That's fantastic, If I'm not mistaken i was under the assumption the Skunk #1 was fairly homogeneous but do you think the 'ancestral' stock is very different?
Sam said they were kept in a fridge 4 degrees C or about 40 F

Let me clarify a misperception - these seeds were reproduced on a 2 acre plot in Europe from the seeds imported from California -these are not the made-In-California seeds! These are a relative open pollination with roguing to remove off-types of both females and males, derived directly from planting the seeds from California. Rob Clarke and Sam walked the fields and pulled the un-selected males and off-type females themselves, if memory serves these were from a project one in 91-93, but I will have to check with Sam and Rob to confirm the exact dates, I wasn't there. As far as scent goes, of course this is not going to be a narrow pool with a single genotype for smell, being an open pollination, there are going to be a range of scents, from skunk to sweet.
Sam is too busy trying to undo his mistakes from the past. Busy praying in church. Remember everything you ever heard from that phony. Because we be sequencing genomes and shit these days, all these pioneers of legal weed, the literal rapists and thieves, all children of prohibitionists, none of their stories add up. Yay science!
We grew lots of skunk in the 90's. I had some old seed and some popped 2006-2009 and I grew out some great plants. Lost the clones in a fire and the rest of the seeds did not pop. What a plant!
