Stop wasting your money time and brain cells on seedbank scammers. None of these mother fuckers have a God damned clue. Meet me in person I'll give you a few hundred skunk seeds for free. Not in my neighborhood? Don't grow in soil? Sorry, that's the only way I can narrow it down. The internet has RUINED weed. "Oh that shit looks pretty" yeah and it fucking smells like Botanicare and feels like a homicide toxological report.

TALK TO PEOPLE IN REAL LIFE. GET THE FUCK OFF THE SCAMMERNET. I get amazing shit in seed form on at least a monthly basis. NOT FROM FUCKING KIDS ON INSTAGRAM. USE COMMON SENSE GOD DAMN, MILLENNIALS DONT KNOW WHAT WEED IS.

The shit you can buy from a scammer/punk ass bitch wannabe breeder at a seedbank is TRASH.

One good thing I'm going to say about this is that this cultivar has touched enough people where there's still a few of us alive and around that have the motivation and the wherewithal to stay with it and keep on it and I have a feeling that with all of the money that's being thrown into this the people that are holding on to it that had it are going to start letting it go and you know let's face it those of us that have had it before and had to wait it's like a kid getting Hands-On real chocolate after eating s*** fake chocolate all of his life you're going to hold on to that Hershey bar you know what I mean so we'll see I have a good feeling about what's coming around boys. Nothing but positive vibes here

Rock Phosphate in the 70s and 80s was really high in cadmium. I am not positive on this but I think cadmium toxicity creates high thiol production which is the skunk smell. Could be that the strain is around but nobody uses the same levels of cadmium in their rock phosphate so you don't sense as much.

It's funny that as a very young boy looking at the compost pile on the end of the property in Waitsfield I'd always wonder like things would grow their out of the compost like you would not expect to grow I always growing up not understanding the scientific analysis analysis in the thigh all sin the terpene in the suspect I didn't understand any of that I just figured for that plant must have grown right over a dead skunk huh dad?

Some of us still use the same nutes we used in the 70s and 80s, so I doubt that matters. Skunk was bred out because no one wants their house smelling like it. My wife complains when I grow skunky weed; and it's not nearly as loud as what we did in the early eighties.

Interesting theory, not sure I would want to increase the Cadmium though as it is a heavy metal. In reading the article, they state that sulfur is also added to aid in absorbtion of Cd. Sulfur could also be what helps bring out the thiols and thus increase the skunk smell without the Cd which is not good for human consumption. I'm not sure it would make all strains smell skunky but a supposed skunk plant grown in sulfur rich soil may turn out skunkier than one grown without added sulfur? May be worth a side by side comparison grow? Here is another article that may add some reference to increasing thiols in plants.

Had a friend living in the desert and raising true skunk in the early 80’s. Actually he was screwed up from a hang gliding accident but his old lady grew them using organic methods including homemade compost and composted manure from the 100 dairies nearby. Skunk was skunk. Rock phosphate be damned.

Which raises the question: what is true skunk? Is it skunk #1 from the seed bank or sssc? IDK what skunk #1 looks or smells like. We grew what was called skunk in the early eighties before anyone ever heard of skunk #1 or the seedbank. This stuff was stupid stinky. A small bud in your pocket would turn heads.

There were no seed banks back then. After Sonny did his faceplant into the side of a cliff it was obvious he’d never work again. A friend from Tucson drove over and gave his old lady seeds and a telephone number in Washington to call to sell it. God only knows where the seeds originally came from.

If skunk is just a crosses of 3 strains why can’t they just cross the strains again. Or was it some super rare pheno?

The skunk we had in Oregon was supposed to be thai x afgan x colombian. Skunk #1 is supposedly ag x colombian x afghan. Nothing purple about it; just sticky green skunk. Potency was good, but not as good as the outdoor grown hawaiian or thai at that time.

If someone seriously wanted to breed a plant to be skunky, its not hard. But seriously, who wants their house, car, and, clothes smelling like skunk?

The big problem seems to be what was “Colombian” or “ag” or etc then isn’t the same anymore. Modern strains have taken over in the places where these were grown and where they didn’t outright replace they pollinated. I think if it were real easy someone would do
It because there’s money to be made on it. I mean I don’t want my house smelling like cat piss either but hey I’d jump in line for some rks, several ppl on here would. Just for nostalgia purposes, although someone mentioned Malathion releasing thiols when it’s burned so who knows lol
