Multi poly hybrid lines will always act like F2s showing many phenotypes, even in the F1 generation...
& technically...
True F1s are only produced by parent plants that have been stabilized for specific characteristics.
Landraces are not stable.

Yes that's true I was meaning cultivars and that if you start with a landrace cultivar you can then continuously map your genetics or as you say a true stabilised line ,
That's what I like about Landraces. They are variable and allow a person to select what they prefer
if they want. They aren't made up of two plants like probably what some strains being sold by seed
banks are.
I don't grow for yield and would hate to have all of my plants all the same.
That would be boring.
Genetic variation is a must for long term stability.

I am lucky, I was going to start my 50 skunk#1. All original, I held on to them due to space issues. All viable also.
I have been looking forward to this for a long time and have gathered so many nice cultivars I can use in the program.
To the future.

What year do those Skunk#1 seeds come from?
Are they pre-2000 and from which seed bank do they come from?
Do post pics please.

The Uncle Fester's Skunk #18 IBL male is spewing pollen over the aforementioned strains.
Here's the Black Lime Reserve at 29 days of flowering, with a bit of Green Crack on the bottom right.

this is what clones are for
part of the fun in cracking new seed is the hunt for something new

My 1984, from authentic, high end, 80's Southern California bag seed. This is quite likely an original Sativa leaning "sweet" Skunk #1, or close relative, as it is identical to the current Skunk #1, and also a dead ringer for the Pineapple strain. It also closely resembles Agent Orange.
This one is in vegetative growth, but there is also one of these in the flower room being seeded by the Uncle Fester's. I believe this once can produce the real Skunk, as it is no newer than 1985, which is before the Dam really started pumping out larger volumes of Skunk #1 that was sweet leaning.

Wow you got some fat bitches there mate , what kind of orange you getting sweet , sweet and Skunky or bitter orange all most grapefruit ?
Who gdg soz can't think properly right now just woke up after a heavy shatter sesh
Nice man really nice I totally love the old stuff crossed to new , the pineapple I have was crossed with the sensi breeding plant sk1 from be dronkers who gave the clone to my mate and the clone was from 1984
I used to smock her quite a bit . I guess it's the actual cutting that they all ways used for sk1 , tight even round skunk bids that tasted of deep fumey fruit with pineapples so probably similar to what you have , also when sensi released super bud I got like the first packs like number 15 released , they were very heavy pineapple skunk dom but also quite sativa in lots of phenos , I think the original sensi stuff was sweet and tropical and all the dirty skunks came around in 1989 with the release on super skunk ,
You got some really great potential genes there mate , be great to see those once they are done
That's wicked mate good luck with the festers crosses We should all mix our skunks together and have an icmag collaboration skunk strain , I'm open to sharing

Yeah me too I actually have lots of coffee shop collectors seeds from the dampkring guys they are 1986 skunk 1 and 1986 Friesland I planted the Friesland about 5 years ago just to see plants finished in 5 weeks with a descent yield forgot about those till now I must mess about with that strain some more , to many seeds so little time
Thanks man I'll get me some of those if they are still avalobe

As am I, but the Terms of Use prohibit that as I understand. If stuff can be shared the the Boutique or whatever, then I'm totally down with that. We really should make a seperate group out of the people who are truly working to resurrect Skunk, where those who are following each other's efforts don't have to bore everyone else. I'm new here, I see a lot of people get banned, so as long as we aren't pissing the bosses off, I'm open.
Yeah good point I would all ways send um in to admin if I was so do that , a skunk resurrection group would be great , I just went through my seeds today I've got quite a lot of sk1 seeds dating back 1986 on wards , sensi sk1 , Sam the skunk man ones from seeds man , all sorts to be honest wish I had more room and time right now ,

My first order from Neville was in 89, you're before me a bit with your old beans. Those old Skunks in your posession likely have something in there of our desired type. I'm telling you, working old genetics is years quicker than a full remake from scratch. No guarantee either way, but working these old lines is the surest bet. And really, this Uncle Fester's Skunk dates back to the 60's, so its original parent stock is older than Skunk #1 by a decade if all is on the up and up with the breeders claims. If I can't get something with the lines I'm working, then this will be tougher than I thought. Either way, I'm trying!
I had another thought about that skunks ass Yoda Cheese I'm smoking too. Thought I, "Lime Green, if this bud was the resulting effort of your desire to breed old Skunk, would you consider yourself successful?" The answer is Yes, if I only get that close, then it's a win. This flower is as close as I have been in 25 years.

Well I say you people play with existing stock to try and create something.
I'm going to bite the bullet and try to make something from scratch the hard
way. Either way, we'll all have fun trying I'm sure.
I also found original pack of northern light 5 haze sensi ones
I think with my uk pineapple cut and an orgianal super sk cut from 1990 and orgianal 1990 super skunk seeds plus those 1986 sk1s I'm pretty much set , I just got to convince my breeder partner to merit space for a skunk project , people are so obsessed with kush so to my pal
