@JayWilly How did those turnout? I’ve got a pack I want to pop. I really want to grow them inside though but on the csi website he says some stability issues may occur inside.Sterling skunk topped and tied down
I ran them a few weeks into bloom and decided to ditch them. Most had no smell to them a few were extremely leafy so I decided it wasn't worth my time to go any further with them. I got chemdog D running now along with some ghost og ,uk cheese and mendo fire and they all smell more than those sterlings ,I did only run half a pack tho so maybe running more would uncover something better.@JayWilly How did those turnout?

Ah, that’s too bad. I’ll probably pop them next and see what’s up.I ran them a few weeks into bloom and decided to ditch them.

keep us posted! thanksI’ve got 3 sterling skunks going right now in veg. Two females and one male. Both females smell pretty acrid, with one being more promising than the other. The male however is very rank and extremely greasy/sticky. Handling the male stem or leaves makes your fingers feel like you just squeezed a fresh flower. So far, these are the “skunkiest” plants I’ve grown. I am eager to see how this translates to flower.
Will do! I’m taking clones now. Once rooted, I will flower the moms and collect pollen from the dad.keep us posted! thanks
That’s my plan with my pack of sterling skunk. I’ll make a repro with all the males and females to increase fur myself, going to start that next run and I’m going to save some X-18 pollen from this run to put on them. Just flowering out the x-18 right now so probably do that pollinating next run as well.Yeah sounds like the strain needed some work, but the skunky ones are in there. Kaleb from Humboldt CSI had a recently released interview with @Heavy Dayze on the Potcast and talked about them being not a great stand alone line, but a rather building block for a good hybrid. He recommended crossing them with something like Deep Chunk to help them grow better and bring out the terpenes.
Have a batch going, check them out, about to start flowering!
I kept 1 clone of a male sterling skunk that had the structure i perfer. I might use it down the road on one of my stinky females to see what comes out of the cross . Right now it's just gonna sit In the corner.I’ve got 3 sterling skunks going right now in veg. Two females and one male. Both females smell pretty acrid, with one being more promising than the other.

How’s the stem rub on your male? I’m bad at describing smells, but mine is sorta dead meat and compost. Also he’s very greasy.I kept 1 clone of a male sterling skunk that had the structure i perfer.

Stem rub on my clone is Slightly skunky . I kept the most vigorous male. He was the tallest and had the darkest leaves that were almost shiny like he also started flowering first. When I first ran these I was gonna do a repo of this line but using 2 skunky phenos to narrow it down but those plans changed. My winning sterling female wasn't very skunky so I decided to ditch that project.How’s the stem rub on your male? I’m bad at describing smells, but mine is sorta dead meat and compost.

For geographies sake, the mad river is located in Northern California. I had property that ran along that river. Miss that place.I was gifted a pack of seeds called Mad River Valley skunk from an area in Vermont I think where there's a ski area and before I got an opportunity to pop them somebody broke into our every vehicle at our job site overnight and everything was taken they even took the ashtrays out of three trucks believe it or not I don't I don't know, I grew up really enjoying those old skunk king of ours I do just about anything to be able to have them in my stable constantly growing that I could open pollinate and just take down a line to see what's there
Rest in peace goat and monkeyif i recall correctly, Goat & Monkey seeds acquired them and passed some along to CSI and bodhi and possibly to StrayFox too.
