I once grew an Afghani#1 years ago when I lived in my brother's house, I was asked not to grow any weed there, so tried to keep it secret by growing her on my window sill doing a mid summer light dep.
You could not see anything from outside because of a net curtain and knew no one would go in my room so thought I was cool.
She grew into a picture perfect indica and remained short as I did not veg her long,ended up about two foot, dinky lil' thing.
I came home one day and was told to " get rid of that plant, it's stinking the f*cki*g house out".
It may well have been an Afghani#1 you used to grow and referred too as Rks but let's not forget what Mtn Necter told us earlier in this thread, that he tended a sativa pheno Skunk#1/ Rks that gave golf ball nugs and stunk from sprout to cure.
Ive smoked rks as late as 2006 in MI.
in a hick town south of grand rapids
Made me trip.. Had sensations like i was on a rollercoaster.. And i completely dissasembled an RV lighting fixture without realizing i had done it. Still trying to find that. Beans are around
One nug Triple bagged went thru a houses ventulation system and made the whole house smell within 10 minutes of being in the house.

Just tried to hit up the dudes son today, hes a pissy little bitch. I offered his arthitic dad a pound for some old seeds if he had them and he refused to even ask him, says no one cares about weed and grow up.
I told him to go enjoy his job at a glorified conveinance store

Go see the the dad in person it sounds like. those beans are worth it possibly.
I want to say that Afghani #1 was the skunkiest, the reek skunk scent. As Sam S said, he bred the original Skunk #1 for sweetness, probably leaning toward the Sativa (NLD) side.
Skunk #1 had a strong aroma, once crushed it filled a room or space quickly, however it would be tricky to call it a true "skunk spray" scent unless you can I.D. the sweetness in that. For lack of better words the term Skunk #1 could have been changed until later when Sam said it became more Indica/Afghani in scent, deeper, like a sick, sad skunk.
Road-Kill? Maybe that's it. That term wasn't around in 1979 or at least Rob Clarke never used it when he visited our gardens and saw Skunk #1 in the wilds of Arizona. We never got a chance to get any finished buds back to Clarke. That would be the clincher if we had.
I always identified with Skunk #1 as being sooo much more fragrant than even the dankest (another recent term) Colombian. Up til the time I met Clarke, the heaviest scents that I had experienced were from Colombia. My dear old Colombian friend Peter, AKA, Gerardo, AKA Johnnie, had access to the finest stash-quality Colombo and some of it expressed truly jungle, rich, dark aromas that were comparable to bass notes in the perfume world. Skunk #1 had that same overwhelming potent scentability but was a top note, the zone where sweetness resides.
A sweet Skunk smell would be fragrant like musk, like patchouli, more than a skunk spray. The skunk spray scents that came later or were present already in strains like Afghani #1 were just a different zone. Sam and Rob could have called it Sweet Musk #1, but would anyone understand?
Man I wish I had been hip to genetics back then and had the foresight to have frozen some seeds. I am just unraveling the visual aspect by beginning the task of getting slides from back then digitized. I just had 100 slides converted by a reliable source in Gilbert, Arizona, DigMyPics.com. If you go that route, make sure your digital conversion company does it all onsite. Many companies send your slides overseas to cheap labor countries to do the scanning and conversion. These slides have been in my safe for over 35 years and there is no way I want them sent any place that has the risk of loss. One-Of-A-Kind means just that.
Colombian varieties - 1978 - Some didn't reach maturity by the end of November when it was snowing on the canyon rim above
This company has a "Chain-Of-Custody" system that keeps your pics or slides safe from the moment they open your parcel (send it signature required whether by mail, UPS, or FEDEX). One technician is assigned your job and is responsible from start to finish. When the scans are done you can look at them online and decide which ones you want printed. You even get to drop up to 20% of the scanned slides without having to pay for them. At .39/slide, unless they weren't first high-graded by you, just get them all done. I waited for years to do this. There is another nice company, a bit more expensive, in Utah that looked good until this company came along. The thought of sending weed photos to Mormon-land kept me from sending the slides of weed gardens. Arizona is a medical state so it feels much cooler. Besides, I have nothing to hide on the Guerrilla grow level anymore.....it was over 35 years ago and the physical slides show it.
The bulk of these first 100 slides were from my first two years of Madjag Canyon gardens, before Skunk #1 came about. I have probably 500 slides to do but I culled through them, selected 100, with maybe 30 from the later Skunk years. It was a test to make sure that this company did what they say they do, and they did. Now that I know I feel safe sending off more slides.
I will post more as I get them done. I have three 2" x 2" Hasselblad format negatives of just our best colas laid out on dark velvet. Those pics will give an idea of the density of the Skunk #1 colas, which honestly isn't much different than the nice ones you see on ICMag today. The small buds though, even larf buds, were solid no matter what size they were. The rolled like nice marbles if you were getting high and playing games.
I get those same effects from Cheese.
(very)Trippy, happy, stupid.
Even in a bag 3 grams made the whole house smell like i sparked a joint -- even caused in argument in the family (visiting parents who condemn cannabis).
Has anyone tried growing Cheese under different conditions?
;-)
Ive been considering doing this for years..
I just dont know where the line is in this situation.
Havent seen the man for almost a decade.. Ik where he lives tho.
Ive smoked plenty of cheese, blues and livers.. definitely not the same but ik what you mean about the loudness.

