A scale to measure the skunkiness… none exist to my knowledge…
I think skunk is skunk, it’s such a distinctive smell…
The big boys can test terps, speculate about oils and whatnot… some have access to just about any strain/cut one can dream of… they still can’t bring it back. If what made skunk stink was clear and quantifiable I’m of the opinion that someone would of had brought it back already. But hype then crickets is all we get lol.
Even tom hill said the damn thing just don’t want to exist, that he never saw anything like it… even he failed…
I pop beans like my life depends on it. Chuck pollen like a bee and the only thing that’s even close to skunk is beans from a Betty crocker Frosting tub from 93 with skunk written on it.
How to know if you have rks level plants.
Level 1 a gram can be detected about 6 inches way.
Level 2 a gram cAn be detected @ arms length.
Level 3 a gram can be dated when you walk by about 3-5 feet away from the bud.
Level 4 A gram can be detected from 10 feet away. You know it’s in the room with you.
Level 5 rks, A gram can be detected from 50+ feet way. A gram can fill an entire room with so much dead skunk aroma, that it can be detected from the adjourning room with the door closed. The rancid smell lingers for hours after the bud has been removal from the location. The smoking of the bud can easily be detected a 100 feet away.
For real, my wife can roll a blunt inside the house, and I can smell it outside. She doesn’t have to light it, and I can immediately smell it when she opens the door to come outside.
Family and I have been standing at the entrance of my driveway which is about 100 feet away from my back door, and we can smell it when my wife opens the back door to come out side.
We can be sitting in the back yard smoking and my neighbors across the road sitting under their carport can smell it. And the wind will be blowing our direction. So many times people will pull into our drive way and tell us that they smell bud when we hadn’t even been out side that day.
The smell of a gram in my bedroom can be notice from my drive way. It will be the same It will be the same if my wife smoke in the house. Hours later someone who pulls up will still be able to smell it.
I’m just sharing what rks bud is really like. It’s like walking around with a skunk in your shirt pocket. Peace brothers. Hopefully you find what you guys are looking for.
You could be in the next state over and someone opened a bag you could smell it. Wash your jeans and they still stunk of skunk if you had carried it in your pocket.
I had some clones of a friends headband, I don’t know if I would call it skunk but it stank. One of my coworkers put it in his locker, lmao didn’t take long before someone said something. I grew more that I bought not the same, good but not stinking good.
Right now my plant has shown that she can produce the rks by breeding to other skunk strains.
The the only down side is that she is an auto and a lot of people don’t want the auto into their gene pool. And i don’t blame them.
The next thing to do is see of by breeding the rks plant to others to see if she can pass the terp to other skunk strains.
My best bet wound be to breed her to the Cruella to see if those offspring will be Rks. I’m willing to bet that they will be
Also I made 2 different crosses on the rks by breeding the chocolate Thunder and the Nympho to her. Once again they are autos.
I’m sure breeding both of those crosses together, there will definitely be rks in those as well.
I’ll will probably buy another skunk strain. I’m interested in a blueberry skunk if anyone know where I can locate one.
With 2 rks I’m sure I can produce other. I just have to present it in a way that other would want them. But right rks auto is on deck. And I have rks fast lvtk which smokes reallly nice. She has a very good high that not too debilitating. Peace
If I was to start from scratch to recreate a rks I wouldn’t know where to start…
There’s still some skunky stuff around that’s for sure… all of them with some kind of fruit in the foreground or straight sweet…
Now do we add to it or deconstruct it and remove something from it lol
I’m too young to have experienced the hay day of skunk, barely caught the tail before it seemingly disappeared, but I do know what skunk spray smells like
I really think there’s a logic behind the elusive non sweet skunk smell… there must be some type of simple recipe to achieve it. Someone once told me how to get a specific fruit smell in a cross, the choice of parents did not make sense to me, but his explanation did. And the first tests proved him right (wtf)
Then there’s the extreme phenos (transgressive segregation). I think that’s where the legendary loudness is found(not only in skunk, can happen with any trait too). From what I understand TS occurs more frequently in the earlier generations (f1,f2). The phenomenon can still happen in later generations but the further you take a line the least frequent it is.
So with skunk being ~f951 (well maybe lol)… I’m thinking it only takes a few “bad” decisions to breed a line to the ground, so there was plenty of opportunities throughout the years to do so
Good news is all of my skunk cut1 progeny inherited the skunk smell, if I’m lucky I might find something special by growing a shitton…
Kindom Organic seeds has recently been selling Red Russian Skunk F2’s. He has sold crosses of them but until a couple of months ago the man he got them from asked him not to release them. It contains both the sweet and sour skunk phenos-along with body odor/feet and a pine.
This may sound harsh but I think he just copy pasted one of the 732 “real deal” skunk breeder description that came out the last 2 years…
Lemon candy, lollipop, cotton candy, orange, sweet, very sweet, grape…
Totally legit totally rks can like actually totally be found if you like pheno hunt 210 packs I swear this is legit. Someone somewhere totally not made up by my marketing team who actually can like not comment because reasons - found it, like.
To me, it always sounds like an easy way to take advantage of the “Should’ve Been There” smokers out to recapture their lost youth… dunno. I have a friend who’s constantly looking for that stink too, but just can’t find it in anything no matter how foul it tastes and smells to me. We’ll see, maybe some day he’ll find that magic in something we grow.
. Always love these hard to find, old school genetic grows
