Real Skunk Wanted

[FireIn.TheSky]

and if there were truly "Plenty" of skunk smelling expressions currently out there, perhaps the demand for a REAL skunk smelling strain would not be so high? i've been unable to find any TRUE skunk smelling expressions that compared to the real deal (last seen/smoked by myself personally sometime around 2004 in the SE USA).

I agree, stinky strains yes, true skunk smelling strains NO. Jericho is just doing what Jericho does, poo pooing just about everything. If you'd comment on the lovely blue sky he'd insist its green, there is no winning.

If a real skunk smelling plants were so abundant no one would be looking for it.

OG, chem, sour diesel etc... stinky to high heaven but they are not skunk.

People are always looking for something. That's what they do....even when it's based in subjectivity....like the sense of smell or memories....or hearsay.

Does skunk aroma transition over to flavor? Do you even know? What does a REAL skunk expression taste like? Is it even any good?

You have no idea....but you'll believe anything...and find time to fling the shit. That's you

I think you're barking up the wrong tree, you can't recreate what never was. IMO I think what ever the skunky strain was, it was some sort of mexican, most people report finding that sort of terpene in mexican import.

There's a mexican Sativa in it's pedigree and this has been mentioned all over the Internet if you looked it up.

 

[RoyalFlush]

Almost all true Mexican is fruity or hazzy, but I strongly believe killer mexican skunk (not sk#1) came from crossing Mexican with afghani, shit I wouldn't be surprised if Chem was Some Kind of Acapulco gold/ Mexican sative x old school skunky Afghan.

Kush isn't a skunk also cheese has no ceiling, I could smoke it from the moment I wake up to the moment I decide to sleep whereas you can't do that with any real kush imo

I agree with a lot that you say and there are varieties I could put on the table that would sit next to your Kush's but this is a skunk thread and you say yourself you don't know if you have ever smoked a real psychosis or a real cheese.......

So what skunks do you smoke?

.

That is what I meant, cheese can be smoked infinitely where a proper kush will give you that headbang stone.

I am sure you could put some varieties on the table that would sit next to the kush. There are many loud headbang genetics about. Sorry for brining the kush into the skunk thread guys...my bad!

I have not smoked a skunk in a while to be honest, the last skunky strains I grew out were cheese and LA cheese, that was about a year and a half ago.

How the hell are people still speculating that the strain wasn't skunk? Where do you think the name for skunk came from? Sam grew some plants, they reeked of skunk, he named them skunk. End of story.

Then he bred out the stink, and went towards the sweet side. This is pretty much accepted as how it went down.

Just to put the chances of even finding a skunky smelling plant in an attempted recreation is a long shot. It does not work like that. Just because you have some strains with names close to what was used to breed the first hybrid, does not mean you will even be close. If you had the original parents you would be hard pressed to recreate the original. Sam grew 10,000 MALES! So the same results out of a few 10 packs is almost comical.

But like I said, you will have some fantastic herb to test and sort through so go for it, just don't expect to come remotely close to skunk bud, sweet or skunky.

Best bet would to be to actually start with Skunk #1 and cross to affie, or mex, or lumbo. See what comes of that. Then at least you would have skunk genetics in there.

Whoever said that it wasn't all about the stink was right on. It was the stone and the flavor that made it so good. Remember, back then it wasn't cool to fucking stink up a place with a bag in your pocket, that was called prison time. Trust fund growers don't understand that.

Anyway best of luck to y'all on your projects. I am done with this subject. People still trying to spin stories and 100's of pages of nonsense when the truth is plain as day.

Sam bred the strain. Sam has the seeds. The strain won't be back until if or when Sam decides to break out. I would not hold my breath.

Here is a Skunk bud just to add some color to this thread.

OK folks... I've cleaned the thread ...AGAIN, this one thread is becoming a problem, and requiring to much attention to squash the nonsense...

keep ALL post skunk : otherwise, U will be done @ icmag, these childish games need to stop

Hey..
Why were my last posts taken out of this thread, cause they actually were about Skunk#1 and nothing else? ..human error?

 

[corky1968]

I don't know GoatCheese.

Good Luck

Hey yortbogey, what i told was 100% true. No joke at all. That was my only rxperience with a skunky weed and I thought it would be a good idea to share this, i have told the same thing in an other thread similar to this one. I was just trying to help. I really dont know why you thought my post deserved to be deleted. But anyway, good luck to all finding the same stuff i one day have found.

 

[redlaser]

probably collateral damage with the posts.

 

[corky1968]

Well I just ordered some more seeds for my special project.
It will be a few weeks before I receive them but that's fine.
I'll be busy for a while anyways and buying new seeds is fun.

Cheers people.

 

[FireIn.TheSky]

What'd u buy? Or what exactly are u planning on using that u think will yield the same results as genetics from almost 40 years ago?

With the absolute billions of genetic possibilities it's kind of far fetched to think you could hit the genetic lottery in such a way.

You probably have better odds getting struck by lightning twice or winning the lottery.

With absolutely zero proof that skunk 1 was ever skunky it's like trying to recreate some thing that probably never was. Skunky skunk 1 is like a unicorn or the loch Ness monster, lots of fun fairy tales with no tangible evidence.

 

[corky1968]

What'd u buy?

Some Colombian Gold and a Special Afghani.

I'm not worried about winning any lottery.

 

[FireIn.TheSky]

In this old sacred seeds catalog skunk 1 is listed as sweet this is why I just don't believe it.

 

[FireIn.TheSky]

Here is another old catalog with skunk 1, this one says it's afghani, Columbian and thai.

referred to again as sweet.

Hey dude, u may not believe that a skunky strain really exist, but im sure it does. I, myself, have smoked it, and what a smoke. What corky is trying to do is actually a great idea. I have been thinking about this. Take a good sativa and cross it with a pure skunky afghan(where this smell comes from), then u should just make your pheno selection. The thing is: what afghan strain are u going to use, corky?

Well..
I'll just repost the info-bits from Sam about Skunk#1, cause many people don't seem to know all these.


- Which plant gave Skunk the legendary smell:

"sam...was the afghan or columbian you used really skunky as hell to begin with?"

The Afghan was.

Here's few bits of info regarding the breeding of Skunk #1 and about the Afghan used in Skunk#1:

From which region of Afghanistan did the 'Afghan' in 'Skunk #1' come from?"

Mazar, but then crossed with a Columbian, then selfed, then the hybrid crossed with Acapulco Gold to make it a bit earlier.

EDIT/ADDITTION:
..had abit more info saved in a another thread, but i forgot it earlier

Here's what Sam wrote when asked about the Mazari x Colombian hybrid in Skunk#1:

"By selfed do you mean you made feminised Mazar x Colombian seeds then crossed one of these females to an Acapulco male?"

No one made feminized seeds until after 1990, I selfed the MazarXColombian hybrids to other MazarXColombian hybrids. This was in the early 70's.
