I was gonna top and prune it more but once I knew it was male I decided to breed up the female selected for it early, so I could finish other projects going.
This female below was more closely related to the WS18 male in smell and structure. Super Skunk small, Skunk pee growing , a meat phase, then sweet to Skunky. Since I found a male and female the same everything with the WS18 they got bred together.
I’ll be breaking both parents out and creating F1s soon. Washington Skunk is up now.
This WS18 was non topped bigger leaves, skunky when you smell above it, and skunk when you touch a bud, finger smell test.
Washington Skunk x Uncle Festers Skunk 18
I hit that WS18 with a beefy rare Afghanica phenotype expression Red Devil. Super sweet smell it had. One of the best I’ve smelled in a sweet.
There was hardly any SK1 showing in this male, most of the 60 RD seeds I tested had narrow 5 to 9 leaves. This male had 11 and full Afghanica.
So I bred up the 50/50 phenotypes to keep the Red Devil as it’s described.
These special phenotypes like the Male Red Devil I’ll use in crossing strains, like the non topped WS18.
WS18 is a real Skunk, you have to get close to find out. If outdoors it should throw out a long scent.
The WS18 when it was little was powerful smelling straight Skunk.
So it made it all the way through with a Skunk, Skunk pee, no burnt rubber it hit a candy sweet for a bit touching it as seeds were maturing.
Regular water rinse it threw out Skunk strong as I wetted it down with buds on it.
Very impressed with WS18.
Smoke test means 100% in calling anything a true Skunk I’ll let you know after a long cold dry cure.
After a few hours today in the cold 54 I checked it , I had a Skunk, had someone else try it, they said a Skunk too. Sweet and solid comfortable Skunk. They really digged it!
Seeds should be finished in 2 weeks.
Red Skunk 18 is the new name of the cross Red Devil x WS18.
