Return Of The Skunk

I'll leave that to the PHD's -- and no not the Phil's , Hank's , and Dave's -- the scientists....


nice thought but they couldn't care less. all the emphasis in breeding now is elsewhere. the current push is for easy and faster growing commercial weed. skunk was on the way out long before legal. there's less than no chance now that legal is here.

there are some growers out in bc that still grow it, but the genetics are 30+ yrs now, i doubt it's really the same, and the prices for it will make your hair curl. it's not in the legal mainstream.
 
Aromas and effects have greatly changed since I was a youngster , I would say for the most part better. But I would like to smell that old smell , good old skunk, Thai, Columbian Gold / Red , Acapulco Gold / Red and reliable Mexican. You would think if the genetics can be bred out then why not bred back in? With the laws the way they are what is there to be afraid of now?

I'll leave that to the PHD's -- and no not the Phil's , Hank's , and Dave's -- the scientists....

Happy Growing

Harvest this weekend -- Yay
Cause the Internet. This is what I'm trying to do as we speak. Bringing some cultivars to f2, and trying to select what's a bit different, even if the buds aren't pretty. I think most the time, people are selecting for photo ops, and the terps suffer. In my search, some of the scraggly looking buds, have been the most potent.
 
I just love all these kids who tell me, a person who was actually there, that the bud today is way, way more potent than in the “old days”. I must agree to disagree, after all, I was there, they wasn’t. I’ve bought all the so called Skunk seeds around, first of all, I’ve nver seen such pussy fart seeds, you’re lucky if half the seeds even pop, and if they do, damping off is prevalent with today’s marijuana seeds. Remember when we’d buy an ounce of Gold Columbian for $60, there’d be 14 grams of seeds in 28 grams of buds, and if you threw the 200 seeds in the ground, 198 would germinate. Ain’t like that now, it’s the names, the ten billion names they have, ridiculous, and the dope is awesome looking, smells amazing, but chrome never got me home. When have you lately smoked any bud, where’d you say, “Wowy, now that is good pot.”? I’d have to say, mid 1990’s when Skunk bud would smell like dead skunk arseholes. Just sayin’…
Have you ever tried Blue Skies Vienna?
 
Don't follow the hate train dude. Plenty of people have found it through his mixed and single packs. The powers at be don't want his genetics getting out for some odd reason but yeah there you go! I'm hunting through his packs but I have something called "blind faith." Check out the Old School Cannabis Project on YT to stay updated.

Oh I've seen some of those, do be interesting, going over how Greenhouse & co ruined the Jamaican crops..
And he also doesn't seem to be a fan of the cookies strain ruining everything, but there he touches on something I very much been suspecting for a couple of years now, entourage effect and how high THC is not the key to heavy weed. It gives a fast short lived buzz and not the 4 hour struggle it could sometimes be.
And I would firmly agree it's the full spectrum and ratios of all the compounds, there's hundreds of them in there. And a lot of acrid or putrid or bitter notes are selected out, understandable if you got a strain that tastes of candy and one of puke.. likely puke is not gonna sell like cupcakes...
but most psychoactive plants I know are bitter as fuck.
As well I've been trying these more modern strains and well yeah it's a sober high for me, it's fresh & fast.

I dunno, kinda hard to believe the entire game is against one dude. That's the way he made it sound any how. And his beans were way overpriced. Ain't they like 25 a bean?

At the beginning yeah his beans were priced that way because of all the haters. He also released his least best work in the beginning just because he knew people would rip it off as there own without giving credit. He's running hella deals rn and he's about to quit selling seeds for good so I'd grab a scoop while you can.
 
Hi Guys. I've just stumbled across this thread, last season I was given two supposedly Super Skunk, they were very smelly, thick stemed and leaves, I have never seen a plant with such wide blades on the leaves, the center blade was 65mm (2.5 inches across. One of the plants had some Nannas so I pollinated the other female and was lucky to get 4 seeds from her.
I have never grown super skunk, or even seen it for that matter, but I expect many of you guys and gals have I will post a picture of the supposedly Supet skunk and I would interested to read your comments.

