won't come close to the skunk we're all after but can attest to the northern lights #10 at homegrowncannabisco.com. easy grow, good yield. yet to find anything that hits like the old school strains though
I hope it's him. I think so.
If you find a real version of the skunk's ass itself, let me know ... Old school skunk smelled like sulfur and burnt rubber and an intense Roadkill Skunk odor.I hope it's him. I think so.
I can't say what the smell was like in the 80s, but I'm thinking that the warm effect is very powerful. It has a high sensitivity to light. The dry weight is 1/2 of the raw weight. The buds are really dense. The smell is strong only if the nutrition is suboptimal. Even the slightest disruption causes a strong smell. It feels like it needs a laboratory solution. However, if the nutrition is proper, the smell is neutral. I would describe it as a cannabis smell, nothing more. But the most important thing is that this plant showed a dominant gene in the analysis cross.But the main effect is that this shit has blown my mind so much that I don't want to smoke anything else.
I only want to smoke this, but I need at least 5 months
There’s no doubt that there is good weed out there named skunk…I think it’s more the hunt for that terp profile that smells like someone ran over a skunk…if you had it once you never forgot it.
I told this story elsewhere here, as it's the back story that speaks, but I have collected all bag seed since 1992-ish, in 94/95 had skunk three or so times, my opinion there's good weed, great weed and then there's skunk. I collected some seeds from skunk, (how many I forget, couple, few) mate grew one from my seed outdoors, exact same qualities as the skunk the seed came from but toned and tamed due to unknown pollinator. I have my seeds stored in labelled bags, desiccant, air tight container, in fridge for decades now, labels smudged, I am unsure IF I still have 1, 2, ? seeds from this mid 90's skunk. I know the name 'skunk' gets tossed around but despite my near constant claims I'm no idiot, with that, 1000's of self tested and assessed strains over the years, nothing before or since shared this weeds characteristics. I am 100% it was skunk, I am 50% that I still hold the seeds. A skilled grower could draw the skunk from the other half of the plant. There are 15-ish baggies of seeds, there are a few seeds per bag, I cannot grow outdoors, I don't 'currently' have the know how to indoor grow these seeds one by one and then secure the genetics via seed production so as to then cross with another beneficial strain.
I'm sure it has nothing to do with the smell. If we're talking about the breeding that took place in the 1980s, we can confidently say that it's about dominant genes. The difference between the words is just one letter, but the meaning of "skаnk number one" is much more significant than the smell. The stable variety was highly valued at that time, and the dominant gene ensures this. The smell and taste are not the primary considerations, as different individuals may have different dietary preferences. And if everything is as I think, then there are just unacceptable mistakes. But someone who is not very knowledgeable could think that the smell is a trademark. But the smell is the result of transpiration and violations of agricultural practices, first of all.
I assure you, you can do an analyzing cross with a recessive homozygous regular variety. The results will be clear. Skunk cannot be recessive.
I think the dominant gene will remain. But we need to find a plant that has it. It may not be an exact copy, but it will only match the original if it has the dominant gene. I don't think that pollination with recessive plants will significantly affect the overall picture. Therefore, I believe that such plants can still be found.I'm getting good skunk No1 and Northern lights now and again, seems pretty close to the old stuff.
Would like to compare old genetics from different banks, is there much difference between them when comparing the same strains from the olden days.
Never got much insight into how my banks kept their genetics and mostly seemed a little closed of with that information. I'm assuming clones of clones of clones were the best way although feel like when they discontinued one strain then bought it back it was from seed not clone.
Do you think someone might have or a bank still exist with a thirty forty year old clone?
Shame sensi or Dutch passion don't tell me more, always found there stuff to be pretty close to the originals on a couple strains
It has everything to do with the smell.
This is your opinion, but it is ridiculous to love grass because of its smell, and even more ridiculous to grow medicinal varieties because of their smell. I am only speaking in terms of facts.
Start at the beginning of this thread and see what the conversation was about…your opinion about anything being ridiculous is just that.
Don't forget that medical varieties originated from him, and that's the key. If you take some time to understand how inheritance, phenotype, and genotype work, you'll realize that there are dominant genes. As I mentioned earlier, the smell could be strong and recognizable due to the nutritional approach, but unfortunately, I can't give you a plant to smell. Smells are quite individual.
Very interesting man…sounds like a job for @RoadKillSkunkHunt !

I'm close to ready to start my next grow. This one won't have any skunk crosses. I've wanted to do a run with some cultivars from Anesia seeds for a while now. I have the following ready to start once I have harvested the garden outside. I don't want to risk bringing in outdoor issues to my inside grow.
