Kevin Jodrey - The Lost Terpene Profiles of 80s Skunk Strains
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 янв 2018
- Wonderland Nursery's Kevin Jodrey shares his expertise in the unique stanky & skunky terpene profiles of 80s and early 90s Skunk strains. These incredibly loud strains became less popular with growers when Camp enforcement began in Northern California and most growers migrated to fruity and floral strains in order to help avoid detection. Thanks to Kevin, Wonderland Nursery and The Ganjier for sharing this video with us and thanks to True Terpenes for sponsoring this channel.

I totally agree with Kevins views
For me those old Skunks wipe the floor with these modern strains
I think the cannabis community lost its way
Time to return to Skunk
Only if We Find them Lost Profiles!
It was a necessary due to prohibition.
@@g.russell4140 damn shame
Agreed ✌
I think some of the old skunk strains are still in Costa Rica.
I miss the psychoactive bag weed from early 2000s the ones that had no ceiling you would just keeping getting higher and higher...also made us laugh for no reason and kept us smiling for hours....
That was really good sativa people rarely grow good sativas anymore because they take longer and you have to have more experience as grower to grow them properly and everybody is hooked on bullshit indica and cookies and gelato
i remember these loved em .
For real!!!!!!!!
Sometimes I think was it the weed back then or my tolerance was way less back then.
Sounds like nostalgia to me. I get high like that all the time.
Finally people interested in weed who don't try to be too cool.
@Magic yeah I didn't think getting ripped off was cool to people lol.
@Magic i wear supreme but dont act like that.
@Magic lol, they usually have flat brim hats with stickers still on them
yea lol when i turned 18 it quickly became not cool and unfortunately something I don't tell anyone because I get judged so fking hard (in the Netherlands, they have a very bad image of weed, also I still need to meet a dutch person that can handle the effect since they shut down after a puff...) so I am ashamed of telling people
I've smoked home grown dirt weed better then dispo weed you cannot grow weed on a commercial scale every weed requires diffrent environments diffrent lighting. Dispos cut their shit down when it "looks done" no care in the trichome development no care in the curing process which is absolutely important they push it out as fast as they can. Gotta love when big pharma takes over. Shoulda let the people who've been doing this for yearsssssss take over.
The Green Bud, Skunk we got in 93 in nor cal was amazing. Reeked like a skunks puccy and hard to stash. Expanded in the lungs like no other and left you with a throbbing, out of this world high.
We had the best Bud between 1976 and 1979, with Jimmy Carter. They were experimenting and had 4 chromosome weed, we had real tie stick, real humble county, real Maui, Wally, rural acapcoal gold Panama, red Colombian Lebanese, Harsh Bombay hash before we ruined everything over there with the wars. Reagan the asshole he actually made cocaine legal Six months a mister meaner Before it was brought back to a felony, then he made marijuana schedule one with heroin and cocaine or 2 or 3. Whatever the f*** that is, whose, weirdless well, how will grab everyone? Those people against cannabis and grab their souls for a turnity in hell
yes the true skunks we had were among the best weed ever! it smelled so strong, indeed it was a problem because it was illegal... no plastic bag would contain that smell :)
It's nice to hear something from a guy without a straight billed hat.
Lmao
Exactly!
I finally got my straight billed hat and I am supposed to put my beanie back on? I can't keep up. 🙄
I got it at the National Cannabis Festival 🇺🇸
Camo with a big pot leaf on it.
Can't bring myself to bend the bill yet. Rockin it flat and tilted. My beanie is still for colder weather and tipi living.
I’m glad I’m not the only one begging for old school skunk! Every time I got to the dispensary, I can’t find thy old school skunk. Hell I can’t find anything with a strong smell. I can remember years ago my friends having pot that smelled soooooo strong. Triple bagged inside the pocket and can still smell it
Mike Kline - unfortunately, i believe this is from the curing process. There are no true small growers so people don’t use glass to cure. People need to have a quick turn around so people are using other methods to speed up the cure.
