Have some really odd and wild smells coming from all the skunks ranging from sweet, berry, woody, skunky, lemony, funky, chemmy
Cant wait to see how they all finish up but a particular 86rks has caught my nose as far as moving forward trying to breed some skunky funk

Grew a strain called sour patch kids it turned out to be the most skunky musky herb I’ve seen in a long time and it is a mix of couple diff skunk lines mixed with other genetics. The pure skunk funk can be found again esp in the pure skunk lines. Also from what I’ve gathered from folks who grew it back in the day the skunk flavor realy came out after about 3-5 months of being dry and in a jar. Maybe the Terps and flavanoids responsible need some time to convert before they are in full force.

The chemicals in actualy skunk spray responsible for the odor are thiols which are organic compounds similar to organic alchohol compounds called phenols but with a sulfur atom in place of the oxygen atom, I’m assuming that cannabis can produce a organic thiol that when drying releases the skunk odor we all remember. Specificaly plants can produce an amino acid called cysteine which is what I beleive is responsible for the smell we miss. With the proper genetic code present in the plant cysteine can convert to sulphur type compounds very similar to what a skunk produces in its bootie hole.So breed plants with slightly lower levels of thc to allow for more diverse compounds to develop and then test for cysteine and breed for plants that have higher levels of it, bam skunk smell brought back. Or maybe it was from all the sulfur burners people used to use lol just kidding

Hola @Craigson15
My skunk2012 is already in flo
Its look good so far it seems
familiar to me tho, I even wonder
if its a saginaw valley skunk.
my skunk is 3 wk in flo
the best thing I can do now
is used some Oger’s pollen
on it.
I still have some of those
2012 seeds so nothing is lost
I will send some seeds if succesful.
I should a took a clone when it
was time but so many iron in the fire
I totally forgot, my mistake.

A diff 86RKS smells the skunkiest. The Deboz and skunk 91 are funky chemmy with the Deboz a tony bit less chemmy. The one skunk 91 f2 that looks like the runt f1 did in flower is more chemmy n kushy/piney.
The skunk 2012 range from fuity to lemony and a bit chemmy.

Cool, its amazing how many expressions can come out of these old genetics. I think youre on the right track by starting lots of seeds and digging into a couple generations

I have a bunch of skunk seeds to go threw myself some day, chem va, mass super skunk, original haleys comet, a small film cannister from a relative labeld original skunk. What was with everybody using the film canisters back in the day lol. If the community could bring a true skunk smell back in stable form it would be quite the accomplishment
