i know hundreds of people who would say the rks we had in b.c. was the best of any pot they smoked, going back to 1970ish. so you must have had some shitty copy.

Lol! I think that comment was, by design, made to stir shit hehheh!
Let's not get into an argument here, about personal taste. Cause that's where I see this ending up. One mans trash is anothers treasure. For me, the weed wasn't as super potent, blow your mind like some of the Hazes I've tried over the years. No no......it's the fondness of the memories I have attatched to the smell, and the taste, that tips the scale for me. Like the first time I banged suzie in the back seat, after we smoked a big fat J of some skunky ass skunk. Or the time, I fell in the creek, because I was being an ass trying to make everybody else fall in, by bouncing up and down on the bridge that went over it lol! I smoked some skunk before I did that too hehheh!.
We're looking for that smell and taste man. It has very little to do with the potency. Which I would give a solid 7 btw. You cant base your argument here on potency alone. There's way more to it than that.

40 yrs old is the new old person? Damn kids these days. I guess I'm an oldie now... I love the UK cheese. It's no rks, but sure has a wonderful flavor and smell. Nice change of pace in the high department too. Still, damn...40 is old? * as I relight this uk cheese joint*

Hiya Hashmasta no i don't have any crappy sk like i sed mate some was good some was okay i look at sk like good commercial cannabis as it will yield good and come in basically fast.
Some were being grown out in greenhouses here and were yielding large i think for me the best of all the skunk lines i saw were the lite green sk with orange hairs and the blue sk which was a almost black looking flower with no hair very afi like flower structure they were my picks of all the sk i saw from say early 80s to say mid to late 90s.
Brother_Monk hit on an interesting note the smell of sk the smell of a joint burning could be noticed easy had a different smell to other mj burning.
If you think sk was the most potent you did not smoke wat was being smoked in the 70s and 80s even sam sed he rather smoke haze or a good sativa to sk.
i am not sure about the most potent. i never said that did i. i said the BEST. overall, the best pot. i cant think of one single person i ever met who wouldnt choose it over anything else available. my parents and their friends said it kicked ass royally, and also my young friends and their buddies all said the same thing. when i moved into town, everyone in the area came to knew the strain as *****'s skunk. it was number one for all who tried it. people would say; if it aint skunk, its bunk. you definitely must have not had the real deal, if you dont share the love and adoration for it that i do.
and yes i was smoking in the 70's and 80's, as well as my dad and his friends. they say there were a few early imports that rivalled the skunk its true, but not very well. just a few real gems. grey cambodian, thaiweed and PR were a few that come to mind. but only the early days, before the foreign farmers became exploited and commercial.

No point arguing with you guys as you are right and any one with a different vue is rong or old or don't smoke often inuf to know quality.
If you guys think sk was the best mj you get back then you did not get the best at that time like i sed sk was good commercial grade cannabis but there was better and i also belive theres better still available today.
I have a few sk lines like i sed 1 line i had to stop growing indoors as it stinks to much to risk growing it often and i would bet you it would come close if not match what you call rks i also have blue sk and red hair sk and a few others like i sed yes there good but a well selected old version of KaliMist to name just 1 line would be as good if not better and im being nice here infact km would blow it out of the water in potency.
Like i sed before if your not finding good plant lines from todays available lines your not growing the right seed.

i have a few of the best strains available today, and have tried many that i have discarded too. i have a friend who is a commercial grower and i give him cuttings occasionally. so far out of king, bubba kush, god bud and love potion(reefs cut), he sez the bubba kush sells the best. it is pretty darn nice, but the origional skunk from 1980 we got as a clone from cali easily KICKS its ass. he agrees too of course. as he used to grow it as well.
Dalaihempy said:
you cant believe that you never saw the good stuff?
and also, we did get the best at the time, no question. i saw one of the very first shipments of thaistick ever into vancouver. some of my elders had really good connects back in the days. i remember seeing like 50 pounds of hash at 8 yrs old. (1976). they used to get import stuff before it became crappy in the 80's. there was some astounding pot, like i said in a previous post.

Fact - RKS was dropped because it was inferior to Sweet Skunk.
In some peoples minds it seems they've built up this story that RKS is the be all end all of all strains. When in fact it's more like Monk said, you're getting it for the smell and taste.
If T2U doesn't want to spend another dollar on seeds. Whatever, that's his business. But if he's trying to stay away from mediocre plants, RKS is not for him. Unless, like Monk said, he wants it for the smell and taste.