@@vrab. I believe it is mostly genetics
no you need a shit load of worms and worm casting in your soil to have it smell that strong
@@vrab. it has to do with the lack of minerals, hormones, and enzymes in the soil. Not if it was cured in glass or not. The problem with plastics is that they are easily electrically charged, and via the power of static cling; rip trichomes off the bud. Glass doesn’t do this. The problem is people actively choose to not feed thier plants right as they are cash cropping. Buy the same cut they have at the store as flower, Grow your own, grow it with lots of microbes in the soil, even w/ synthetic fertilizers, and you will be astounded by how much better you did than the cash cropper with the exact same clone.
Julian Kirby - the problem exist in indoor grows too. And you can control the feeding schedule with precision, so it has nothing to do with the soil.
I’ve grown strawberry banana indoors and the whole grow room smelled like bazooka joe strawberry gum! Ahhh memories.
But for anyone who grows, they know about the hay smell if you take shortcuts in curing.
Most grow-ops do wet trim (trim then dry time for a week or less) versus the old school dry trim (dry first for 2-3 weeks then trim) which already will cut the terpene and smell production. This is one benefit for small growers who aren’t pressed for turnaround time, they can dry trim.
Next paper bag and turkey bags leach the moister wayy faster than glass. Someone doing turkey bags after a wet trim, can start selling it in 2-3 weeks. In glass jars it won’t be ready for at least 4 weeks.
Miss that Chronic Skunk from about 88-89 to around 94. STRAIGHT dead skunk smell coming from your pocket,open the bag eyes watering onion funk nothing else even close Double,triple,quadruple bag that shit it didn't matter. Sticky AF too, stick a bud right to the wall and make bets with your boys on how long it stay there for lol. The Skunk you didn't leave the house with the whole ounce,you only brought just enough with. Been running old packs from Sensi and a couple others on and off since early 2000's found some good ones but not a pheno that's even close to the Road kill skunk.
@Cody Monko Nice. Message me your email.
Yes
I know exactly what you're talking about. The last time I saw the real skunk was around 98' the closest thing I've seen in years is the chemd and GMO strains, but even then it's just a hint of it, not that nose wrinkling everyone on your goddamn block knows you have an eighth skunk from the '90s.... It literally smelled just like a dead skunk.... I think a lot of it was marijuana was still illegal back then, and a lot of the growers didn't want to grow something that stunk up the entire neighborhood.... Sam, the skunkman himself says he tried his hardest to breed that trait out of those plants, and it looks like he succeeded....
I have some really old seeds from bag weed .. I think I’ll pop some and see
@@Mr.Helper. do it bro...... I look at every seed like a lottery ticket man...... If you find something good, don't be stingy with it!!!😉👍👍👍
These strains are still alive and well in Anchorage Alaska and the Matanuska valley but not really in the stores, its in the homegrows that are still EVERYWHERE, Alaska has been quasi legal since the 80s so we never lost those genetics, not sure why they havent made their way down to Cali, maybe you should take a trip Kevin.
Can you make sure you get those to Dave Zajano next time he visits? He will make sure the east coast breeders get the genetics.
Thanks eh... 🤙🏻
bring back those funky skunky smells n youll be my hero great work amigo
Finally, someone is willing to backtrack and re-establish those skunky strains. Those strains from Norcal in the '80's were the best. Heavy rosin profile buds are so hard to find now. Keep up the the good work. I hope you're successful.
Yessir !
Can’t forget that 1980s sticky sticky chronic that smell was one of a kind and put you to sleep fast regular size joint half one that and you nearly dreaming the real indica era
The romulan was insanity!
You know some select few growers out there still carry those strains in their quiver. They probably don’t have any online profiles or sell to any brokers but just grow and smoke the best of the best in these lost strains. Those people are living the life.
Those people hoarding good genetics and letting amazing cultivars die with them are fucking assholes in opinion.... This is not a plant that's made to hoard and keep for yourself... Anyone that's holding on to these old strains should give them out before they die... You're only hurting our own community... Not too mention you can make a lot more money off genetics than flower these days, I live in California everyone has lbs of flower... Amazing genetics is where the real money is if you know what you are doing...
For 5 years i crossbreed 8 strains and in the first year i had only 1 short indica strain with a mango flavor . Now after 5 years i have also lemon . chocolat . And a sort of tropical fruit flavor . Growing cannabis is a never ending learning curve :}
What strains did you cross and from what breeders or seed banks? Thanks 😊
I love my cherry pie it gives off a skunky sour sweet cherry flavor, I want to try crossing it with something else I find just as good some day
Marc u sir are one of the reasons this guy is looking for the true skunk
@@Kyle-ze5qy triple cheese by barneys farm. trust me
Finally a interviewer that does not interrupt this Man constantly .😉Kudos thanks for letting Him truly speak.
