Sam gave some excellent advice, many may not want to hear, selfing could be a valuable tool here, Sam did a helluva job breeding "rks" out of his preferred skunk line, perhaps looking into the recessives he did not manage to delete would be a road to wander down.
I'd be willing to bet it is sitting right there underneath it all... With open pollination it is not so easy to get rid of recessives as it is with a 1:1 cross, Sam already said there is still bits in there to be found.
If someone wants to pry those kilos out of his hands why not crowd source the cash and buy em up? The offer is right on the table. A few like minded guys should have not much issue doing that. We're all homies.
Tom Hill gave me some great advice have been working on, don't give a shit about what the next man is doing with his work! Focus on yours!
good idea. how do you set up crowd source?
You are right I do request landrace seeds, but I do not demand them from anyone, I never have and never will. Do you understand the difference? Maybe not?
I will not send a live seed to the USA, I never have and never will as it is illegal. It also protects the donators if they do send in live seeds to me, Phylos does not have the plants just the DNA.
I heard that Cheese was a Skunk #1 seed from the guy that named the Cheese in the UK. I have no idea what or when they were made I suspect pre clonal seeds but it is a guess. I think he said they were from Sinsi seeds but am not sure of that, and Sinsi seeds bought out Cannabis castle and so they may have made their own Skunk#1 seeds from mine, or sold mine, I have no idea.
I made many more Skunk#1 seeds here in the EU then I ever made in the USA, most were made from seed lines my favorite sweet ones from clonal lines they were both sold at the same time. Same with the other ones I have little idea as I spend hardly any time in the UK, where did they buy the Skunk #1 seeds they used? That would help me guess.

From what I can remember, the seeds where from the seedbank.
which would be when Nevil still owned it, late 80's.
For a quick rks search, you could s1 whatever clone and look within.
it has to in there to be found.
Any pre Amsterdam skunk would be a great place to start.
