Thats entirely the point haha last round i ended up with a reveg fest, 20+ plants… which really bothered me for sqft reasons and because reveg is not 100% guaranteed…
Hoodoo x sk18 is really starting to stink 
but the nastiest plant is barely 4" tall lol
Naww, there’s plenty of untouched afghani and paki genetics going around these days. Kind of a revival I’d say, since I think people are starting to come out of their honeymoon phase with dessert strains and want that old thing back. The real seed company, the Landrace team, Indian Landrace exchange, and Landrace Mafia/Trident seeds all have some strains claiming to have that “old school” (quotations because I’m a bit young myself to act like I know what that was lol) stank.
This wasn’t to slam your work or interest by the way, just some genuine input if you’re serious about doing a “from scratch” skunk line that may actually produce a “RKS” pheno.
Wish you luck on your quest for the stank regardless of the path you choose! 
Hehe
I’ve had my eyes on these seed makers for some time.
I could be wrong but don’t they sell repros from original stock? Which begs the question- how large was their selection?
I may have to send some emails to clarify that lol
From perusing the web, they often go out of stock, so people are most likely growing them. I haven’t seen anything about rankers though. Lots of sweet and polite stuff. High quality, maybe. I just can’t justify the 10+$ a seed lotto 
Group shot
middle tray is skunk A progenyCan’t wait to move the males to their own box hah
But they start out so small…
That usually doesn’t last very long
I’m hoping I gave them enough veg in their small 5" pot to limit their stretch by root bdsm. Else I’ll have lots of bending to do haha
Only one out of those I named that may sell repros and not original stock from time to time is The landrace team. The rest are original stock from the farms.
I’ve seen mixed feedback on some, there’s people that find stinkers and people that haven’t but most of the ones that have not, didn’t grow them all out or ended up losing a few plants for one reason or another. Personally, I’ve found plenty of stinkers so I’m speaking from experience but I wasn’t on a skunk hunt when I found them and took a pass. Now that I’m into more savory/acrid terps, I deeply regret it lol.
I’ll tell you what, I’m spinning the block on my Iranian seeds soonish for a repro along with some others. If I find that STANK again I’ll send you a cut so that you can see what I mean because it’s not as hard to find as you think.
All this to say, again, I’m in full support of your efforts but I’m just offering an alternative route. I’m sure you’ll find plenty of stank in what you got already though 
Yes. Non sweet skunk is easy to find. When I go on attitude seed bank and search “skunk” there’s pages of it
Seriously, can you describe what the skunk many are looking for smells like ?
I’m sure it is, I’m only speaking to your point about the landraces being allegedly more “sweet and polite” than stinky.
No one seems to be able to, the “skunk” smell is all subjective based on what I’ve seen. As I stated in a previous post, I’m a bit young to be able to say what the real “RKS” smelled like, I can only guess.
My opinion was that I’m sure you could make something like that using the genetics I initially listed, just by breeding with the more savory/acrid phenos. If you believe otherwise, cool. Didn’t come here to shoot you down, just contributing to the topic.
Grow Disgust-O! And you will find out. I think i sent you some
Untouched? I have my doubts 
Reports from the few in modern times who put their hands on afghanis originating from different regions and dating from the 80s or older speak of an incredible diversity of smells, tastes and quality of high few(none?) talk about these days.
Robert Clarke, a visionary, a mentor and infatigable man of science warned the world in the 70s of the coming extinction of old world landrace cannabis due to the hippy trail, trading with farmers etc.
Do they still exist? Of course. Are they commercially available? Unlikely.
Our good friend Tom Hill seems to think differently. This post was after he had worked extensively with deep chunk and many paki/indian/afghanis landraces, only to give up. A walking talking encyclopedia who has access to pretty much any genetics and can run high numbers. Gave up.
Saying the elusive skunk “isn’t as hard to find as you think” is something I simply can’t roll with. Plenty of older growers, respectable and very capable growers came to the conclusion its probably people having a faulty memory. Embellishing what they’re young brains can remember. This alone tells me it’s kinda rare 
You said skunk is subjective… well that’s one problem. It’s not. 
A lot of growers describe skunk as carcass, body odor, cat piss, shit and all kinds of odors that have nothing to so with skunk. This certainly doesn’t help finding specimens that could move us in the right direction.
Another thing is sweet and rank aren’t mutually exclusive 
I’ve ran massive amounts of afhanis back when I cared(lol), thousands of them. Some better examples had a spicy stinky aroma but still smoked with a characteristic sweetness.
Another example would be skunk#1. It can be stinky but there’s no denying the in your face sweetness haha
Finally, please don’t take this post harshly. I know you had my best interests at heart when you proposed these banks. An immense thank you for the kudos too, I’m gonna need it as I’m entering the part of my grow where I have to isolate pollen, judge and cross what I think will take me to the right place.
Do tag me when you get to your Iranian run, I’d love to see it.
Yessir! I have 4 or 5 Disgust-O 1 week into flower 
You should be getting some rotten diaper trash bin roasting on a summer day smells. Those finish out super fast
I’ll be playing scratch and sniff with them later tonight. From memory there’s at least one who smells like trash can sauce left in the sun lmao
It’s the Mandela effect. 
Hahaha that or lizard people 
6 out of 8 CheeseCanukxCheesexUFS18 are confirmed males, 1 confirmed female and 1 to be determined. My top 2 turned out to be males…
Also found an hermie in the skunk “A” progeny… uhoh
That’s some poor numbers probably the ones you didn’t choose are going to be the females of the lot.
Lol you got it dude. No offense taken if no offense meant. Just to be clear though, I never said skunk isn’t hard to find, I said it’s not hard to make something disgusting or acrid. Also, I agree with your point on the purity of Landrace seeds commercially and think it’s fair to be skeptical (I am lol) but it’s different with the small “banks” I listed (except Landrace team) because they’re actually indigenous people selling cultivars that aren’t accessible or somewhat isolated from most people. Price be crazy though.
I have a bunch of Landraces from each of the places I named and will post them here as I grow them. We’ll see if there is any crazy smells from my afghanis, I can only vouch for pakis and Iranians I’ve grown so that could be a dead end as you say 
I will def tag you in the Iranian grow, the offer for a cut if I find something crazy is still on the table too lol.
Everything is sexed and flowering nicely. Man, time flies! I just noticed how long ago I popped those seeds. Goodness.
I did not take cuts! Yeah I’m a sucker for pain I guess. The tent is running at capacity and I wouldn’t know where to put trays of cuts right now. On the positive side, with that many revegs per grow, I’m rapidly becoming an “expert” and my success rate is pretty high 
I’ll try to snap a few pics later and compile the m/f ratios. Above average ratio of males for sure.