I started smoking weed in the early 2010s (2013) and its nice hearing about older strains.
I love all of your videos, and as I am watching this, three years after you made this, I have to say I am so thankful for the efforts you make. I am soaking this all in and so, so, so appreciative. Every video opens up new windows in my mind to view my favourite hobby. Thanks for all you do and please keep doing this for as long as you enjoy doing so. It makes me very happy and engaged with content like this!
Such amazing information. I stumbled across Kevin only recently and I'm incredibly fascinated by this man. I have never had a bucket list, but I'm making one, and meeting him one day is going on top.
GREAT information.
Fantastic! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Legalization can become overwhelming, but Mr Jodrey’s passion and wealth of information are inspiring.
what great info! this guy needs to make more vids. what an education! Thanks for the upload of this! Really like this guy.
As I get deeper and deeper into growing I allways come back an rewatch his videos every 6 months . But with new ears .. so much information I missed
I had to watch cause I just popped a skunk #1 bean from 1990. It took 9 days, I almost have up but out of the 6 beans only the one germinated. It is looking great. I'm brining the skunk back baby!
1990? that's freaking crazy
Damn can I get a seed 🙏
Sell it to someone who can legitimately re establish the real plant..so we can all partake.it must be quite valuable…though I know not what 90’s weed was. I want weed fro 79/80,preferably. Lettuce pray
Dude how can I get some?
Unfortunate you only had 6 beans, I doubt they are feminized; you want to pop as many as possible 50-100 and only keep the 5 very best plants.
I miss the Indica skunk buds we used to get in California in the early 80s.
Kevin, I'm looking for these as well. thanks for this video.
One of my favourite from late 90s early 2000 was Vancouver island Sweet Skunk I hit That for days. Amazing
Skunk was still around when I was in high school and I graduated in 96. I remember the seeds used to be perfectly round, not like typical seeds.
This is awesome appreciate you sharing this documentar on cannabis
Thank you Kevin....you fill my house with great education....love it!!
It is so refreshing to hear these topics discussed beyond the basic break down everyone is force fed today. All of these minor conversions and interactions of compounds within the plant are vast and complex in terms of how our sense of taste and smell might interpret them. I no longer need to attempt to explain this topic to others, I can just link them this video. Thanks guys.
I miss the strains that pored resin all over your lips and plugged up your joint before you got half way through it.
Me too. No matter how dank the weed I get nowdays. It doesnt do that anymore. It leads me to believe that the weed back then was actually stronger.
Jacob Powell well. You are right. Ive been getting really fresh often still not fully dry (the way i like it bud). Maube thats it..
Probabaly has less to do with “strains” and more to do with moisture in the actual buds (I’m not a scientist) but this isn’t uncommon, it actually happened twice to me this week and it’s annoying tbh
I lost a friend last year and just before growing season he died his caretaker gave me a bag of seeds at about 40 seeds in the little teeny bag and she said this you saying give this to you cuz I supplied him the last three years when he was sick with whatever he needed so he was my patient and I gave him what he needed and he was a growler way before me and he got me into cannabis years ago so he turned around and when he died he wish those seeds to me there are from the 80s and 90s and he had his nurse gave them to me not labeled an all mixed up well I grew like you guys are saying I grew all these plants and I just now started rolling up a joint with this one plant and I'll be George may I smoke two hits off of it and it look like I must have spit all over the end of The Joint cuz it look like spit on the inside of the joint was coming up inside the joint was that moisture I have no idea I could not like the joint after three hits I could not figure it out. The Joint part in the end of The Joint was like a rock I don't get if I broke off took a little bud again put it in there let it up again to the same thing you can only pipe this medical cannabis. I just don't get it and I can't smoke a joint it fills up with this looks like you lick spit and it went all up inside the paper none of them not on the weed it's on the paper I don't know why it's it's following the paper but I haven't even finished to join hits from the 80s and 90s decedes Are and they're way better the seeds I had last year that just brings me back to the potency maybe 14 the weed is tightly fluffy so it's not Titan Rock and you let the scissor it this he just