I imagine it's going to take some work to get them into anything I would want to grow seriously, but yeah, I'm stoked.
The afghani strains everyone has been working with date from the 70's, pre-war times. I'm hoping that some of that awesomeness that made Northern Lights and other exceptional strains was preserved in some of this. The book states that a lot of these genetics move from the plains and Hindu Kush regions to this area. This is part of the original silk road.
Potential for creating new devastating strains with powerful characteristics is high! I've got a bunch of original haze and ON haze from Todd McCormick that could be hybridized with these afghani bases. Also some old India Malana Cream that I want to do something with also. Lots of possibilities with new indica bases!
I live in an area that is similar in climate to where these were bred so I'm double stoked to be able to contemplate outdoor projects.

Can't remember what he brought back but was watching Murder Mountain on Netflix and some old hippy geeza claims he went to Pakistan to the same latitude as Humboldt and brought back seeds way back before we was born

That's very cool! Yeah the Malana Cream(RSC) is AMAZING, I had one recently that was unbelievable. Thread on it is here:
https://www.rollitup.org/t/malana-cream.1031485/
I ended up crossing it with afghani(???) and towards the end with GPS Cake N Chem.
Next landrace I test will be RSC's 'Tirah' - which is supposedly a super-potent Hindu Kush variety.
Keep us posted with how these turn out!

Only part of a pack of 120, 12 different varieties along with the tourbook. I posted a link to the instagram previously. It's $1000 for the whole package.
They are also intended for breeders or preservationists and I'm guessing most people will want to wait for some work to be done.

I Know B.O.E.L. brought some Afghani lines into America pre Soviet invasion, but It wasn't until during the Soviet invasion that Afghan lines really started to be introduced in various locations due to the Afghan rebels dumping hash into the world markets to fund their resistance.
There were many viable seeds found in bricks of hash.
A man I worked with was reminescing to me, in the late 80s, about the kilo sized bricks wrapped in cellophane, stamped with an
Ak-47 that started to become available during that time.
It made the dealers feel patriotic to support the Afghan rebels.
Plenty of folks hunting and growing out skunk either way. Not in this thread obviously, this has turned more into a commercial for landrace afghanis. That is not skunk though, only part of it as you know. Im sure you can find nice phenos in those landrace genetics but it will not be skunk that you are hunting lol.

I can imagine that lol, looking for a male then to pair with?Totally, and I'm not the one who brought those into this discussion but I'm grateful because I wouldn't have seen them otherwise!
I've been pretty happy with the Shoreline OG cut I've been growing for 4 years now. It stinks me up plenty.

SKUNK is gone . All these guys saying they have it are straight up liars out to steal your money. Heimii Cheeba or the alaskan Cannabis liar has nothing more than a traditional afghani that is in no way shape or form Skunk. So with that said , anyone that has bought his skunk and are now selling beans are as shitty as him. Skunk 1 seeds are a dime a dozen you just have to go to a european seed bank. RKS is a thing of mythical unicorn status. It is not gonna be bought in a pack of seeds . Go back to hunting Runtz . Skunk is a lost strain of the past. If I had a penny for every story of I had some skunk back in the day and I put some seeds away and am popping them now , or I know a guy that was in the meatloaf express skunk mafia blah , blah . If you did have some skunk from back in the day now it would be hittin around 10% thc and be mids with a stink at best. I have literally spent thousands over the last few years hunting a skunk. There are some that have a skunk aroma here n there but RKS or bag stinking a whole house up shit is a thing of your childhood imagination . But I got beanz of RKS if ur lookin

Did any of you fine RIU members ever find anything close to the RKS? 
I’m going to go skunk hunting myself in a couple months.

I just grew one seed of these, think there are 9/10 left and it grew huge colas with no smell and more hair than buds, smoking it now, tastes bland and hardly any high. Will update when I get round to doing the others if I can get my mojo back.Sensi Seeds are industry pioneers, and are the only other seed breeders I would trust to have a true Skunk #1. They say they've carried on their Skunk #1 genetics for 25 years. Also, this version is feminized. Has anyone tried it?

So you bought them?
I was going to pull the trigger, but I literally had to buy a laptop this last week... And 900 Bitcoin is a lot at the moment... Ugh, if I had the space

I grew 4 Sensi Skunk #1 plants a few years back. Nothing horrible but not very potent either and a pretty weak flavor. 3 phenos in almost just as many plants, all the same generic type of smoke. Mid grade dime a dozen stuff. After all the bragging they did about that strain I really expected something better than this, that was also the last time I grew any of their gear.

Yep. it was $900 worth of Bitcoin, so about $7.5 per seed, plus the book.
I don't have the space inside but I do outside
