Well, for the last 4 or 5 years I've been working with another forum testing the main guy's fem seed and the company he had been working for.My state just legalized and I was talking to a buddy about trying to find that late 90s early 2000s skunk again....you are one of the few I've seen talk about it...interested to see what you've been breeding!
Is this that old school m-39 i been looking for? Used to come as bc bud? I'm pretty sure that's the exact mix....AKBB has a lot more than whats on his site. And also JBC doesn't list a couple things like his good old NL5xhaze . That is on NEITHER site. But he's got it. Basically you have to email him and see what he has.
Yep thats the one everyone is looking for. Please let me know if you find anything remotely close your efforts will be
Bro this brings a tear to my eye. My best grow season 1 buddy I had was kind of a sketchy dude but we just clicked, we worked together, he had been to jail a shit ton, we both grew and I let him see my plants and was tripping he would come rip me off, but the guy didn't.Hell yeah I bet you anything it was that old school afghani genetics in it. That pure indica thats why it was so fast. If you eventually find a cut of that pleas PM me Im procuring cuts of old strains from many people here on THCFarm I will hook you up big for your efforts. I was chatting with another guy on here and he was talking about a cut that is very similar to that he says its an old school pure indica the fastest flowering strain he has ever ran its a bit finicky to grow you gotta dial it in right but he says once perfected it makes flowers that are stinky AF and fast fast! Im trading as much as possible trying to get a collection of old school cultivars. Im planning to do this massive Pepsi challenge (aka pheno hunt) and reduce it down the single hottest female that I find. Then if I am satisfied enough with it Im gonna then ship back cuts of this champion female to every person who participated in my pheno hunt project and sent me stuff. This way I can pay it back to the community and hopefully send people stuff that is even perhaps better than what they sent me. Its gonna take time to eventually go through all this stuff likely a few seasons but Im confident that if I keep turning through stuff Im bound to stumble on something incredible just a matter of time.
I'm in a flood plain, where the Mississippi and Missouri River meet, not sure about sulfuric compounds but with our occasional flood and renewal process...I can say...all my loudest strains were grown outdoor...in mixes of soil pulled from both rivers (Mississippi river mud, Missouri river sand) half the time using fricken miracle grow and tbps of sugar to a gallon of water now and then through flower...2 week flush...So it's sounding like it's not that those stank genes/traits have been bred out of the stank skunk, but rather the skunk today is merely a product of our modern day grow tech (e.g. hydro, etc.); that is, the skunk of today has been bred to grow best with the tech of today, which doesn't bring out the stank.
If this is the case, then bringing out that stank should be as simple as switching back to the growing conditions used in the stank days, and after so many generations we should have joy.
Speaking about the weed in the late 90's and early 2000's. If I had know what my buddy was growing up that holler, I'd got a bunch more seeds from him. I'd never seen weed that hairy looking before. I'd name it "Cousin It".When my buddies dad used to grow the original "chronic" back in the 90s you were lucky to even be allowed in their driveway around harvest/cure (I would think he still has seed of it, every year he'd grow the "old school funk")
I definitely feel that statement about high thc weed having no flavor sometimes....I even feel like it has lack luster stink on the plant sometimes...or maybe it's just my carbon filter...but idk how a carbon filter could handle some of that old school skunk or chronic or cat piss...
Sure some strains are loud...but back then they all were to an extent...super pungent....it's like the smell sometimes or the taste sometimes or even both has been bred out of it....I do have to consider grower and curing tho...so many people fuck up curing....
I've been using Miracle Grow and Pro-Mix as a base medium for almost 50 years.I'm in a flood plain, where the Mississippi and Missouri River meet, not sure about sulfuric compounds but with our occasional flood and renewal process...I can say...all my loudest strains were grown outdoor...in mixes of soil pulled from both rivers (Mississippi river mud, Missouri river sand) half the time using fricken miracle grow and tbps of sugar to a gallon of water now and then through flower...2 week flush...
Always got the absolute tastiest and loudest results this way....
My opinion is still out on these store bought nutes...I'm just getting back goin but I feel like I could shit in the pot and get more return for what I spent...
If you are growing outdoor...and you can run a couple clones off same mom...try ya some miracle grow for 10 bucks on one...not gonna kill ya...especially if ya smoked that Mexican brick weed they'd piss on back in the day
Maybe I'm wrong. But I always associated Christmas bud (we got in in missouri) as a time of year thing. I don't think the Christmas tree look was anything to do with it more so the time of year it would show up....and it makes sense after harvest that it would be ready by ChristmasYes I heard many people talk about the Christmas Bud from way back in the day. Here in Southern California I never remember the Christmas bud coming around perhaps it was before my time. We did get certain strains sometimes that had a Christmas tree pine smell but I never remember it ever called that it was just random strains that had a pine tree nose. Im glad you like that SSH Catpiss from Old School Chronic. I grew that same one from him along with a few others in his catalogue. He has some great genetics and I don't want to talk shit about him he was always very cool when I dealt with him. However his Catpiss stuff was good but IMO it was not the flaming hot ammonia nose-burn that I remember from my youth. As frosty and beautiful as his SSH Catpiss was I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't quite the donkey punch to the nose that came from that Trainwreck/Skunk Catpiss strain I grew in college. If my TW/Skunk Catpiss was a 10/10 then I would rate JR's SSH Catpiss at like a 6/10. Very frosty and high in THC and beautiful flower and most would LOVE his stuff however from a purely terpene smell perspective it wasn't even in the same ballpark as the terps that came off the TW/skunk Piss I grew back in the day. It was out of control honestly it was so loud it was insane.
I'd say your right about Xmas bud name.Maybe I'm wrong. But I always associated Christmas bud (we got in in missouri) as a time of year thing.