crush it smoke it and enjoy it no joints it just clogs up what's cool about listening to your broadcast is it makes me think my strategy it's like playing football you're on the other team and you're growing your plants, my teen girl in my plants and if we can get the discussion between you and I back and forth are if it's only once or twice a year it it it it just bring some more High site to me and for you to be talking to us out there and then it gives you more power more power to feel what you're doing and what you're coming up with what I'm doing what I'm coming up with what your techniques are a lot of people have so much techniques that they fuck up their plans but then when you go to smoke their weed it don't get you high what I learned in the 14 years of doing this flat the plant don't plan it in a little bucket and then take it out and put my garage all over and plant in the ground again Mike reisin in the ground just sprinkling top water and Let It Go watered again let it go next thing you know you got a little like white bugs floating in the water who cares that's going to be in the ground now let it let it dry out for two or three weeks my Verizon little bugs micro the what-do-you-call-it the Ecology of what's going on in the soil is come in a lot will you put your plant in the top of their don't mess with nothing just a little hole in the top of your soil put your seed in there what everybody does is what she comes up they cut State Route it they cut it cut it may prove it I don't touch none of my stuff is going to come up the way God says to come up if it's going to come up with all the the branches open on the right side that's the way to plant plays it I don't truly try to make it even up I just planted Let It Go Let It Go erase all the stuff that I put in my soil through the last 3 months before I start my planting boom it's all it's all all the ships down in there where it where the roots have to go down there to go down and have to go down to seek whatever they can get down there so listening to your broadcast and likes me and my plants God bless you
Adam Campbell those super resinous buds still exist. Part of it is the strain and another part of your joint getting super resinous is how you roll your joint. Coned rolls are gonna give you more resin than a cig style roll.
Im so glad this video was uploaded...I've been asking about where those skunks are for many many years
Bc I love it. Thanks for always dropping knowledge
Sensi Seeds Amsterdam in the early 90's sold several amazing skunk varieties, their super skunk was absolutely fantastic.
no skunk came out of Amsterdam ever!!!!
I grew that in 92, they still sell it.
Ij@@1TheWhiteKnight1I've grown some Sensi Seeds in what appeared their packaging and still have it. I ripped it out of ground and threw on the ground and walked away. A few years ago. In the mid 80's I grew that plant indoors and out until 89. Went to prison. It was Afgani #1. What I had a few years ago was not Afgani #1. Most older seed banks can not produce enough seeds. They have others produce them. Thus I don't know if Sensi has that anymore. Real Afgani #1. I know they claim they do. Going to prison destroy many seeds I breed back then. Sensi doesn't want to talk about it. I don't know if the package was counterfeit or what was the reason. I had true breeding Afgani #1 in the 80's.
@@Rick-ne9os bullshit lol
Are you talking about the super sticky weed that you have to cut up the buds with scissors and even wrapped in 3 bags it would stink up a whole warehouse type?
Yea do u have any ?
its alive and well in Anchorage Alaska, I can confirm
Great video! So much valuable information:) thank you very much!
Kevin is the man !! He has soo much info. What a good guy!
❤💛💚🖤❤💛💚🖤
The fact that growers and breeders where mostly operating illegal in the last couple decades, the main component they focused on was getting high THC levels. This has brought us super potent strains, but unfortunately a lot of other beneficial traits where neglected in that process. Good to see there are still people who don't put high THC levels as the ultimate goal of cannabis breeding!
Excellent point, and so true!! Full spectrum is where its at, true stoners know!🍒 i pay no attention to thc levels and stay out of dispensaries
Yep it’s all about the ratios, not the percentage.
Absolutely! Thank you for your wise words.
Yes!
I quit in the early 2000s and started growing a few years ago. I've been baffled by the lack of smell and thinking I messed up. Back in the day you'd smell it through a bag and it'd stink up a whole room. Now I just smell a little bit when smelling the buds.
What an amazing understanding of cannabis.
Thanks for this video
Loving coming back to this year's later 💯
With relegalization, I've been looking for some stinky skunkiness that I haven't seen since around 2002, also some strong Pine that I haven't seen since around '98.
