Many thiols have strong odors resembling that of garlic or rotten eggs. Thiols are used as odorants to assist in the detection of natural gas (which in pure form is odorless), and the "smell of natural gas" is due to the smell of the thiol used as the odorant. Thiols are sometimes referred to as mercaptans (/mərˈkæptæn/)[3] or mercapto compounds,[4][5][6] a term introduced in 1832 by William Christopher Zeise and is derived from the Latin mercurio captāns ('capturing mercury')[7] because the thiolate group (RS−) bonds very strongly with mercury compounds.[8]

Addition of hydrogen peroxide to the reaction mix accelerated the reaction significantly,

Because some lactobacilli are known to produce hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which can be toxic to organisms that produce little or no H2O2-scavenging enzymes (e.g., catalase), we postulated that an absence of H2O2-producing Lactobacillus species could allow an overgrowth of catalase-negative organisms,

Anthocyanins have been used in organic solar cells because of their ability to convert light energy into electrical energy.[63]

Even post-harvest considerations can change the terpene profile, especially the smaller, more volatile hemiterpenes and monoterpenes [40]. More qualitative and quantitative studies are needed to comprehensively profile the terpenes found in cannabis and how those concentrations relate to expression levels and functionality of the CsTPS. 2022

A certain volatile fatty acid (terpene), isovaleric acid (also known as isopentanoic acid), is responsible for the pungent sour cheese smell in various cannabis varieties.Jul 7, 2023

Skunk No. 2 is an mostly indica from The Seed Bank and can be cultivated indoors and outdoors The Seed Bank's Skunk No. 2 is/was never available as feminized seeds.

The Seed Bank Description​

Released 1985 via Nevilles seed catalog

For simplification, I've decided to call this batch of seeds of SK 2. This is the exact same genetic material as SK 1, but pollination has occurred randomly between plants of the same strain. It will certainly produce plants of the same quality as SK 1, but because there was no selection, these seeds will be sold at a lower price. Great value if your budget is limited.

[acespicoli]

think we should call this gal sugar ?
This current project is the first in the last 11 years that gives me hope.
Pheno's all over the place, but its in there... a funk you would not believe
Almost every single one has a indescribable palette to it that's special.

Sire Male lines and clones have kept it intact. Hybrids have lost it all in the last 30 years (the ones I have tried)
One of SamS 20 year old Skunk males did hit a cheese clone and that line is waiting... not sure how its gonna come out in the F2's

Honestly at this point it looks like its gonna take 3 lines to re-create the buzz
Time will tell...

Alaska Cannabis Cache Description
Originally sourced by Dirty Jim in the early 80s in Mendocino California at Fort Bragg California this stinker certainly lives up to its name, it got many folks who grew her out in the 80s and 90s busted, Lime green colored buds with Orange hairs glisten with trichomes and stank to high hog heaven, this one is a bit harsh on the pallet but puts out a heady punch to the head, watch out for 80s style munchies, this one gives it in spades not a daywrecker just a great old school commercial strain that is nowdays hard to find due to its reputation of narcing out its growers
