What is Skunk?

[Guest]

How about CPAs. I know one of those. My brother has a degree from Harvard and He started me on this wonderful road of WEED!

Oh, quote where i said it would be easy. There is most likely someone working on it now and has been for years, frustrated. I never implied easy!

Hi,all.
Let me first make something clear as crystal:
Sam forgets more about cannabis every morning before breakfast than most posters on this thread could ever hope to know.
I have been privleged enough to meet Sam on several occaisions,and I don't even talk,I just ask a question and am awed by the succinct,in-depth answers I've recieved.
Sam's the most legit source of information regarding Skunk1 on the planet,and one of the most knowledgable,on cannabis,in general.
Now,as to the popularity of 'roadkill skunk' phenotype,well,you can chalk that up to changing tastes of consumers over the years,and,if back in the day,tastes didn't lean that way,and Sam leaned to breeding out that phenotype,well,that's his perogative,wasn't it?

My .02,love it or hate it,it's The Truth.

i was waiting for you to chime in Rez...

i have had nothing against anyone's opinions on this thread regarding preference of taste or high, i just thought sam should have been treated with a bit more respect...

 

[Guest]

Perhaps how things were said cxould have been more respectful, but what was said was legit.

When I first heard that there was a guy named Sam the Skunkman and he had a stable plant called skunk #1, I thought excellent . I would be getting the classic skunky weed.
When I found out it wasn't skunky at all, I thought ...Oh. Oh well. Where do you get the skunk then?

Yep, the story doesn't have to be more complicated than that. He had two options, and he went for the one he thought was best. Today the context is entirely different. Even though variety has exploded, everybody's asking for a new flavor or color. If someone comes up with a strain that smells just like Brad Pitt's underwear, be sure that they'll cry for it in the forums.

Southerners have been growing skunky herb in the south since alcohol prohibition.

And as zamilito also knows, us fellow southerners can get a little hostile on occasion
(it's REAL HOT in the summer here yall), but we don't tend to mean much real harm.

And we do love the RKL down here, best of luck on bringing it back zam., I know that one of us in the lower 48 can get this done! All of this confusion, and there for, all of that hostilty can be blamed on geography, and ones relation to it :smile:

I moved out to the P.N.W. in the mid 90's and learned what A LOT of other people considered skunk. Sadly I haven't smoked the "skunk" I grew up with since I moved back home.

But I love that fruity pungent sativa Skunk #1 Sam! I always have, from my first taste of it. On it's own, or for the AMAZING breeding tool it has been for decades. It is truly an incredible work of horticultural breeding art in my opinion! Lucky for me, I know a couple of folks that grow the hell of it, right down the street now. Thank you for posting sir, it always makes for a very educational day on the boards.

I'd love to be a fly on that wall...

Of subject. Another funny Willie spelling moment.

When I was in high school, we used to eat lunch in a coridor that we called "The hole". Well one day I wrote the name on the wall and spelled it "The whole"
I still here about that, to this day!

I dont use spell check!

Too goddamned funny! Rez shows up to prop up the reputation of another so-called "breeder," and all the Rez's Jockers start up with, "We loved you all along, Sam. I knew you were great the whole time, Sam."

What a bunch of ass-lickers.

The very fact that "Rez" recommends "Sam" is just more proof that all these so-called breeders are desperate to hold their phony house of cards together.

Hey Rez, ask Sam what he thinks of creating an IBL in a year and a half or whatever your claim is. That should be good for a laugh.

What all of these so-called breeders like Rez and Sam don't care to explain is why a company like Mandala Seeds can create a superb line-up of seeds, with not a loser in the bunch, and charge $15 per pack of 10 seeds. And there are several more like Mandala out there, selling great seeds at less than two dollars per seed.

The answer is that Rez and Sam and the other phony "breeders" are just guys who grow weed and cross weed and play with weed like anyone else could who has the time or the space or the inclination to grow weed. Big fucking deal.

The Rez's of the world have all of you fooled into believing that they are the modern-day Luther Burbanks or Gregor Mendels of the world, creating something never before seen on the plant fucking earth. It's weed, you dumbasses, and anyone who cares to play around with the plant for long enough will come up with something interesting.

Sam and Rez are not geniuses. The only way that these guys could be considered geniuses is in relation to the stupid asses who think Sam or Rez or the rest are so uniquely gifted in the science of genetics that they've actually done something new or interesting. It's just weed, folks.

Now line up, all of you ass-lickers with underdeveloped egos who need to believe that a phony like Rez actually likes you or cares about you. Line up and attack me and believe that it will somehow make Rez notice you like your father never did. Dumbasses.

I was wondering when someone was going to say something like that!

I suppose not a single one of the breeders in this thread who've grown "thousands of Skunk plants" can give me a little info on whether my plants from 1994 are indeed typical Skunk#1's? I thought they were supposed to be ultra-uniform in growth, which would make them quite recognisable...? :wink:

You must pray to the strain gods and beg them for enlightenment.

I'm on my knees already!

For those of you who haven't had the opportunity I suggest you take a look at Sam's gallery.
Here's a pic of him and the wife in Kabul,Afghanistan from god knows when.Probably before most of the people on this thread were born.

props- props for taking a strain in the direction you wanted to and breeding it just how you wanted.

not props- taking a strain that smells like a real skunk and turning it into a sweet strain....whether it was sam or anybody.....when people order or recieve something called skunk they want it to be skunky skunk. i don't know many people that ordered skunk hoping for a sweet plant.

 

[Guest]

Isnt there a 'Skunk Fan Club' thread for all the people who had it and lost it?

Paz, HHF

 

[Guest423]

lol ok, breeder bashing mission? obviously you don't know what your talking about but....kiss some more ass.....makes no difference to me. people like you don't speak your minds until someone "important" posts then you just go along with whatever that person says....grow some balls.

Back in the early 90s, I used to get the dankest roadkill skunk you could imagine. It was heavy, trippy, super euphoric and it lasted for hours. The smell and taste was so pungent and much more enjoyable than you might imagine. It's the kind of stuff that reeks up a whole room even when it's still sitting in a bag in your pocket.

I've been looking for the real skunk ever since to grow myself. Just recently, I received some "skunk" cuttings from some Quebecers who said the clone was from the eighties. During veg, it reeks so much like skunk with piney undertones (smells like freezeland in the background). However, during flowering, that super sweet smell starts to build up until it is clearly "sweet skunk" smelling. It's close, but not really what I was looking for. The skunk pheno of Super Silver Haze can reek like roadkill skunk. I had one that any time I had a bag in my pocket, someone would ask if I hit a skunk or something. My Lemon Swiss can also smell quite skunky in the bag (I've had old ladies sitting beside me at an outdoor play saying "wow, it really stinks like a skunk here...".

Anyway, I'm going to give the oldschool skunk cuttings another go and see if I can prevent the sweet smell from taking over...

I have.

Honestly some people need to get laid here. Calm down for fuck's sake. I understand when you LOVE a flavor/taste/high in cannabis but seriously how many people prefer to get stoned rather than high? Thanks.

I know beancounter is in search of the SKUNK for a fuckin' while, he asked me and many people on this board but still he was respectful for the Skunkman. Why can't some of you do the same thing?

The skunkman has the skunky, said he was gonna release it but if he called a hoaxer and a greedy bastard every damn fuckin thread he reply to i dont think he will be pressed to do you this favor, hey.

BTW, thanks sam for the sweet skunk, i get high each and every time. It surely make some fine ass hash, i can testify.
