Thanks for the offer but seriously if you have a cut the industry would beat a path to your door
I’m sure it is a close representation but it’s kinda like someone saying the they have NL#5
Close maybe but I believe you acknowledged it is close
Which to means you probably did try the real deal and you recognize it isn’t exact
That is all I’m saying
No offense intended
My clone room is packed I have been binning them left and right just trying to narrow down the gene pool
I appreciate the offer but not my cup of tea ;)
The industry don't want the skunk, because alot of people don't like the smell.

Dam these threads piss me off. I had RKS 10 years ago but under a different name. My house and clothes smelled like skunk. Everywhere I went old ladies would start looking around and say "I smell a skunk". My gf used to get in trouble at work because her coat smelled like a skunk. She had to put her coat in a closet. I had to put my coat outside when I visited my Mom's house because everybody hated the skunk smell. I never did have any skunk seeds though and I can't remember which weed that I had that was so skunky. I had a White Widow that I culled because it smelled like cat piss, maybe it was that one. I kinda thought it was the Sour D but I still have that and it's fuely not skunky. I don't think it was the Jack Herrer either. It totally sucks because I had the nasty skunk smell and I can't remember which one it was but it wasn't actual skunk seeds.

Wait, so are you saying the use of mycorrhizae is contributing to the "disappearance" of skunk terps?? . ... because literally everyone uses MYKOS or Great White now, it seems.
What i posted is Periconia byssoides a myco is being studied because it eliminates 321 MBT. 321MBT is skunk thiol responsible for the odor

Oh people like it alright. I will agree with you that it’s very likely that the industry didn’t want it because it’s rather conspicuous and in a “war on drugs” legal environment with draconian prison sentences growing/possessing weed that announced it’s self before it walked into a room was a riskier proposition. I will also agree with you that the dessert weeds sell particularly well.

But to summarize skunk as not having a viable consumer market is way off base IMHO.

If you need some confirmation browse a seed bank or two and see how many times the word skunk comes up in the description.

A billion dollar industry don't care about a bunch of forum members.

I didn't say anything about forum members I suggested you look at seed sellers descriptions used to market seeds and how often the word skunk is used.

And with that I am out :bigjoint:


PS Here is some Kevin Jodrey if you need another frame of reference

Different strokes for different folks. But rest assured, there are MANY people who want the original road kill skunk and there are MANY people who are more interested in effects than fruity smells. That said, I like both.

You said (Oh people like it alright) are you talking about you and you're friends or members asking for rks? Also seed sellers using that word for basically everything that stinks.

I grew it a few years ago and was very disappointed. It had very little smell at all. Everything else in the room smells stronger than the Texas Roadkill. I grew out 6 seeds before I gave up. Maybe I just got a bad batch.
i ran two packs to get that one stinky keeper.. and it does get way stinkier as it cures.. this one anyways
