Skunk One could it be done.

[acespicoli]

MTNMEN,

I have to agree with you about the 60s and there being some skunk around back then.I think I know the story your talking about them leaving for more friendly areas. With the skunk it's hard to find for sure and it's rare that you can get seeds or cuttings even from frinds that have it. I remember those seeds being tiger striped snd when grown out purple stripes on the stems having a smell of toffee when you rubbed the stems almost like coffee and a little skunky when they were small. It defiantly looked like the columbian gold in the bag huge lime green and sticky. Corky actually got my attention with his posts seems he's on the right track! I would be interested to see how that project turns out! Hardest part to find is the Acapulco Gold second best bet might be original haze? If I ever get my hands on more seeds I'm sharing to keep it going it's getting really rare! I'm really enjoying this post brings back some great memories!

I am not even remotely embarrassed to admit what i'd do to help bring back that line and keep it perpetually going. I am in both feet!

RKS smell is/was a recessive trait and very hard to 'fix'. Old Afghani lines would be a good place to start IMO. That and LARGE plant counts, by that I mean 100's or 1000's of plants to search through. I know several breeders have worked on RKS the last few years and I haven't seen/read/heard of anybody doing it yet.
Good luck on your project.

I second this .

I had a real life experience with a insanely strong smell once and I hope it translates well to Cannabis.

corky

There is few things I think are worthy of mention. I read the Colombian for whatever genetic reason prefers this method of crossing ..... Colombian x (Acapulco x Afghani) Also the best that I got had certain soil it was like a shale kinda soil >>>>Make sure the soil is warm, moist, and well-aerated. This will create the optimum environment for bacteria to convert the *sulfur* to sulfuric acid usable by the soil. <<<< just a idea I know its genetics and all!

I was wondering the sources and phenos ?

ghani#1 or Afghanica ? coffee pheno?

 

[jaded1]

Maybe take 1 of isp's afghans,a santa marta gold genotype from sams sugar haze but would struggle to find the Mexican!

Bodhi has Mexican.
I'm looking for a great Colombian gold to cross to my Afghani.
The one mentioned above sounds like a great place to start.
Are they still available @Sam?

Also, Reefermans Santa marta Columbian Gold, also fits the bill.
Anyone seen either for sale anywhere?

Super Sativa Seed Club - Skunk-Mexican Hybrid
M16
A classic example of a good Indica-Sativa cross. The male was an early consistent stinky skunk variety. The female was an early consistent Oaxacan Mexican Sativa. Early maturing Heavy yields of super potent, sticky buds. A real winner.


Im thinking this is the one I liked it is the stinky one ......finishes end of October up North
The sweet Skunk#1 has Thai in it just got done reading clips from
1989 SSSC Catalog

BC Gold sounds like what your looking for or love potion.
I hope some smcg shows up soon would be nice!

[acespicoli]

Nice clean flowers.
How does she smell? ..all sweet-skunk?
I have never grown any Sensi's Skunk strains

I think the problem finding this trait is most folk are just shuffling and crossing the commonly available strains . Well nothing commonly available is RKS

Just my opinion , But I have doubts the RKS is or was a 3 way hybrid . IMO I believe it can be found in some old school unsourced Ghanis or untouched BLD from Middle East . There is clearly genetics there not westernized, we see videos on YouTube and pictures from our military brothers but only a very very very small percentage seem to make it to breeders in our community. I can only think of Bodhi and reeferman who actually travel and aquire then work and sell landrace stock .

If I recall B said he was working a RKS, maybe something we see in the near future

Forget about old Skunk #1 seeds , your better off making S1 of Chem91 and digging threw those

@acespicoli Yea about 3 to 3.5 weeks more. She is really taking her time. but definitely worth the wait.

@Goatcheese It has that sweet skunk smell, really dank, kind of lemon pledge scent, The high is up, and happy. very good anti depressant. This was my first time growing anything Sensi. I had heard some bad stories, but when I went to Amsterdam, I wanted something old school, so sensi skunk #1..... Very happy with growing them. The yield was incredible. She has big buds all over. definitely something I will be keeping around for a while. The only drawback is that she takes a while to flower. 11.5 weeks

nice list!!!! I wonder how that mazari afghani would be....

 

[acespicoli]

Mazar-i-Sharif aromas of hash, juniper and orange
Also supposed to have pepper and sage I had a pepper pheno once it was very nice
spicy kinda like a spice cabinet smell peppery after taste


They are pretty!
May provide the pungent aromas in indica form the 84 black paki would be one to find

X18 like PTK is an old indica line derived from Pakistan import that was introduced to Northern California in the early 1980's. Bred for many years by my very able friend "the chemist".
X18 is pure, never outcrossed, and breeds true for many traits.
The unique sour apple/pear/citrus smell/flavor is very strong (far from subtle) and nearly fixed in the line.
70-80% of the line is characterized by this flavor, with the occasional extreme skunky phenotype as well.

 

[IM$]

That X18 sounds delicious...... sour apple pear...... now that would be something I would like to grow.
