i disagree with the idea that skunk has to be grown a special way for it to be what folks are saying it shoud be.
I say that because most indoor growers thrroughout the BC lowermainland back in the 80’s were not mixing up fancy nutrient mixes… in fact I would be willing to bet that most were using Peters 20-20-20 through the whole grow or switching to Peters 10-52-10 in flower. Other nutrient brands were not availlable then and growers bought what they could find. In 1989 when my mentor first introduced me to the cannabis plant and the growing of it… Peters products were the staple and I found this in most of the grows back then.
So I very highly doubt these claims that the inputs and soil have to be just right. Those skunk grows were stinking up hole neighborhoods with no help from special growing techiniques or nutrient mixes. Surrey and North Delta BC put themselves on the map when it came to weed busts back then. Carbon filters were still in the future and so were all the plant foods and special stuff we all have access to today.
There are some highly skilled growers out there on the Road Kill Skunk hunt and I truly believe they are chasing a myth.
Funny thing… I opened my doobie container in the ice fishing hut the other day and my buddy remarked about the “skunk weed” I was smoking LOL No skunk , just some really good 88g13hp but when you pull the doobie out it reeks of skunk in the air. Not in the flavor or the smell of the burning joint but its all skunk before it;s lit.
Wierd eh?