I suggest you get your facts straight before you make statements like that. The fact is, it was bred towards the sweet side, because of one mans taste. Not because it was inferior by any means. He simply preferred the sweet pot. And bred towards that end.Wunderkind said:

Dalaihempy, remember the name of this thread you are posting in? It's a fan club bro. That's why T2U started this thread in the first place. We love the skunk and remember it fondly. I'm sure it was also an attempt to shine the light on the old RKS, in hopes that someone would stumble upon it, realize how much we love it and perhaps someone out there who still has it, would see this and get it back to the community. I don't think the spirit of this thread was to argue about better strains than RKS. Because it's all subjective. What's the best for one, may be shit to another. Can we keep it on track about the love for skunk please?

I highly doubt it was one single mans taste that made the decision.Brother_Monk said:I suggest you get your facts straight before you make statements like that.

Why was it bred to the sweet side? Because it was better. Inferior is a strong word, but when they thought Sweet was better, RKS was deemed inferior.
hey whats up hempy? you argue in this RKS thread just like you argued in the Kush threads thinking you know what your talking about.
sorry man but all the old people and chicks i've smoked my cheese with love it...but most my friends that run alot strains and have variety only thinks the cheese smoke is ok....nice plants but only decent smoke....but it's most of their older friends and gf's favorite...so like i said cheese is a nice strain for old people and chicks....i just call it how i see it.
on the seed thing....i've put my research in and listened to hyped strains to order for long enough...the fact of the matter is the beans some of my friends and I make are always better then the strains i've ordered...its funny out of all my strains i'd label as keepers none of them are of the 50 strains i've spent top dollar on ordering beans....but i got some keepers from seed that my friends and i have made for free....so why would i bother with ordering beans anymore? there's some breeders out there that put out some good gear and there are people out there that rely on them for genetics...but for me i'd rather take a friends word over a "breeders" description...i have some friends on here that are breeders that i could take their words but for the most part "breeders descriptions" of their strains are laughable after you grow them out.
wunderkind you should put down the haterade and do some reading and research...quit sending me messages tellin me what kind of beans i should order...don't be hurt cause i don't like to order beans anymore...if you think reeferman is the bomb and has this killer skunk order it up...me i'll pass...is that ok with you?
lets pretend RKS was really skunk#1 sam bred it towards the sweet side..he prefered the sweet taste and less of a knockout buzz....so that makes it better?
personally i like my buds to wreek, have full flavor, and have a killer buzz...if you take a peek around the forums you'll notice which one is really prefered.

man, you said in the wish list all you wanted was RKS. I was just trying to help you out. Whatever, dude, you yourself need to put that haterade down.
so was Sam a hermit? He never allowed any type of input along the way? It was just his opinion that has made most all current Skunk seeds sweet? Right....
oh yeah, show me the RKS clone that is as highly regarded as the Sweet Skunk clone is.
Good luck

iv always dropped in and read this thread as it has progressed, and have always been so sad to see so few pictures even though i have enjoyed some of the long discussions.
its been quite some time since iv seen anything remotely resembling or smelling/tasting like RKS, but i do have some good buddies who pop out some oldschool skunk beans here andthere and its always a treat.
i have some pictures of a thunderskunk pheno i grew out, im sure someone else could fill you in on this strain alot more if they want to
the particular pheno i grew out was a very light pleasant hitting smoke. 2 weeks into cure it was immeadiately a favorite morning smoke, great cerebrel high, left you feeling lifted. I will be sampling this strain again after a 6 month cure, 2 months with tops being popped 4 months sealed in mason jars.
i have been away for 6 months, so i will be able to give a nice report on 2 weeks cured, vs 6 months, i will have a 10 strain like up ill probly do in the smoke report but anyways moving on to some pictures of the thunderskunk!!
>>
i also grew out some hindu kush x skunk , a pheno circulated in cali and it is a sturdy , well perportioned lil lady, and i had great luck growing her outdoors.

its true...the only strain i really need anymore is a real RKS....i got everything else i need especially for breeding and making my own stock.
you can argue to yourself all you want wunderkind...i already have stated 100's of times i don't think RKS is skunk#1 or any fake skunk on the market....your just jumpin on the ship now on things we've already known for yrs....if there was a real RKS cut around you can bet it would be 1 of the most sought after cuts around...u should read this thread or other forums if u think different....it's funny that most the people around have grown and have had the best strains on the planet and still say they wish they had some RKS....i don't see any of them running out to get any skunk#1.
DIMEBAG....what up brother....long time no chat....how are ya? nice plants you did a great job on your outdoors last season....i'm glad them thunders turned out nice for ya...they turned out pretty good up here too.

reeferman has a rks he calls it double skunk.

heres my current version: a seed from the bc rks variety. which i am believing after some thought and info gained to be the skunk x afghani skunkman sold back then as well. equally great pot imo. we saw both types, but only had the cross as a clone. someone else had a much more sativa version which i am assuming was the pure skunk. anyhow heres my mom.
