Hey Hi, I’m subbing in. I found a very skunky girl in a unexpected place. The breeder was JAWS and the strain is Green Crack x Fruity Pebbles Ogee.
These tall branchy plants carry an oder that is staight up skunk on the roadside. the first run with her was two plants in flower, one tall and one half the size. Crazy long fractal branching… strong though.
Anyway flowering these out I kept thing Burning Rubber smell then I took a travel and Instantly recognized.
The only thing is its skunk at 50-60 days but cures to a fruitier version, not as much skunk. Kinda weird to change so radically.
Enjoyed the read so far, looking forward.

This is my experience as well. The skunk smell seems appear at random and vanish after a few weeks. My latest phantom skunk experience came from a kc brains mango. She reeked of skunk in the 4th 5th and 6th week of flower then that disappeared and a peach ring candy smell took its place. Very odd lol
I put them in the flower chamber by mistake for a week, and now after a week of veg they just keep flowering… so I’ll uppot them and bend them over to encourage branching and just flower them
My first impression is that they all have wider leaves and none have the sickly sweet smell some of the first round skunks had, so far I’m happy with them. I’ll be looking for a skunky male to pollinate my skunk A. Might also open pollinate them just because.
A week of flower is nothing if they are going to be inconvenient for you they’ll continue to show pre flowers but shouldn’t actually bud your safe to continue vegging. What you did should help with sexing them in the next few days.
They fit nicely into the current program actually. I got many more males than I wanted on the other strains so it’s all good.
Any other strain I would of kept them in veg but for some reason these skunks are very tough to reveg and I feel I’d just be wasting my time.
I had 5 cuts from skunk A and only one revegged properly, all others are still growing half assed buds after months in veg. Skunk E also never reverted.
Usually anything that’s tough to clone won’t reveg or if it does it takes months . Your picture doesn’t really show any bud development that I can see but ya I definitely prefer cloning over reveg then if they’re still a bitch it’s time to move on .
This line was the slowest to root from all the cuts I took last round, 50+.
Makes me scratch my head honestly. From reading the archives from an extinct 90s forum. The skunks available at that time had the reputation to reveg on a whim… what am I growing lol
You could probably bury a attached lower branch in the dirt and it would grow roots . Definitely true with a lot of the older genetics they just had one thing programmed it was to grow .
I have vegged a plant 5 ft tall indoors…taken it outside…rugged up the branches and stem…dug a slanted hole put the plant in there and pushed it down to the soil and covered it with just all the branches sticking up…it was like a vine and all the branches grew upwards…it was nothing special and I’m sure would have grown bigger the normal way, but it grew roots everywhere it was buried in the soil…so yeah, burying it to the first branch…would get you roots…like air layering.