Terpenes mean more to me than raw THC levels. I was in a clone shop a few weeks ago, the guy kept citing THC% and telling me that if I was looking up the potency on Leafly that this one over here was the highest... I was on Seedfinder checking lineage. I'm now looking for the strains I avoided when I literally lived across the street from the State Police.
Hope you find them
@@4everGrowin Thanks. I did happen to run across a bit of skunk in a seed run I did last summer. The offspring have not flowered yet but they look promising in veg.
THC itself is orderless.
Granddaddy purple is the only newer age strain that is said to be an indica but had sativa effects. A True Favorite!!!!
GDP had nothing on OG purple from Seattle OG would make GDP seem like tobacco
Awesome video Shani thanks
I remember import from the 80's that was powerful, and nothing like today's flower, especially the resin.
Lots of terp knowledge!
Great video!kevin talks wise!
im just smoking kalamata Red heirloom strain(RSC,TLT)and is exactly what kevin describe as lost terpene profile,rich in Sesquiterpenes, farnesene,valencene,humulene,limonene.
penetrating hashy-woody/orange-lemon-lime,pencil savings-leathery-cedarwood aromas definitely unique,oldschool herb.
This content is fascinating and I'm so happy to find it
This is great. I was just thinking about the skunk and pine bud from the 80’s. I only had it a few times and it was great. Hope i get to sample Kevin’s work in the future.
I have yet to smoke any true "Pine" compared to the pine taste from the 70's. I miss those days.
me too
I had some Gateway kush that I grew a few years back that had that classic almost overwhelming pine taste
We Mexicans call it Puro Pino an my Dad always talks about it
Those profiles aren’t lost, just hidden.
Y250?
Here in Humboldt County we still have a super skunk floating around. A lot of old school Growers still have the original strain.
You'd think that he would have found it by now, being that he has grow in I believe Mendocino county. I hope he does.
Where are these strains? I miss sour diesel so bad. I need cuttings of a real skunk.

Haven't heard from you in a while!!! Hope everything is ok with you!? GROWERS SMOKER LEARNER'S LOVE ☕ 🍁💚 🙏
had some goldish brown in 80s,,,looked like it had pepper spots, skunky as heck,,,,,,that stuff would make the crickets get loud brother,,,then walk inside & feel like the lights were right over the top of your head,,,eat like crazy & watch the tube turn into an orb,,,
Good times man i remember all this u said
Salvia
I really hope you can bring it back
This is an incredible video
I've grown some plants that had a distinct onion and/or garlic odor. Crazy how legit the odors were. I also remember Columbian Gold from the 70's that tasted like butter. Hopefully it wasn't real butter! And I remember some joints that were so resiny that they would literally bleed on your lips. The resin was a deep blood red.
You wanna experience those buttery nutty terps again check out riot seeds
garlic og.
sounds like gmo
Seriously where did those resiny ones go where you could barely smoke a joint and it would be dripping out the end?
I Just got my order from 420marijuanastore.com 2 hours ago thanks for the recommendation Mike stenlo 💯
So I'm a little too young for the late 80s early 90s specifically but I absolutely had to watch this video when I realized so many strains from when I was starting out (late 90s early 2000s) have been disappearing or how these new strains just don't do it for me in the same way. A little different than his point but I still respect it and respect all the work and science he puts into it
love it,thank u
Great content
that lime green,,,& the christmas tree strain,,,awesome stuff,,,,mid 80's,,,& that root beer & horse piss exhale,,,trying to find those old styles
Good sour diesel
The skunk plants were just perimeter defense in the 80s. Planting them around my field would keep deer and hikers out of the area. Now that you mention it I never had problems with bugs either. I would harvest the land strain sativas and just burry the skunk till next year. Found my seed jar from the 80s. grew a thai, mowi, lambs bread, Christmas tree and one skunk seed was mixed in. Six inches tall and it assaulted your nose from 100feet. It had too go!
Can I get some seeds
@@StingraySativaCo Closest I have found to original land strain genetics was at Nirvana seed bank in Amsterdam. International shipping. Avoid the nick name hybrid stuff. You want county name then skunk only in the name. Afghanistan and Pakistan Land strain are the original skunk genetics.
@@gueto70 I already have the best American genetics you can get and have some pretty fire landrace from Indian landrace exchange and afghan selection already, I’m looking for those 80s seeds from your jar 🤤🤤

Super in depth explanation on to why you just can't rely on absolute numbers and instead work on the complexity on the metabolic procceses that regulate the plant.
