I think what were looking for is the initial A Gold x with the Mazar from Sandy Weinstein's pictures in the Skunk thread.
That A gold was the hybrid used in the cross supposedly & it has the cheese phenotype what is what we're proimarily looking for. The real F1's .
A Gold was already hybridised & stabilised to current climatic conditions so it says.
Your right in that it's likely C Gold genes but it was already worked on by the time it was pollinated by an Afghan. Many likes of 1-1 would have been made & sold as skunk but not from this cross. What Sam calles his skunk. I suspect this is one of the clones Sam used & keeps to this day & is patented.
He made the reciprocal labled skunk x both ways, this is how we know it was the Afghan that was skunky as hell Kopite

sam...was the afghan or columbian you used really skunky as hell to begin with?
peace
The Afghan was.

Of course CHEESE is close, it was bred by me, named by others, it was Skunk #1 seeds that grew CHEESE.

I called all versions Skunk #1 they were all from the same genepool Afghan / Colombian X Acapulco Gold, just selected for different end goals. I never called any Skunk #1 RKS that name popped up long after Skunk #1 was introduced in 1976 (people did say it smelled like a dead run over skunk near a grow).
THERE WERE NO FOUNDING MEMBERS OF SACRED SEEDS, JUST ME!
And I have never met any Sandy Wienstien, ever.
Early Girl was not bred by Sandy Wienstien, and Durban Poison South Arican was developed by me alone, then I took it to Amsterdam. The same with Afghani #1, me alone. And I made up using #1, #2, #3, as I had so many imported seed lines I did not name them until I used them to make seeds, instead of just trialing them.

He did the cross both ways Kopite..
I assume that the move to Acapulco with the genetics was to allow the Afghan to grow. To allow that initial cross to be made & homogenise flowertimes..
I'll ask him when he comes back online.
We should ask direct if "Afghan / Colombian X Acapulco Gold" was the only way it was made or if the way he has wrote the genetics involved in that cross were for ease. & in what order they were individually created & established & why that was so.
He has collated his seeds as he says in the Ancestral skunk thread so we should have some dates to these different lots available.
Almost correct, (Colombian x Mazar) x (Mazar x Colombian) and the result (Colombian/MazarXMazar/Colombian)square x Acapulco gold.

Cheers mate, although I have that poster already
Maybe we should stop bothering Sam about his Skunk-line and just be satisfied what he has said about it many, many times already. There's plenty of info out there, like in those quotes Kopite posted above.He did the cross both ways Kopite..

What "half truths", Dave?Who's bothering Sam? Maybe if the was some straight line & not all the 1/2 truths shit wouldn't backfire
Only people who don't wash their member berries get the cheese terpeneCheese smells like Member Berries
It would be clear cut if there was evidence for him to back up such bold claims. Maybe a thesis on what happened in his own words like a thread rather than lil snippits here & there would set the record straight if he can remember.
It would seem it's you with the memory issue not him!, like GC states it has been posted time and time again from SamS yet it seems people choose to believe otherwise. Post 303....

I'm interested in the science behind his decisions. He's not very expressive since he boasts as much as he does Not like others.
I read loads on the Skunkman & I am not dissing him i'm just curious as to the outcomes & statistics @ each stage of the breed.
Basically Why..
A breeding goal.
I've never seen him openly say what the goal of the Breed was. There has been folks suggest that it was a collective effort but Sam denies this..
I've read all that and need more..
just walked past local shops ,it reeked of cheese ,suicide cut i think
