Skunktek has my new #circleofblessings testers. 80s black afghani / Michigan rks



My goal is to get more solid skunk lines out to the community and put this mf to rest.

Is it a true RKS, I don’t have a clue. All I know is it is pure skunk funk to the max and I’m excited to share it.

I’ve been through a ton of Afghani’s over the years and found a few nice skunk lines, but nothing like this Michigan RKS that I ran into. This line comes from an old dairy farmer in northern Michigan and he’s had it since the mid-80s. It’s not garlic, coffee, onions or BO. It’s straight skunk spray.. She carries the smell after hanging on the line too. It’s spot on and I can say that with confidence. She’s just not that pretty to look at. Lol

FYI, if I plan on cashing in, I could cash in on my treasure chest of seeds, not a fake skunk line. I don’t have time to get on here and play like I used too, but I do know that I’m not gonna be that guy that has a fire ass skunk line and does not share it. I’m gonna pass it out to everyone and make a ton of beautiful crosses. My first primary objective is to make an S1 and hope for an exact replica of the mom.

Hope that clears up a little on this line.

Cold is coming in quick. Have a beautiful fall.

Thanks
Stray

Sad that Positronics dont carry their Skunk#1 anymore, first skunk I ever grew back in 1998, smelled like a mix of catpiss and oranges...

Todd McCormick does have the Original Sk1. Straight from Mel Frank, who got it straight from Skunkman in the 80s. This IS the same stuff you remember from the 80s.
Authentic Genetics. These have only been bred 3x since 1988.

72 pages later...has anyone found old school skunk? Enquiring minds would like to know.
Here's my take on skunk, it was definitely around when I was a kid. Late 90s early 2000s, I definitely smelt some skunky bud. Thing is- in the last 10 years, I have seen growers that had bud with a skunky smell to their flower just hints though. The strains the come to mind that had skunky phenos were cheese, OG, sour and chem. I haven't seen the rancid, rotten skunk sprayed a skunk load in you baggie since probably the early 2000s.

I think with all the cookies/gelatos flooding the market people aren't experiencing those old school terps as much anymore. I believe sour and chem will be making a serious comeback in this upcoming year and people will have a better shot of getting some skunkier bud. There's definitely people out there with skunk cuts, I just think some of the people that have em, guard them tightly, and don't give out cuts to just anyone.

My uncle grew some Afghan Dream in the early 2000s that had to be double bagged and stashed outside. People would still literally say "I think there was a skunk in the back yard." You couldn't keep a joint of that stuff in the house let alone smoke it. Three floors, top to bottom, pure skunk. It made people gag when the took a big whiff outta the bag. To this day probably the best smoke I have ever had. It would get you STOOOOPID stoned to the point of staggering around like you were drunk. Twice i got so high it overwhelmed me and I threw up. Damn, I miss that stuff. I will never forget the day I drove by his house and all his plants were being put in the front yard by the cops. What a horrible feeling.

I was up in the mountains on the border of Colorado and New Mexico about 5 years ago, I was definitely near a skunk grow. I’m not stupid enough too be too snoopy in that area, it’s worth saying that people near Trinidad probably know something. I know there’s some old school rebel bikers out there, I was always told they had the skunk.

Why not? Why would you want to keep a thing like 'Skunk#1' this big secret that only a few people here and there have, and then a decade later the genetics get lost and nobody has it again? Unless you're planning on cornering the market on the seeds and charging $100/bean or something, doesn't make sense to me.

Don’t take this the wrong way but I would say that it’s probably because you’re young, you don’t understand. For older folks a lot of this stuff you don’t talk about, for some not even to their spouse or their best friend. Literally take it to your grave.

To be honest I don't remember much, it's all a blur to me now. I'll be 47 in 2 months.
I do remember high-school and vaguely remember 'skunk' - I wasn't growing weed yet in those days so I wasn't as keen as I became in later years on knowing what strain was what etc. People used to talk about 'hydro' and I guess by that they meant it had been grown hydroponically and was somehow denser buds than normal, or so we were told in those days. I grew up in Thunder Bay Ontario.
When I was in my teens, I ended up being friends with a dude I later found out was a pretty major dealer. Truth be told our circle of friends was pretty spoiled and he kept us in free smoke most of the time. It was rare that he would tell us (probably he didn't even know himself) what a certain type of weed was that we were smoking. Probably we smoked 'skunk' a number of times back then, but I was too new to the whole thing at the time for it to really leave much of a lasting impression.

Ha ha so I’m like one year older! I told you not to take it the wrong way lol
It’s funny, your story of your teens sounds like the other perspective from me to my friends because me and my buddy had like pounds all the time because his dad grew it. lol

See that’s the thing though, my best friend who he and his dad taught me a lot of what I know, only did so because it was a family connection and I had known them my whole life. The rule was, you take it to your grave. Unfortunately it was his grave, my best friend died in 2006. I’m legal now.

Its older heads probably dudes that are senior citizens that have it, they don't give a shit about selling cuts on instagram, those type of dudes still adhere to the oldchool outlaw lifestyle, and they ain't no types of advertising online. I think there a good chance of it around in the Appalachia area, or maybe I just like that story, lol.