Awesome thank you🙏🏻
Birds of a feather 🍁 flock together 👊💨
thanks for the knowledge drop brother ! that pepe le' pu Mmmmm !!! I miss it ! definitely in the afghanis from ssscbank from Holland in the 80s ! I remember smelling them a block away from the grow house ! Paranoid back then !
speak UP
Learn something new every time I watch this🤔😎
Beautiful speech
Nothing beats Shoreline for Skunk FunK. I was one of the OG growers in H-town back in the 00's. Like you said many times in the video I was forced to lose my mother plants running from the law all the time. Now I wish I had them back so bad. In Skunk we Trust.
Shoreline is awesome.one of the rare strains that really smell different.
Yezzir. Texas boyz luv da 🦨 skunk
Where did u acquire the seeds man I’ve heard of this shoreline a few times being from texas and man I’d love to try my hand at growing it
@@edshands6168 greenspointseeds has something kinda similar called Texas toasted Which is a cross of shoreline og x animal cookie strains I don’t think it’s that same issue tho but worth a try . lol good luck 👍🏾
@@edshands6168 HI Ed So the original cut is gone at this point as far as I know. It's been 20+ years afterall. There are however several notable crosses that are at least 50% of the original genetics. They are Texas Chem, Fallen Angel, and although not acknowledged I believe Venom OG by Raredankness Seeds is a Shoreline offshoot. That should get you close I would try Fallen angel first, seeds are cheap and it looks from the picks closest to what I remember the OG cut looking like. Good Luck in your quest from a fellow Texan living in exile. You will know it when you smell it trust me.
Maybe the demand for higher THC has diminished some flavors in certain strains I don't know just saying.
Yes! That sweet deep skunk smell. It was intoxicating and exotic.
Thanks for sharing,
I will share as well brotha
Heavy Duty Fruity by TH Seeds is the last thing I found that had a skunky pheno and I'm trying to find it again! That was 6 years ago.
I have it... But lost true heavy duty fruity when i crossed it with a super dank ogchem male in about 2010... Called it ogchemfruit for many years until another fuck up where was crossed with GDP X m1 resulting in purple skunky phenos with huge buds and a kushback ground.. As of recent have continued abackcross. The one pheno you are talking about is strong in the genetics and amd3 easily distinguishable in any line up.
Please god say we can bring them all backkkkk!!!
Wow great video
Very interesting!
I've been wondering if due to trying to achieve the highest THC % that we have lost those characteristics? I'm good with a 12% thc variety if it has that ol late 80s feel and taste. If plant esters are alcohol based it makes sense why the old greasy flowers had that funk that most varieties fail to have these days? Love you Kevin, thanks for studying and sharing your work.
Lost my strain of Afgani SKUNK i was growing (busted in 83 with four 1000watt hps) I've NEVER seen or smelt anything like it sense. It was sooo PUNGENT sooooo freakin STICKY 👅hope to see it again some day thx
Dude, right?! I hope you see it again someday too.
Don’t you think the Chemdogs of today are reminiscent of the old skunks? It seems like the Chem91 and the ChemD came from the old skunks.
Skunks are my favorite strains. And I grow them in every operation. Well I have my own operation at my house for myself so I grow for myself all the time LOL I'm definitely going to take some notes during this video and hopefully look for some of these characteristics
I'm going nuts with all of these amazing videos. I remember running around town to buy a lid of weed with seeds. That was all there was. Nearly fifty years later, I'm really loving learning about the whole array of cannabis stuff. Like pressing rosin.
Appreciate your grounded perspective on all this. Ego and greed have driven herb cultivation in the wrong direction. W. Mass super skunk is an amazing all-around strain.
I love this
This guy is so old school and actually business what prop 215 was oriented about he's blowing my mind I literally feel like I'm listening to Jack herer right now.. rip JH Peace Love Dippie longstocking
I have the old school skunk from one of my uncles My uncle was an old school grower from detroit. He has been able to keep the seeds all these years and keep them going. He lived in the back woods of southern kentucky which is where you find that old school 80s skunk but it is very hard to find.
