I seem to recall seeing some Freakshow a year or so ago which supposedly was selected for skunk aromas but after searching for a half hour or so I can’t seem to recall the breeder who offered it.
As far as ‘skunk’ terpenes go, I’m fairly certain if you want hardcore skunk terpenes you’ll have to breed it into existence. I have grown HSC’s Freakshow, HSC’s Supafreak, Canna Research Co’s BerryFreak, and Canna Research Co’s Menthol Skunk. All of these lines have strong myrcene smells, so they seem kind of ‘skunky’ to begin with. When you really smell them though your nose picks up on the berry/mint/floral notes and you hardly smell the myrcene.
As mentioned, all of the Freakshow varieties are ‘more skunky’ outside than they are indoors, that said my Menthol Skunk smells like mint and not like a skunk.
One of the problems with trying to find a plant like this is you need to find an early generation (ideally F3) to sort through for genetic variance and unfortunately all the Freakshow lines are well past F4.
I do know of some Freakshow hybrids which have made it onto the scene and those may be worth exploring for skunk-like terps. If there’s any desire I will post the hybrids I see available.
If I were hunting for a skunk-freak, I would plan to find any Freakshow female and then find a really skunky male to breed with her. Take the ‘skunkiest’ F1s to F2 and prepare to hunt through 200-300 seedlings until you can find like 3 or 4 really skunky pinnate types. It’s likely the easiest path to what you seek.
Yes, yes they have. It’s quite difficult to combine both leaf types. They seem to want to compete for dominance in the F2 generation so it’s tough to find phenotypes which carry traits from both leaf types. I haven’t done the experiment personally this is just mirrored from someone who has tried.
I will say I have an ABC x Freakshow hybrid which I bred with another ABC male and interestingly enough it seems to have made Freakshow-looking seeds. I may sprout 10 or so next year just to see how the seedlings turn out.
