What's the smell like on your Medicine Man? I remember white rhino and even the seedlings had a smell.

just like that white rhino. its a lttle fruitier than I seek, but the profile is off the charts. its real deal medicine if thats your thing.
so there is no misunderstanding. we talked awhile ago about that skunk, the sticks packed in the black waxy paper and planstic in the late 80's for me. it was not fruity, not meaty, but skunk. burned the nose, eyes when trimming, chinese eyes, soar jaw in the morning from the laugh. I found close since but not what I seek. you told me you have it......

the shoreline skunk you and I talked about a couple months ago is called what- the one available in october?
is it the shoreline bx?

dont let me miss these please

edit= medicine man is the first one in flower to escape 1k in stink cans in a sealed room!
its also the nose tingling greasy girl around, makes cherry flavored concentrate has rich colors
matures super fast if needed, packs hard gold balls in 60 days though. She loses here funk very quickly though, faster than any other I've grow, havent figured it out, dont give a shit, doesnt last long enough to be concerned. It disappointed only one patient in my years. he had a flame tattoo on his face. I avoid flame tatted faces from then.
Its one of two samples all patients get their first time. if they dont like it....thats how I can tell if I wont like them, crazy how that works eh....

So you've been looking since 66 for the skunk genes ?? Just joking.

Ive also been looking for them for years.

Ive also been looking for, and found the Original 1988 Nevil NL5 x Haze. Swami also has it. Ive got 20 of those going.

I was just thinking the other day, and decided to message Swami about the RKS, and he told me a cross for the RKS would be available in 4 weeks.

He will have the Real Deal RKS x 1985 NL5 cross.

He says the RKS they have has been Hybridized/Stabilized with a local Guadalajara strain for over 30 years. I'm sure they have it down to a science.

Mr Nice isnt the real deal.

Ive got it going right now. Its known as Shit.... Its a good plant. But not RKS.

I never tried the Med Man. I was mainly asking, and I got a response. Thanks. I wont get it.

I also sure its ( Med Man RKS ) probably Selfed, and I'm not looking for selfed/fem. At all.

67 but ya. We didn't have that kind of weed in the 60's. I def still would have loved to have it. With the network we have she would have popped up by now. All those potent varieties back then where process into hash. I never had flowers that potent. Most of what we got was leaf/shake

lets all recall those effects decades ago may have been differing experiences for several reasons. We were not taking rx then, at least not our own, we usually had more than one willing sexual partner most days if desired, no mortgage(s), kids, seemed easier to get full when eating healthy back then, it takes fuckin forever now to feel good about what you eat, cuts were licked and rinsed healed in hours, not a state of possible emergency and imminent infection, we were healthier, younger, with different air and feelings too.
I had a jar of seeds from my father, these were really old, probably sifted through a screen a dozen times by him, he kept a handful of weed in a large colander on the table, pushed it mortar like when needed, collected the fall. for some reason he saved these, around 40, nice striped, looked good. they were pre 75, from when he grew large plants himself. 9 germinated in 2012. he died then but I kept going with these. several hermies, seemed like columbo sativa somethings to me, and the ones that were right and female were as good as any effects I grow now, no better no worse, a little different though. effects were more clearly defined, , buzz's not so mushy. some were broad leaf some were skinny ones,two were serious pineapple, one a fruity skunk but all were good but not keepers in my line up. means nothing really just a share.

Seeds plucked from bags back in the late 70s early 80s, I remember strains like Acapulco, Panama, Colombian and Thai...

Hoping there might be some hidden treasure in here, but unfortunately probably improper storage, i had no clue back then...

Made a few attempts at trying to pop some of these but no luck.20170627_194250.jpg 20170627_192454.jpg

I have excellent fortune with old seed stock. I'll share what I do.
I have a little jar with sandpaper glued to the inside, I rattle the old seeds
around till I can see the abrasions on the seeds. rinse and then, hold your breath...
I spritz some clorox bleach/cleaner , 1/4 spritz to be exact, into a small mason jar of water, swish and pour off into clean water, twice, then soak in the same jar. I once had one take 6 days to open but no mold and it survived. I was amazed.

To start all seeds should float. If they dont there no good.
Soak seeds for 48 hrs. Take ea seed and crack it manually with ur teeth. Be very careful. Place ea seed back into water(should still float). Check in another 24 hrs. If no tail put them into PT with mild heat. If this doesn't work nothing will.

Interesting my seeds sink and I just had 100% germination.

Yea. If they sink it doesn't mean they are bad.

For very old seeds they may not be viable if improperly stored. I scratch the coating and soak in water with a bit of peroxide.

If that doesn't work I still soak until the shell is soft and use a razor blade to easily remove the shell and soak the embryo then plant.


Sometimes putting them in the freezer for a month or so helps.

I just recently had to crack one with my teeth. Got it to pop but still died on me once in soil.

Ive got a skunkman freebie pack of thai haze x skunk #1 I need to see if I can get to pop, its been through high heat being in storage years back.

I germed 50 seeds 3 weeks ago. 90% of them sank right away. The rest sank within 16 hours. All but a couple came up. Some were cracking within 12 hours.
Sometimes Old Dehydrated seeds will float. But sinking seeds possibly could mean theres still plenty of moisture in the embryo, and is not dehydrated.

But I put no faith in the sink, or float method.

If you want some really funky skunk, look into the Swami Organic Seeds.

They aren't available yet, but will be in 3 weeks.

He will have the

Original Road Kill Skunk, that has been hybridized, and stabilized with a Local Cali grown Guadalajara for over 30 years. so its a stabilized RKS/Guadlajara. Real Deal early skunk wasn't stabilized. This is NOT Sk#1. But I believe closer its forbearer, only more consistently funky skunky.

A male of this was crossed with a 1985 Female of an original cut NL5. This stuff should be off the charts Skunky, and head blasting strong.

Swami will also have a cross of RKS/Guad x Blue Orca.

Blue Orca is a 1971 Pre Soviet Kandahar Afghani x 1976 Thai Stick Male.

But Swami will also have the RKS x Blue Orca in 3-4 weeks.

These seeds do float, but I didn't think that it mattered because I have had seeds germinate that both floated and sank.

But I will try cracking them to see if that persuades and if not I'll throw some in the refrig for a while.