Lol that's awesome...I strategically ran rows of asparagus east to west after the last flood killed my rows that ran north to south....I always hid my plants in there but it really kinda missed the morning and evening direct light...it would get a little leak thru but I changed it up so now it'll get full sunI'd say your right about Xmas bud name.
But a lot of this Skunk grows like xmas trees.
It was one of the ways the plants were hidden was in groves of xmas tree pines on the morning or evening side of hills.
I'm interested to see the grow light man...I'm a tinkerer big time...would love to make my own light I have thought about it just haven't taken the dive into it....show me the way!Speaking about the weed in the late 90's and early 2000's.

2002, the imported weed Europe and Spain was showing higher CBN levels, weed and seeds were from an earlier time. I had read it in a magazine or online somewhere about 6 or 7 years ago. I thought it was interesting because of the seeds I bought from the seed banks in 2002.
9/11 affected the world in many ways. lol

You don't need all those expensive nutes these companies push on people. They make it sound so complex to grow a weed from seed. lol
But if money is no option, go ahead and make these companies rich.
Invest your money in the "highest affordable" quality lights and the best seed possible.
If you can do basic electronics, you can build lights with all the bells and whistles for a fraction of the cost.
Been DIY'ing LED light systems for close to a decade now.
Pro-Mix is around 35 bucks a bale and does 60 x 1gal pots.
It's not that hard to get a great return on your investment if you work smart.
KISS
Sorry everyone, I didn't mean to take over the thread. I don't get out much. lolI'm interested to see the grow light man...I'm a tinkerer big time...would love to make my own light I have thought about it just haven't taken the dive into it....show me the way!
Christmas bud smelled and tasted of extreme pine. Had nothing to do with the structure of the plantMaybe I'm wrong. But I always associated Christmas bud (we got in in missouri) as a time of year thing. I don't think the Christmas tree look was anything to do with it more so the time of year it would show up....and it makes sense after harvest that it would be ready by Christmas
Actually we are both sort of wrong haha.Christmas bud smelled and tasted of extreme pine. Had nothing to do with the structure of the plant
