So @Piffcoastfarms will be hosting a Skunk themed battle of the buds, to find the king of skunk.
Whatās everyoneās thoughts on this, and more importantly are you going to enter.
Seeing how itās in Virginia I may not. But then again who knows.

Itās through genetraders so I believe thier website maybe the one to keep watch of. For now they have just been announced on their IG page.

there is a skunkcon discord, but itās pretty quiet if iām honest.
i also think that āroadkill skunkā never really existed and people are remembering the past they wish they had rather than what actually happened.

to me its nothing more than the echo chamber that the canna community has become.
an example is mean gene when he talked about his rootbeer cut on his second potcast interview. when it blew up in popularity only three people had grown it, but there were hundreds of ig growers claiming it was the cream of the crop. people were so quick to hop on the train because someone cool said it was good.
rks is the same way in that growers/breeders are claiming they have it just to move packs of seeds?
i didnāt start smoking until the mid 90s and yeah i remember it being funky and skunk like and i only had access to mexican brick weed. i also had an untrained palate. if i had that same weed now i probably wouldnāt even want to smoke it.
iām happy that this skunk con is going down because it should put this rks hype to bed.

The only distinction to make in my opinion is that the RKS is a pheno that shows up time to time within a certain gene pool. Iām convinced the right combination of terpenes can mimic the smell akin to skunk or even rks but itās just not that common of a profile because of the way the market has gone throughout time. The old heads know about it, the everyday smoker has probably experienced it and the new generation just talks smack because they never got to experience it.

Is this the event in Springfield? Iām not on IG so donāt know great details, but the GT site is pretty nondescript. Just see a few companies listed, but the pool looks small.

No IG or discord here either. Keep us posted.
Can any strain be entered? I got some Schwaggy P gear that might fit the ticket.

yeah weed is funny like that. my first grow ever was a magus genetics mix pack so I dint know exactly what I grew. in a baggie in my pocket I had a similar experience at a Krispy Kreme shop. people walking in would say somebody had hit a skunk (I came to find out thatās the nice way to say āI can smell the weed in your pocketā) but when Iād take it out of the bag and break it up it smelled like lemon head or sour patch candy. there was no Skunk smell or taste at all. if you left a sack in your car it would be the same thing; smell like you ran over a skunk on the outside, but inside the car it would smell faintly of Skunk and mostly of lemon candy.
more recently I grew usefulās chocolate Diesel S1ās and it smelled like butter and potpourri until you set it on fire, then it smelled like the first puff of car exhaust before the catalytic converter warmed up. it tasted like simple green and made my lips tingly.
my point being that weed can smell like a lot of different things and taste completely different than what it smells like. I really have a hard time believing people were smoking joints that tasted like Skunk spray and rotting flesh.
If you do and you like it, then Iām happy for you.
but imo ārksā is just stoners remembering the past with rose tinted glasses. it literally started as a grassroots āremember whenā that became an easy selling point for seed vendors and we all know, or should know, how many snakes are in the cannabis seed game.

Itās the ultimate Scam for some of these guys.Here buy my pack thereās definitely RKS in it you just have to pheno hunt for it,What you didnāt find any skunk?It was all floral?Dont worry dude just F2 it your narrowing down the gene pool and just increasing your chances of getting RKS Iām telling you dude believe me Still didnāt find it after the F2 now you have a bunch of candy smells?You gotta F3 it man Iām telling you dude ā¦ā¦ā¦~Johnny Bagseed~

Blue Skies Vienna has RKS.
Iām sure ya do, buddy.
more like you did exactly what @CapnCannabis laid out in their post and scammed tens of thousands of dollars from the easily influenced.
Iām assuming you are him because he has more sock puppet accounts than shrek has layers (like an onion).

GW Pharma has Skunk #1
Iām also Dave Potter huh? Just trying to prove a point. People saying skunk doesnāt exist, then worry about dna test authentication and documented pedigree instead of smellā¦ Itās all about rights with this community. Everyone wants to have a name even if itās garbage. No one is scheduling a zoom meeting with Dave Potter or Dave Watson or Blue Skies Vienna, theyāre talking shit on the forums like tradition dictates.
Was wondering if we should ping you as youāve had some good, eloquent responses to this subject in other threads. How on earth has this become the most contentious reefer subject since organics vs. salts?! This search seems more futile than Noahās Ark.

Nostalgia, ālost strainā mythos, and money is the short answer.
Everyone remembers their first few experiences with really good sticky seedless weed vs brown dry brick. Notice how every RKS story begins when they just started really smoking.
Itās like trying to sell a dope addict their āfirst shotā again lol.

I believe some would cook a skunk down in a spoon and slam it if it would satisfy whatever is being hunted here.
I hope, for sanityās sake, someone comes across whatās being hunted. The probability, from a statistical standpoint, doesnāt point to that materializing.
