^^^^ buy both sets of seeds and see for yourselves. like i said, i guess ed rosenthal is wrong, and you guys are right. each to their own,d
Who's are you talking about when you say grow out both? I'm assuming one is Feds, and the other's is?? Maybe SOL? Next Gen? Just tryin to get an understanding.

Also, where is the best place to source these genes, besides Feds, which can be picked up on the boo...?

i've been thinking the same thing dank...but they've been chillin there for a LONG time...are they still any good ya think? I've smoked this strain several times, and pretty consistently, however, i have no clue where it came from (grower's a shithead fucking loser **** who is stingy as fuck!). I'd like to get my hands on something serious from this line...just don't know where to start.

iss is 65 bucks @ www.cannabismarijuana.com they take about a week mail order. they wont be under jordans name. its marc emery's catalogue but only mail order. i forget what alias he uses. i prefer the iss. im not the biggest fan of long cycle strains. my system is designed for 60 day crops.

Sweet Skunk(sol breeder steve cut - selected with dj short in swiss) has nothing to do with sweet island skunk or island sweet skunk

all the confunsing is coming from the fact that there 2 strains from vancouver...
Sweet Island Skunk
Island sweet Skunk
AND THEY ALSO CALLED IT SWEET SKUNK!!!!
and one of them is a cross with white widow( i do not know which)
both are the fast finishing sativa skunk#1s

and sweet skunk(sol) is an 13-14 week sativa almost haze, very sweet smelling

I have the sol cut in flowering right now - indoor and outdoor!!! and its not a fast strain!!

Obviously they are different if you grow the seeds out.. one is a selfed sweet skunk and the other is sweet skunk x white widow .. not to mention that federation lost genetics due to a bust and I would suspect they probably just continued breeding with F2's or something.

I am not saying they are the same strain.. they are not .. but ISS is based off sweet skunk.

Ed Rosenthal said one thing.. the Cannabible says Fed stole it from breeder steve.

^^^^^once again you realy arent making educated statements, i order from them all the time. marc emery over the counter seeds got busted. not his network of distrubution. think about it. fed is done pretty much. jordan and next generation are pretty much the same thing. i will agree to disagrre with you. if youve grown iss and white widow. you would know that there is no ww in iss. read the reference i left in previous posts quoted from ed rosenthals big book of bud 1.

do you think marc doesnt make money from seeds still? did you check out the website? full moon is over, no excuses now. d

ps i said marcs catalogue, not him personally delivering them. ww came out in 94/95. iss been aroung since 70's

i know all of bs's crew, and dj's and dr clone and chimera. iss finishes in 50-60 days. it is not the 10-14 week strain in that article

Dr. Clones site says this...

ISLAND SWEET SKUNK: Pure Sativa. True connoisseur strain. Piney smelling, beautiful plant. Amazing soaring high. From the original "Breeder Steve" clones. Buds have long foxtails of stacked calyxes. Flower time: 12-14 weeks. (It is worth the wait.)

Island Sweet Skunk

Indoor
The Island Sweet Skunk (ISS) has been grown on Vancouver Island in BC for many years as a stabelized Sativa-Skunk cross. The ISS has sugary fat buds with long, thick hairs that turn golden orange after the 6th week. Tall vigorous growth with a dramatic increase n bud density for the last 3 weeks of it''s flower cycle. This strain has been tested at 19.6% THC when finished, making it a major favorite amongst the medical community, as it takes less to properly medicate. Admired for its strong Sativa like high, the ISS has a very unique taste and odour that stands out from any other strain we've ever come across. typically finishing outdoor by late October, ISS is one of the main strains that gives BC a reputation as being a leader in the breeding of world class medical marijuana. For size & strength, ISS gives the best bang for the buck.

Flowering time: 60 to 70 days

so its not the SOL CUT....................

Your right it is not the SOLS cut........its a hybrid of it.....its common knowledge in the seed industry here in BC. A few companies have reaped the rewards of Steves hard work, FED, CCK, Barneys.... either genetically or by using names that Steve used.

Dr. Clones site says this...

iknow who dr clone is, and the guy who he buys his cuts from, that was a gifted"sweet skunk" from bs to him. it takes 10-14 weeks to finish. dr clone should change the name, because he isnt as intersted in lineage as us folks are. he actually got his white widow stock from me, and the chronic cut he has too. marketing gimmicks dont realy mean much these days, especially from dr clone, hes a geezer.

i know a lady whos worked in and around grows for 30 years, she daosnt even know what nl#5 is nor does she care. just because you make money off the industry does not mean you care how or why or when. their arent that many "weed geeks" like us involved high up in the game, money is the bottom line at that stage, which is fine.

fed says a sativa skunk.

read ed rosenthals big book of buds. iss is not sweet skunk. i would say bs sweet skunk is a iss hybrid based on eds qoutes. d

ps, i also know geezers who have grown for 30 plus years and dont know what nl#5 is either, they just like money, not names or lineages. its just a cash crop for 90% of anyone i meet in the industry.

Here it is.....No body really cares..... Get both, try them out.....throw the ISS out and continue growing the SOL Sweetskunk clone! The fact of the matter is no one can control what someone does with the seeds or clones that they sell them. I used to get mad at these things but iam over it. This is also the reason why you have people with great clones that wont let anyone have them. Its also the means of their demise if the current keeper of the clones gets busted and there are not copys in circulation. There is not much honour or trust in this line of work anymore. I hope things in the future get better....we will see.

Peace
