Where does "cat piss" originate?

high fambz!

if i remember right, some other member posted in one of the haze/columbian threads, that they believe the catpiss/incense smell came from the colombian gold used in the original haze project, hence, most original haze and crosses (nevilles, skunkhaze, super silver haze, jack herrer, etc...) all contain incensy/catpiss phenos...

on the other hand, another old dude claims the catpiss comes from the northern lights #2 or one of the others from the original neville releases which were used in nevilles haze and other haze hybrids...

oddly enough, sensi seeds afghani#1 grown from 30 seeds 8 years ago had nearly a third of phenos sporting a sugar-incense/catpiss smell (which would add up to the northern lights story) BUT only god knows by now i guess :)

Still tryin to find cat-piss-smelling weed. around 2000 in Russia we have only 3 good strains of buds = skunk, white widow. both smells like ammonia..And later (around 2005) NYCD. Seems cargo with EU is OK:)

Iv come across the pissy smelling plants in many dif haze related lines jst like canna said.

So many times it seems to me that hazes (green haze not purples )hold mostly lemon and a super heavy pissy/incense smells!

So much so that I jst assumed the SoCal Catpiss was surly an early haze selection.

All the NL Iv tried over the years. None have been remotely funky. Frost bombs of sho. But not much funk.

My vote is for haze all the way.

Big ups respect and happy growing.

I had a plant from a pack of fms c99 that stunk of cat pee. Hated it, it literally made my tent stink because the cat piss pheno smelled stronger than other plants.

When I used to make random cannabis crosses with my dad we on more thaqn one occasion encountered the cat piss/amonia stench at random in a cross... we'd discontinue those lines in lieu of the fruitiness we enjoyed but...looking back, I enjoy those kind of strains now.
One strain that always made pissy crosses was "amsterdam delight" by a company called homegrown fantaseeds. super hashy, peppery, almost spicy like A1 sauce... when crossed with something fruity, whala,,, piss fuel.
I remember specifically the amsterdam delight x cali orange bud making amonia stench fuely cat piss to the letter.

"10 days left before these seeds are harvested, resulting in the most intense "Cat Pissy" killer sativa I have ever seen, and deadly as all hell with a serious intense ride; she goes for 10 weeks. I made these before about a decade ago so I know a little bit about them, Black Forrest male x C99, heh heh. So watch for these coming soon at kingdomorganicseeds.com"

the "Cat Piss" smell is prevalent in many different types of strains. People's noses associate smells differently as well.

the most common is any kind of "pissy" smelling haze cross. this kinda stuff is really common in dutch haze/haze hybrids. SSH, etc all have hazy "pissy" smelling stuff in there.

The san diego cat piss is an indica leaning hybrid. Likely some kind "Kush" in there, this plant is reeky ammonia dank pissy funk. This one does not carry the "trademark" hazy pissy incense smell.

The Norcal Cat piss is a heavily indica dom plant (think squatter fatter than bubba) with an oddly sickly funky almost hazy, but misty dank pissy indica afghan funk. Very unique plant and excellent breeder.

Cougar's piss was made with the Norcal Cat piss is gifted to RD.

Would be cool to find this smell on a plant.

I've only smelled real cat piss from cat litter boxes.

Pretty sure it comes out of some old Mexican commercial lines...you'll get some of them smells out growing out some good old mexi brick beans...also why it pops up in skunk strains being that they have a but of old Mexican in the line...and it will come out in just about anything once in a while since skunk1 was breed into nearly everything at some point.

"Cat piss" has been around since the late 70's atleast

If I had to guess I would say the same! I remember thinking about this question myself way back and I always thought to myself, MEXICAN, but could easily also be colombian genetics.
We used to get units from down south that were straight cat pissy! Seedy as fuck, Large buds, Reeked of cat piss but was some of the strongest stuff coming from that way at the time, so we kept puffing it. Tho the comment would always come up, "this smells like cat piss". Some ppl wouldnt smoke it thinking it was literally pissed on lmao.. I also distinctly remember this peppery stuff, wasnt nearly as good tho! Not for my pallate

I remember reading a quote from Neville where he said something like...
when he made f2s of his Neville's haze he got alot of the cat piss phenos.
I've also seen bad curing processes make cannabis smell like ammonia.

SAGE has the cat piss taste. The seed co. refer to that taste as sandalwood. I grew out SAGE best smoke worst tasting cat piss.

Sandlewood = Cat Piss?

That's odd, I got an air freshner of Sandlewood smell and I don't smell catpiss. :biggrin:

Nail varnish remover is a better explanation of the Catpiss trait in ssh. It was a very nice part of haze hybrids back in pre 2001 greenhouse stuff. Unfortunately I haven't seen any haze hybrids display this trait since pre2001

it's true, if there's enough cat piss and it's old enough it smells reminiscent of sandalwood in a weird and bad way.

Cat piss is 1 phenotype of super silver haze. I've heard of growers growing multiple seed packs just for the catpiss pheno. You will know when you have it. That stink is undeniable

Clone Only Strains - SoCal CatPiss
Unknown strain, very close to the Trainwreck.
Probably a Skunk phenotype.
Do not mix it up with the "Catpiss" SSH pheno.

Does anyone here have the socal cat piss skunk pheno?