Kiaora bro, I grew up smoking in the 70s also,pot didn't have any strains or names back then that i was aware of, it was just known as bush pot and I am guessing now that it was sativa dominant. There was one with a name we all know well,"Buddha", yes wrapped around a skewer with cotton, holy shit did that get you smashed. Those were the good old days.
Strains had no names when I was younger, but its pretty cool that you remember Northern Lights and White Widow after skunk, I was away for a lot of this. To be honest, I'm not sure what strains the old school Sinsemilla was way back when..

Coming from way back in the late 70's and 80's gives me a very different perspective than most. Some of the strains like Northern Lights might be considered mid's to today's smokers, but to me they are amazing. I'd love to try White Widow, another old school classic that I have a feeling I would like. (I tried to grow it but it was high in odor even in veg)..

Thanks for the review of bigbud/skunk etc... I've had my eyes on Big bud crosses, they seem to use big bud often.

White Widow by me, taken down due to skunky odor early veg !

I grew some every nice looking white Widow a few years back and I found it to be over rated and would recommend White rhino over Widow by a country mile.
Cheers
 
What? Sorry the way you type is hard to understand.
Is it? You say it's stolen genetics and he asks without going any further into the post to explain that statement, what do you mean stolen genetics.

I mailed Dutch Passion for their Genetics list pre-08 and got a nice list back, just to make sure to sample some stuff before all the cookies and gelatos and whatnots started entering the mix.
And I got some regular seeds from Indian farmers, I really should check out what that stuff tastes and smells like, next year so I can keep cuts in the greenhouse for a while.

Because there's a guy who goes by 3ll_mixedUp on IG who was Posting Blue Skies Skunks and then JJ from Top Dawg Seeds bullied him into taking them down (Blues words not mine do your research) because not too long after he was claiming he found it out of Katsu's cut of 79' skunk or some bullshit. I don't buy that for one second. Katsu has been trying to get his hands on Blue's genetics since the beginning when Blue Skies was in the hospital from 3rd degree burns from a forest fire, and nearly died in 2017. Yeah fuck cookie corp. Chad weed. I wouldn't trust anything Dutch either. They're a bunch of jack offs just like Sam the Skunk man. Why would they give A FED who was apparently an escape convict from America more freedom to grow weed and to have access to things people in universities over there don't even have access to? Because they're a part of it all. Part of the commercialization of it all and that's why none of them sell regular seeds anymore because they wanna push their hype auto flower fem seeds so we can't reproduce our own fire.

Skunks not gone. Blue skies brought it back in 2019, and every nuance of it. Pick up a pack, search through it and quit crying lol.
Have any of you actually smelt a skunk? That smell is unforgettable, and the seeds they sell us, sold me, grow a nice pot plant, but never in the entire life of the plants grown from Skunk #1 seeds from here, there and everywhere never smelled anything remotely close or even similar to a skunk. Call it what you will, it ain’t skunk bud. You kids weren’t even born yet when real Skunk bud was around, how can all of a sudden, you’re all fukin’ professionals. Joke.

Yeah okay now what? you got it?

I would think the compounds in cannabis are older than all of us and pop off all kinds of smells all around the globe all the time..
However in the commercial lines it's probably out a long time for the reason mentioned and yes it might have never been in skunk#1
or maybe it is and you just need to get a bucket of the regulars put half a mountain full of plants and take a daily walk to look for it;
A lot of things have been toned down and gone more sweet, I remember Citral weed, that was so violently cat piss it was not really pleasant to smell the bag or smoke the joint, that's over 20 years ago that I've encountered that.

According to the professionals you're looking for a plant very high in Volatile Sulfur Compounds it's not the terpenes that make the skunk https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsomega.1c04196
Terrible publication as they write somewhere, now we know this, this could be useful for future breeding creating even LESS SMELLY strains! noooooo!