If I remember correctly, the seeds my uncle had since 1987 are some seeds he ordered from the original "The Seed Bank". He passed away earlier this month and I had the great opportunity to take over all his seed collection. Im growing some of them this year and I do believe with out a doubt it is the RKS from the 80s. Just by rubbing the stem you know it is that putrid garbage roadkill skunks ass strain.
Sorry about your Uncle. RIP. If it is the real deal skunk smell, cherish and care for it. Make sure you have males to get seeds for next year. Gotta save it. Had some Northern Lights that was kinda skunky. Not like 1988-98 skunk. Peace out.
No doubt the real deal skunk from the 80s. He bred them all these years, and just kept making seeds every crop.
Do you have a large stash of seed? I'll pop some. I've got access to quality grow rooms in Colorado.
RonPaul Revered Id have to say at the moment I have over 500 stashed away easily. Different types with the roadkill skunk too. They are old old school seed. They flower decently fast but are definitely longer flowering than some of the newer strains and indicas. Obviously some phenos flower faster than others, but the high is unbelievable compared to these modern strains. I just dont get that good mellow and on the verge of the psychedelic feeling with the news ones. Something is wrong with them. Not as pure as the old school stuff. But I do plan on doing some large scale breeding with them when my state becomes legal which it should be in the next few years. I will just keep making seeds for them. Even if its just a few hundred every year. I definitely will never let this strain die or leave my hands.
I remember my mom and dad made me leave my jar of skunk 5 in the garage. back then packs didnt come in a "turkeybag" they came in 16 mason jars in a box
that reminded me of when we used to get something called skunk #4 back around '96/'97. $30 1/8th
Kevin is awesome
:Love these discussions with Kevin he has such a passionate approach to everything cannabis related. So the Pine that some seek you might find in Swamp Boys Seeds Georgia Pine which Ive grown the Tina Danza TK x Georgia Pine everything had a super Pine that was over bearing and people enjoyed it alot. Thats a Pine terp for those Pine Lovers, I prefer the Skunky Pine Earthy.
It might perhaps be a matter of pot tolerance but I seem to remember back when l started in the early 90's that l used to feel a pressure between the eyes that l'd get from really good uplifting smoke. It felt like someone was pressing the tip of their finger hard against the bridge of my nose. If l felt that l knew I would have to hang on for the next few hours. And then go into my magical, scary spiritual place, which was the convenience store.
That is the attribute that got the cultivar Headband it’s name. That bit of pressure around the crown of the head. 👍
I recently grew out a very nice pheno of "L.S.D." by Barney Farms, and it smells extremely like burnt rubber and intense skunk. However, once off the vine and dried/cured, the smell morphs into something all together. A sweet earthy flavor.
I had the opposite issue last summer. Grew a Washington Skunk from PNW Roots that was floral on the plant and then cured to be very rubbery. In fact, the ice hash we made from it tasted like serious burnt rubber. It was off-putting for a lot of folks. They kept talking about "residual solvents" but they were grown organically and the only solvent was water. So rare and kind of weird.
Time for an update from Kevin on this topic
I love this guy thanks to berners doc i havent got off his videos this man is a mine of diamonds flawless only. Hes talking about all the old strains i use to smoke i want that super sour diesel back and sulver haze
Thanks for the video Kevin.
I sure do miss the skunk.
Do you remember the Panama Red or, otherwise known as " punta rojo "? And what about Columbian Gold. Or what about Thai stick from Southeast Asia? I wish I could find any of these.
🤜🌟🤛🌾🌾🌾
Crop kings brother! They have the punta rojo Panama red! Fine Columbian steely Dan shit, hit there website up I’ve had nothing but great success w them from start to finish pure gold! Peace ✌️
a lot of those old strains had to come from Vietnam, mexico & central america
Lunar what are you backing our country up for?
I've got a Columbian Landrace from Los Llanos that has skunk terpenes in it. Runs 18-20 weeks in flower.
Man!! I'm old enough and lucky enough to have had some of this skunk bud back in the late 80s!!! Funny Thang happened like 5 years ago in Denver at Starbuds store. They had some Bud called Super Skunk, and it's smelled nothing like Skunk from late 80s, but they still had amazing bud though 😉🌿🌿🌿🌿☘🍀😆
really cool
This should be required material to watch for budtenders
Agreed. Like, most of Kev's videos are in that category.😂👍
