is missing, something just as simple as seed from the original dirt prayed over by a Baba.

Has anyone grown Authentic Genetics "Skunk #1"? Is it skunky smelling?
I too miss the weed of yesterday year. This dispensary weed sucks. Most of it is dry and crumbly. Nothing skunk whatsoever. The kids running it don't know what skunk is. I don't want to settle for weed that smells like skittles.

I have... Nothing skunky.
Skunk #1 hasn't been skunky in a very long time... If it ever was.
Have you tried Zkittlez?

The skunk smell still alive and well in okieland. Very skunky, but not as strong smelling as 1981-84, potency is better and its not called skunk anymore.

Most of the ole skunk we had was grown in a good phottron. Lol along with northern lights this was 1980’s maybe we should try growing in one of tiny phototron boxes ? Any one still have one ? Lmao

My good friend had one of them- it sucked and got too hot. That was when I was using 1000w mh- she had no idea I was growing. lol

I haven't. Is it skunky? Or does it smell like skittles lol.
The cut I have has some skunkiness... It's Zkittlez x Hindu Kush though (Z3)... But it also very much tastes and smells like a freshly opened bag of the candy... It's delicious... The high is pretty basic however.

Skunky weed still very much exists... My place absolutely reeks right now. 🥴

Some good discussion here... Can fast forward to 52 minutes to get to Skunk #1... If ya want.
I know... Matt Riot not getting much love here already... But still, it's worth listening to.https://open.spotify.com/episode/0g3MVOyeanx5uyM5MNsyQn

I ran that Authentic Genetics Skunk #1. Out of a 12 pack I popped 6 beans so far. 3 were males 3 were females. The 3 females honestly were pretty unimpressive. Tiny buds and not a lot of skunk at all. After drying and curing they were a little bit better than I first thought cuz they were pretty dense buds. The high was descent and the smell was zesty but honestly not even close to what I wanted. But I do have to remember these are 1988 genetics so the flowers are gonna be different. Hopefully when I pop the other 6 I get something better. I have the AG NL#5 too its supposed to be the original seed stock from back in the day. We will see. Its unfortunate that after spending hundreds of dollars on skunk seeds and trying dozens of cultivars it still doesn't compare to my Fire OG cut. This isn't even technically a "skunk" strain but it honestly is more skunky than all the so called "skunks" I have ran recently. Go figure. Good old OG still the most skunky I have personally found. 🤷‍♂️ As seen below Fire OG reeking out my whole property smelling all the way down the driveway 😂

So am on a project to recreate the skunk. Am running the balkhi afgani, and columbian gold for the summer run. Will cross them for the first round. But my best news is, I run Acapulco gold alot, from bodhi, and found a pheno, that I've seen before, but never got seeds. But this round, I found her AGAIN! And got some seeds!! I call her the dankapulco pheno. Shes dank! She isnt as much the Carmel that is on the other phenos. Less sweet. She is more acrid. That dankness in fuels that makes us choke. This is the pheno. So excited for the last round of my skunk project!

Right on man. I have similar projects going now.
