79 FL Skunk s1 #1. Crazy leaves. Heavy smell like grease and fuel, slight burnt rubber. Not very skunky yet but very powerful and rank.

Bushy structure, some stretch.

Bean pole structure on the #2. Was way behind but already taller. Similar smell. Will top it and run it once but most likely keeping the other pheno.

Super Skunk. Check out those giant leaves on the new mom. All strains have been backed up and started fresh from clone, my coco/soil mix and my feeding schedule. Cool to see the growth from my inputs and have full control now.

Alright fellas I finally got an update. Most of these plants are Burnout Stinkers Skunk by Strayfox however I have one plant in here thats a skunky pheno of Oreoz that I was gifted from a friend here on THC Farmer. I just moved them into my 4x4 tent and Im about to flip them to 12/12 soon. So far the stem rubs on all of them smell very potent and stinky! It took absolutely forever to veg these I had my LUX dialed in perfectly in my 2x4 veg tent however somehow the dimmer switch on my LED light got turned on 🙄. I have absolutely no idea how this happened I think during one of my waterings I must have accidentally bumped the dimmer switch on. So basically I have been watching these things grow super slow for months and the whole time I was thinking it must be the genetics. When in fact my light intensity got switched to half power and I didn't even know it LOL 😂 🤷‍♂️. That explains it. Oh well you live and learn. Good news is I finally caught the mistake and turned the light intensity back to normal. Overall they are looking good now and catching up...

Please don't take this the wrong way but I had skunk weed back in the 90's and it wasn't special to me. My question is is it flavorful or is it the effects 🤔 I have questions just out of ignorance.

Alot of it is nostalgia i reckon. I think alot of us are just tired candy terps


I do like the effects of skunk. The euforia i grew last round hits the same. Maybe not as long. Just fruity.

Looking good! Hey shit happens. Had 2 power outages already during this crop, one for 4 hours+ with a full clone machine. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Glad to see you on the hunt, hopefully some of those Stinkers pay off!

Some of it is nostalgia. It was everywhere back then and it seemed to just disappear. There were a few different types of skunks going around, but what most of us remember was very flavorful and pronounced. The taste and smell just lingered. Very strong buzz and nice effects. Just an all around heavy flavor and smell as opposed to fruity.

Not sure if this linked was posted yet but there's some decent info here:

Why cannabis smells skunky

As cannabis is legalized in more areas, it has become increasingly popular as a medicinal and recreational drug. This plant produces a pungent, skunk-like odor that is pleasing to some but repulsive to others. Now, researchers have discovered a new family of prenylated volatile sulfur compounds...
www.sciencedaily.com

"Five of the VSCs contained the prenyl functional group and had skunk-like or sulfuric aromas.

One compound in particular, 3-methyl-2-butene-1-thiol, referred to as VSC3, was the most abundant VSC in the cultivars that the panel reported to be most pungent.

This compound has previously been implicated in the flavor and aroma of "skunked beer" -- beer that goes bad after being exposed to UV light."

Finally, in greenhouse experiments, the researchers determined that the prenylated VSCs increased significantly toward the end of the flowering stage of cannabis growth, reached a maximum during curing and then dropped substantially after 10 days of storage."

Yep this is true I read a few articles about VSCs and it appears that the sulfur element is crucial for maximizing skunky terpenes. I am thinking about trying some Mr. Fulvic during this flower run on my skunk plants. Never used it before but heard great things. I gotta add that Sulfur this time 🤘

It is primarily the nostalgia of the smell. Super loud terpenes that would fill the whole room when you opened the jar. The smoke would linger and you could smell it half way down the block when someone fired up a joint. In a way skunk bud was like a rebel thing you couldn't hide the smell and the smoke was like a giant middle finger to the man 🖕😂. The olfactory is the closest sense to the human brain and our memories. Have you ever smelled something that immediately took your memory back to when you were a kid? For example like the smell of hot asphalt on a blazing hot summer day... It reminds me of the smell of summer. It conjures up feel good memories of summertime vibes and the ice cream truck and water ballon fights with my friends from the neighborhood. Real skunk bud is similar to this for me. Very nostalgic. When I think of that smell of skunky chronic I immediately think of my high school and college days. It conjures up memories of backyard parties and rock n' roll concerts. Listening to Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd albums in my homies garage and staying up all night laughing our asses off until our ribs hurt. Ahhhhhh those were the days! Im starting to sound old. I want to relive it all over again! Im seeing the world through my Rose colored glasses now! 😂

Exactly. Sulfur is a secondary nutrient like Cal/Mag but can and should be boosted for VSCs.

Here's what I'm running this time:

LED + Full Spectrum UV
Organic inputs in coco mix
Guano
Volcanic Ash
Sulfur
Sealed room running 1600ppm of CO2
Mountain Spring Water

Whole place absolutely reeks! Have to turn off the CO2 and run the exhaust fans to clear out the smell a couple of times a day. Smell stinks outside, even after being filtered. Only in mid flowering and the smell is so strong and penetrating walls already! The Stinkfoot lives 🦨

Exactly. The smell was getting everyone busted so they just stopped growing it and started crossing and breeding the fruity stuff instead. The way I see it the more "Pure bred" the skunky pungent vintage varieties the better. Meaning they are not crossed with any of the modern stuff. I figure if i use the most pure bred stock for breeding then it will increase my odds of finding an Ester Alcohol phenotypes. I want that loud and rude boarder-line offensive experience.

That’s exactly how I remember it happening!The skunk was stinky magic,even in Britain then and then it just disappeared because too many people were getting busted for it(remember,it’s still illegal over here,3-5 years for a good size grow is common including stealing electricity which I don’t get!Mine only costs just over £300 to do so it’s just greed)all the time!That’s when the not so stinky Stardawg and the Haze comes into their own!Big yields and not too stinky!Perfect for undercover grows,which is needed over here so it is understandable!Thats what I reckon happened over here,definitely!!!🇬🇧💪🏻💯🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😍

Like previously mentioned its a time machine, i dont know about you, but those are pretty rare. I saw too many drug band concerts in the mid 90s through early 00s. Usually, but not everytime, through haze and smells of normal kind bud, there would be one that stood out enough to make you turn your huge pupilled head around and look for the source. Most times, those were skunk phenos, or nasty ogs. Fwiw
