On the skunk train:
In case someone missed this.
The nose is full of receptors that get clogged(similar to our CB receptors) so if you’re growing buds or always smoking/smelling buds they can easily get clogged with the skunkiness around. Genetics has a great deal to do with the # of receptors you have as well. And as with most senses in life as we age the ability to smell declines.(except the 6th sense of course)
Remove yourself from all things Canna for a few weeks or so and just about everything will be skunky-dory for a short time after. Or shoot, hop in that magic yellow submarine time machine and get your younger days’ sniffer back.
I have a couple nice 6 foot tall Early Rogue that I am running outdoor for bubble hash this year and one of the pheno’s has a very nice skunky (reminds me of an afghani skunk I had kept in the 90’s) stem rub. I don’t know anything about Early Rogue other than it is an outside strain that is supposed to be hardy and get big. I’ll let you know how it turns out.
Bodhi’s American Skunk Selection (A.S.S.) cut is the closest thing to RKS that likely currently exists. It’s a known quantity, not some beans that “could” have “RKS”.
Yeah, I heard this cut is supposed to have a skunk spray smell which is why I picked it up. So far nothing of the sort, but I assume that all comes in dry and cure.
And this cut is relatively new genetics anyway. I would expect something with those terps to come from way farther back.
Sterling Skunk aka Sterling Green. An heirloom Indica line preserved for decades round Sterling Massachusetts. This Indica leans, sometimes heavily, to the ‘Skunky’ side of the spectrum. One of the more stanky lines I’ve grown in recent history and definitely some unique, old school heirloom type of plants.
This generation utilized a combination of 168 male and female plants to preserve the genetics in an open pollination.*
Messing with a few lines from strayfox and schwaggy at the moment that sound promising. Will be following you MedMan, thanks for documenting your findings.
I have Casey killerz 5 weeks into flower, and burnout stinkerz almost ready to be flowered. From schwaggy I picked up his latest release called Noni and his giesel cross. Those are just a few weeks old in veg.
Yes of course. I received it once removed from the source. It’s the skunkiest nastiest smelling plant I’ve ever grown and some of the loudest smelling weed I’ve ever seen. As for why it isn’t grown that much I could only guess that the average Joe doesn’t want to smoke something that nasty smelling, and it’s not very potent. Like I said I think the only stuff rivaling it in funk and loudness are things like the real Death Star.
It’s not true RKS skunk spray but it’s probably the closest thing out there right now.
