But this is why I wanted to start this thread so we can talk about the genetics. I simply wanted to share my Old school Train-wreck experience because after listening to Kevin Jodrey it sounds like the Ester Alcohols that were lost accounted for a lot of the potent smells of the era. And the specific Train-wreck pheno that I had back then DEFINETLY had these alcohols. Its those extremely volatile alcohol and fat based compounds that used to occur naturally in the flower. So volatile that you cant make extracts with it, were talking exclusively smoking cannabis. Super oily and fatty when you pick apart the nug, every little calyx sticks to you fingers you gotta flick em off. This is what I want this thread to focus on. I have been using the term Ammonia a lot as a smell descriptor but actually now that I think about it... The smell Im talking about is like a cross between Ammonia and Rubbing Alcohol. I have yet to ever hear ANYONE not even 1 single person (Outside of Kevin Jodrey in his video) ever mention the strain Train-wreck when discussing the old extinct skunks. So all Im saying is maybe this might be a good place to perhaps look for some experimental breeding.
Has anyone out there ever smoked the Ammoniated Catpiss version of Train-wreck? The old one from the 80s? Or the HogsBreathe? Or hell even an Ammoniated skunk. If anyone has these strains or if you know someone who might please let me know! Even if its something similar.

Im trying to bring together a handful of strains together from the past. I will pay you big cash for a real cut. Im not a sloucher I got dough I will put my money where my mouth is. If I cant find the Ammonia/Alcohols in a direct cut then Im hoping to do some big open pollination runs between these exclusive vintage lines. If I pop enough beans my thought is I might be able to find one of those recessive phenos that has the Ester Alcohol in it. The nose burn sting.
I know a lot of people say that the skunk they smoked did NOT have the Ammonia/Rubbing Alcohol smell. That must mean that the version of skunk they were smoking probably was super high in the skunk terps profile but didn't have the Ester alcohol. I firmly believe that RKS was NOT a single strain it was actually an era in cannabis. There was a time in the US when the skunk flower was REALLY good and if you traveled around the country then you would likely find that the flower variations are not always identical. There were different versions floating around of what everyone is now referring to as "RKS". This is the best explanation for why everyone is arguing about the way it smells. There were different variations of what everyone is calling RKS. I want to stop arguing about it and start cooperating together to try to bring a collective of vintage strains together. Both Ammoniated/Alcohal skunks and non Alcohol skunks too! Im open to anything that is legit! Females and males both! If I start splashing around the pollen who knows? Maybe I will get lucky and find a Unicorn again like I did in college. If I do I would gladly share it with everyone on the THCFarm! I don't hoard shit I believe everyone should be openly trading together. It makes our grow community stronger.
