IBL stands for "inbred line"
Afropips explains it nicely:
An inbred line is a seedlot that has been bred for generations while selecting repeatedly for specific traits to the point where the population reliably reproduces the traits under selection in each successive generation of breeding. These plants are said to breed true for these characteristics.
There is lttle or no variation for these traits, which are thus considered pure.
Inbred lines make the best breeding stock as the progeny of crosses using
known pure parental lines have a predictable outcome in subsequent generations.
Inbred lines are uniform in growth patterns & traits & are stable genetically
which means:-
Each generation of inbred seed results in plants similar in most ways to the previous generation.
Your Skunk should flower like...well....a Skunk
The IBL tacked on to the name doesn't tell you if a strain will flower slower or faster. Calculate standard flowering times for Skunk, or tack on 7 days more or less to the estimated flowering time written on the breeders pack or strain description to get a more realistic flowering time.

IBL = In Bred Line which means the breader has worked the seeds to assure almost clone plants, ie all look and produce the same. It has no effect on grow time, except that what ever the breeder says it ripens in sould be right on.

actually ibl does affect grow time, due to less vigour
Good choice on your order. Can't go wrong with an IBL, especially HTC's Skunk.
grow girl nice strain selection....do you already have your seeds? you should do a much needed grow thread of the skunk ibl....mine are on there way in the mail! from my experience ibl's do grow slower in veg, but i've only grown 2 ibls... i don't know if an ibl skunk would be the same since it's a really fast growing plant....flower time isn't slower.

Internet IBL =
strains like Kona Gold. a F1 Hybrid, inbred on the Big Island for decades.
until little-to-no variation is realized. we are talking one or two phenotypes to be displayed here.
This takes many many years like 15+ imhfo like bub's skunk
If reservoir seeds IBL is as good as its looking, id venture to classify that, and of course ANY of bub's IBL labeled lines as just that, an IBL. rez has been working (indoor) on his for a few years now, at least 4, thats a decent amount of generations. most references to IBL are for outdoor folks so it takes longer) inbred, to the point of hardly any variation. stablized. and (hopefully) selected for most desirable traits,
such as vigour and resistance, as, both these are lost to a degree (in any organism) after numerous generations of inbreeding.
IMHO, f2.f3,f4,f5 and so on (sibling incrosses) are not enough to classify something as 'true-breeding IBL'
you want to keep it in the family, but overdoing it will 'bottleneck' the gene pool to the point of no return.
at some point an ethical decision has to be made whether to continue inbreeding,
or to outcross to a NEW gene pool to add (HYBRID) vigour,
and start the selection process all over again.
PsI. Stoned Silly, that was the worst 'advice' ive read all day. PLEASE, listen to Storm, folks
PsII. its a pleasure to see u here, storm hope all is well with you and yours be well ~ cj
edit:
PsIII. any landrace, in pure form, is considered an IBL, this is the true/original IBL!

grown a few landrace, and they sure dont lack vigor, grow like crazy. open pollination may have somethin to do with this.
lots of peeps put a lot of stock in a good lookin population, on whether there gonna consider a line IBL. nice to have a tight population, but if each plant aint smokin like the others, its just IBL for the growth chacteristics.
a offerin can breed true for the taste, aromas and high, with varyin plant types as well.