The dukes didn't share their source with me personally, they just said it was an older player that's out of the game and was active in the 80's. They weren't name dropping to me. They did, however, reveal their source to Josh d and Matt bubba, who are now offering up all their unreleased cuts to try and get vic's rks cut now that they know who it came from. It was good. Really fucking good. Like, gave me a panic attack while I was falling asleep with food in my mouth good.
I would have to agree with you on the hunch that rks and the chem family are related. I think that nasty strong terpene profile came from the afghan/paki lineage that seems to be a commonality between og, diesel, and the chem fam. At this point, we know og is not descendent of chem, cuz they were found around the same time, so it's only logical that they share some lineage, maybe a common ancestor. I think if we really wanna find the terpene profiles to recreate the rks on a massive scale, we need to scour the middle east for landraces that don't smell sweet and hashy. Somewhere over there someone is still working with genes that are stinky skunky pungency, hopefully, and they're probably just not sharing it. Between bodhis work with the sterling skunk and the dukes now working with an rks cut, I think the community is in for a breakthrough soon
Right on thanks for the information. I would be interested to know also if you recall the Afghani #1 to be super dense buds with not much leaf, and basically an Indica? I have a picture of our old "skunk" in super early flower outside here, this is of the clone we got in 1980 from Cali but taken in i believe 2003.
Interesting that the seeds are Indian, not indica.
I know the term was used to decribe Indian weed by some old timers.
Unless they where indica from India but I think they are mostly (what was known as )Sativa
Sam, what where the original mothers? ( for these Indian/indicas)
Seems a bit confused?
@HMK, looks like an Affi. Nice looking plant.

A few items of business for serious Skunk Bud hunters.
A few weeks ago, Super Skunk in Portland was reported to be "it". I, (age 47, very familiar with 80's California Skunk) sent my brother (age 29, never smoked true Skunk) to pick some up, as yhere was one place in town that had the Gnome Farms SueThe buds looked promising in the photo he sent, because they were virtually hairless, and the original Skunk was frosty as hell, but not covered in "hairs" of any color. He got home, smoked it, and sent his ongoing report through the early stages of the high.

Accidentally posted before done.
His exact words "It's stinky, but Skunk is not the only element. It also has a Pine Sol taste"
I believe that like the Chems, it's in the ballpark, but real Skunk was quite one dimensional. If there was ANY top notes to it other than Skunk, Madjag saying "musk" is probably a good secondary description.

Dam, you spilled the beans. Now it will be a mad rush to get a bag and it will sell out even quicker. I can vouch I smoked it and if its not RKS it's as close as I have came to it in 19 years.
I have some slides from the 70’s that I’ve always wanted to have upgraded. Always been leery though since I live in a non-legal state. I used to shoot a lot of slides basically because of the expense but also because it was a more automated process as far as development. Now I’ll have to dig them up. Thanks for the tip.
Still kind of leery though yet they are from 35-40 years ago.
@Betterhaff
I know the feeling.
You should weigh the odds of who and what you do.
If you have nothing that can really bring you down then get a "clean" friend to send them. No worries that way.

Fuck Point Break and all the boring Hollywood remakes and knock offs, fuck weed comedies also, that's been played out! I want a good fucking weed movie, something real, like the stories I read on here. What happened to writing a good weed movie like the one nobody has seen "The Money Tree" that movie MADE me want to grow weed!!!
