Sounds like an Afghani like the Jolly Pond Afghani. I have that strain as Kabul Baba f2 but that's another project away yet. Eddie (and Sam?) called that one RKS.

Sunshine State Seed Co holds a 79' RKS clone from Florida. Katsus doing S1s of it. From what I understand, it's pretty impressive. I haven't ran it yet. But I can say that their Tampa Bay Crippie is a force of nature and they are holding some very incredible genetics.

I've grown out the '79' Skunk (Sunshine Genetics) in a hybrid form last summer. It was so Sticky (simialr to GG #4) - I had to clean my scissors after each branch, and every few buds of trimming. It was awesome smoke, total head stash - it would leave the classic "Skunk incense aroma" lingering in the air after smoking - the kind of smell you know is kind bud. It draws you in like a magnet - if you know what I mean.
The strain was "Swamp Lilly" (79 Florida Skunk x No. 2) - from Hyp3rids; their work includes many classic genetics. I highly recommend checking them out if you to try out the '79' Florida Skunk in hybrid form. Personally, I've found F1 genetics perform much better - you get that F1 Vigor (rather than an IBL). They have some very nice genetics, definite quality breeding work. The Swamp Lilly was top shelf smoke.

They have a couple things I want. They have a 10-12 week Colombian that I really want but it’s out of stock. The skunk diez3l sounds good too.

Yeah I dunno. I was referred to Bruce and reached out on Instagram when I was hunting for my Crippie clone. And the one he sent me was the same cut I lost in 2006 without a shadow of a doubt.
Unfortunate to hear this may not always be the case. But I'm 1/1 over here. I don't have any flowering at thr moment, but I plan on doing a diary next run.
How do you like it? I saw a few people growing it and it looked real nice. I've pondered growing it

I love it honestly. I'm a bit bias because I have a lot of history with it. I left NY in 04' and went to FL and it was the only thing I found in the West Palm area that was truly uniquely worth writing home about.
I was only there for a year and you can imagine my access was limited, but after losing my Sour cutting, it was like a breath of fresh air.
It doesn't yield poorly, though it's not a monster either. If you veg it long enough it'll bush on its own, and it likes to spiral viney branches upward high and tight.
It takes to training well, if you can grow it as sideways as possible you'll get the most from it. It will definitely stretch at least 3x flowering though.
But other that that its great. Eats like a champ, real easy please. Clones in < a week with aloe and water.
Smoke is piney, funky old school fuel. It predates the Triangle Kush and has that power that the Chem lines have.
Slow to veg, but not as slow as the 91' Chemdog. And much faster than most cuts this old. It's very strong, and definetely has the old school punch that modern gas just doesn't.
I really couldn't recommend it more. I like running it a little longer than 10 weeks, closer to 11. It packs on a bit of weight at the end.
I run living soil with dry amendments & fish shit. Trying out Flavuh next run. But that's it.

I've never heard of either, are they from va?
I don't know bud, these where floating around for years, then i think a round up happened.... I don't know how old you are age wise....
Your description sounds exactly like the ones I was previously reading from other growers. Everyone said it's very pine smelling. Thnx

