67 days flower, I really don’t see them going another 18 days. Time will tell!
Pretty stanky, not rks but def an old school smell from the 80’s. Dark funky sulfur
Next run will be bred to an old 77/78 afghan ibl that is more geared towards skunk funk, super tasty and potent

Nice grow

Im curious why its called 79 Skunk

Having bred with a few generations of the 78 Skunk from Mendo Joe's line, the Skunk at that time was much more NLD and not as resinous.
This "79 Skunk" looks more like what Subcool was playing with - a Dutch Skunk x Cindy hybrid, and maybe Widow. Ome could even pass that off as White Banghi

I think this one was sold on strainly by sunshine state seeds. In my honest opinion not a trustworthy person. Here goes the story on the auction page . This guy was kicked out of a bunch of private groups I was a part of .



1979 Heirloom Skunk clone only
Yes, we’re where everyone sourced this cut Originally
This is our limited August release; once this batch is gone we will have to make more for September. These will only be released in small numbers periodically
First picture courtesy of Drew
This is the cut that we introduced into the community. The is “the” cut. The ones that go by the monickers ‘79 and ‘81 Heirloom FL skunks were originally from our stock.
You can still use cash app or Venmo!
Flowering: 81-84 Days
Height: Tall
Clones are of the same size as pictured
All of our clones are large as you can see in the clone shipper.
First time this cut has ever been released (2023). The founder of the company now in his 70’s decided it was time to let some out into the community so the genetics are not lost.
This is our second to last of the old school heirloom skunks in our library. It has some similarities to our 1981 skunk, but this one seems to grow into a much bushier Christmas tree style pattern, but has somewhat less pronounced node gaps. So it will stay slightly shorter than the 1981.
The flowering times are similar to the 1981 but the structure of this 1979 skunk resembles a little bit more towards the 1988/89 UK cheese in structure. She will grow tall but will also grow wider. By no means is this a short plant, but it’s a few inches shorter, upon finishing than say the 1981 skunk.
The flavors are also a little bit different from the 81. This 1979 skunk is full frontal of what most would call gut wrenching and nauseating. Carbon filters are a must and secondary carbon filters are advised. Once harvested and drying the smell really smacks you. If you’re hang drying in an occupied living space it’s true to the gut wrenching nauseating smell. It’s best advised to dry away from people unless you love to stink.
The smell of this one is more towards the purist sulfur/rotten egg smell and pure rot. It truly smells like decaying organic matter with a strong tone of sulphur to the putrid rot and decay. To the degree we hired trimmers that were experienced that upon trimming replied multiple times that the drying room smells of an overflowing toilet and dead animal. One of the trimmers bowed out because she said the smell was too intense to continue. Some of our staff won’t partake in the 1979 skunk and the 81 is “as far down that rabbit hole of death smells” they’ll go. As the 81 has a little bit more of a damper on the sheer putrid stench. This 79 skunk makes one wonder how far is too far into the realm of rotten eggs and rot smells.
This strain is not for the faint hearted. It does make for a wonderful breeder or anyone that wants to impress others with just how nasty a true old school skunk can get.
The stretch is easily 3x’s upon 12/12. Harvesting at around the 80 day mark will make for a vibrant uplifting heady feeling and the true awfulness of the stench hasn’t reached its total fever pitch. The flowers will fill in nicely, but as all old school skunks there are some gaps that may not be filled in entirely. Though, she still packs on a proper weight with her large size.
She will adapt quite well to training methods and seems to enjoy staking and SCROG. She can take a proper dose of nutrients and her vigor for being so old isn’t impeded in any significant way

This came from an old Florida grower who called it 79 skunk

Don't let anyone ruin it for you, looks old-school to me except latest grow tech and nutrients. Who's to say. People have come out with old seeds like this, 79 Xmas bud and stuff. I do want to grow that. Edit I agree though maybe it isn't.

Nice. I was able to tell has old-school look though not as extreme as others. The real seed company Lebanese I got from seedsman had some look too outdoors on its leaf I couldn't capture in a photo, webbed serrated edges. Just one pheno.

I can tell you this one smells nothing like a Dutch skunk or c99 I’ve ever grown. Grew a shit load of sk1 over the years searching for the stank. Grew a shit load of c99 as well. From the first release through f5’s we made before we shit canned the line.
It was killer as an f1 super tasty, fast in flower and heart racing high. Every gen after the f1 got more and more generic in flavor and growth. By f5 wasn’t anything special This cut doesn’t remind me of anything Dutch