For sure. The pine forward and gas finish really makes it unique; normally pine forward varieties have a distinct earthy hash plant thing behind them (Romulan comes to mind) which is great but familiar; this ones really all fuel on the back end and it really gives it it's own color.
I have a bush I just topped and hoping to flip to flower by May when this next round comes down. I'm so limited on real estate these days and juggling more than I probably should. But we live once.
Have a big Grapefruit bush going at the moment along with a Deep Chunk x Tropicana Cookies I grew from seed. Going to get a late diary started sometime this week.
Skunk, was around long before Sk1-Super Skunk, were available.
We got our first SKUNK, here in NE KY, in 1978. It came from RIP- William Keith "NOODLES" Hayes, from Meigs County Ohio.
Meigs, in the 70s, was known as the Humboldt County, of the East.
Noodles, was also the originator of Meigs County old. Willie Nelson, and some of the Jefferson Airplane Crew, were frequent visitors, to his farm.
Jorma, and his wife, also have a Farm, not far from where Noodles used to live, and have concerts, and Guitar Clinics. Its called, the Fur Peace Ranch.
My buddy met Noodles, in 1972, in Charleston, Wv. His band was one of the opening acts, for James Gang, at the Charleston Civic Center. Noodles invited him to his farm.
Noodles gave my buddy, the first Indica we had ever seen, in 1972, and seeds of it. My buddy grew that strain, from 1972, -1984. It is general consensus, that the strain, was also called-Ky Puke Weed. Every hit was super choke, lung expansion. Deep Red, in color, and thumb sized buds. Rock Hard. It grew like a Beach Ball/Hedge, and thats what my buddy called it. Beach Ball.
In 1978, Noodles gave my buddy, the first SKUNK, we ever saw, and he grew that, until 1984, when a RAT, got him busted, and he lost both the Indica, and the Skunk, and of which the likes, I have no seen since.
Noodles got busted, in the late 90s, and did 7 years, in Federal Prison. I also find it curious, that the real decline of the Skunk, happened, when, and after Noodles got busted. Not saying he invented it, but, I do feel, he was one of the main purveyors, of the strain.
Noodles had been collecting seeds, since the 1960s, and I also figure, he had access to strains from California, possibly, even BOEL, because he had everything under the sun.
He spoke to my buddy, in 1978 about Kerela.
My buddy, until his dying day, says Noodles told him the SKUNK, had South Indian/Kerela in it. How many people even knew of Kerela, in 1978?? For sure some did, but Im guessin, very few Hillbillies, from Appalachia, knew WTF, Kerela was in 1978, or even Indica, in 1972. So, imho, the dude had some major connections.
COPA, is working with some of NOODLES old genetics, and did just release a LTD Meigs Gold Release, which I missed. I think only 50 packs.
Noodles passed away at St Marys Medical Center, in 2020. Noodles, would be 81 years old, this year. Figure in 1967, he was 23 years old.
But, IMO, I highly doubt any Skunk, is going to be found in anything that seed companies like Nevil Seed Bank, Sensi Seeds, Flying Dutchman, SSSC, or the like of any of those genetics, from then.
Also the Shunk Noodles gave my buddy, was Sativa Dominant. Huge, Long Donkey Dick Buds, that you could smell a block away. We never called it RKS. It just simply smelled like a Skunk, spray, or one that had been hit. And, it also had its preferable smells, and taste, and while it was Skunk, it was a Skunk, of the highest, most desirable order. Nothing objectionable, about it.

William Keith “Noodle” Hayes (1944-2020) - Find a Grave
William (Noodle) Hayes, 75 of Racine, OH (Antiquity community) went home Friday, January 24, 2020, at St Mary's Medical Center, Huntington, WV. He was Born July 27, 1944 at Middleport, Oh.But, IMO, I highly doubt any Skunk, is going to be found in anything that seed companies like Nevil Seed Bank, Sensi Seeds, Flying Dutchman, SSSC, or the like of any of those genetics, from then.
Also the Shunk Noodles gave my buddy, was Sativa Dominant. Huge, Long Donkey Dick Buds, that you could smell a block away. We never called it RKS.

The Skunk#1 and Super Skunk came after what was called Skunk by you american smokers, this is a known fact now that is well established and everybody interested in those genetics know what's the older version. Personally I'm from Europe and only had access to weed like Skunk#1 in the 90's, I started to smoke in the end 80's and in my country the majority of the market was hashish, I had access to very good import weed for a few years when I had a rasta community as neighbours, I had some Colombian, Thai, Congolese , Jamaican, all sorts of sativas from all over the world. Then I started to grow my own, got some Afghan#1 from Sensi Seeds in 95 because my grow partner wanted to grow this and nothing else, he didn't want any sativa genes is his grow so we quickly separate and I started to grow some Skunk#1, most of the plants had a lot of sativa traits once in flower, their transformation from wide leaf in veg to small blades leaves in bloom was extraordinary every time and a real surprise to witness; I have always loved those Skunk#1 and Super Skunk, I love lemony weed who will get me high and not stone to the bone. Each time I read about Skunk#1 precursor, the just Skunk I ask myself if i'd like this type of smell and I have to say the few times I found some really stinky plants they had some afghan genes, I've had some foul smell from some Jillybean as well are supposed to be made with an old Skunk female with orange smell but also some awful odors mixed with the orange.I doubt I'll encounter now the real ancestor of the Sk#1 but it makes curious about how I would react to its smell because to me it's hard to beat the mix of sweet and spice from the SK#1.
