I was wondering if a breeder could breed a similar version to the Original nose melting Skunk1, using around the same parental heritage
If breed' with W.O.S Afghani LR- x W.O.S Columbian Gold- x Sensi Mexican sativa -
would it be possible to find that really good selection , Using numbers and a few good years.
I just miss that really smelly skunk in the late 90s i found in a relatives stash labeled Cultivators choice Skunk 1 man if i only knew what i know now...

I believe sk1 is (aco gold X col gold) x Afghan

Not with those genetics.

The Sensi Mexican Sativa is (Durban x Pakistani Hashplant) x Oaxacan. Or the other way around. Regardless, none of those strains are close to what Sam had access to.

I doubt it could be done using Sam's original stock, unless Sam himself worked it.

I thought it was [(col gold X afg ) X (afg X col gold)] X Acapulco gold

You also have to realize that Sam didn't just take a few seeds, make a pollen chuck and call it a day. If you have ever read any of his postings, you'd know he selects from as large a population as possible, and only selects the best. And he didn't stop after the first cross. He then went on to grow out large numbers of plants and continued the selection process on the three way cross. Skunk wasn't just crossing three strains. He worked that line, selecting from a large population to achieve the final result.

It wasn't a luck of the draw, it was a work of passion and skill.

The skunk of old is hard to breed for it does not like to carry over in crosses . any one know why ?

[dezman]

I dont think it will happen, sam selected from thousand of plants with pure varieties. Colombian gold from world of shi...is too early to be pure. Afghan kush for me it was just crap (to me). And mexi sativa is a polyhibrid...
Even if you have the raw varieties you will need some help from SamS to know what to look for in the selection process.
I bet you can do a similar strain with 3 landraces but it will be luck if you just find something worth by popping 10 seeds of each variety. He said he made selections upon 10000 males!!!

If u have a hankering for Sk#1, how about the Flying Dutchmen? Either skunk #1 or the Pure?

No personal experience with these but seems like one of the best modern links to the good old SK#1?

I also wanted something old school, so I went with Sensi Skunk#1. Im currently growing two Sensi Skunk #1 regs and they are totally different in structure, but the smell on #2 is so much more intense. It has a lemon pledge funk scent.





I got about two more weeks on the first one, and the second I have about another month or so. They both started slowly in flowering, but have really bulked up now. I like #2 more than one. I will come back in a month once I have smoked them to give a report.

I can't remember too much at the moment, there was the first cross that got femmed then cross to the third parent, so yes it could be possible to redo it, good luck as it may be difficult to sift through the same or similar genetics and get the same result without numbers to find what you need without the same genetics. I would suggest looking to cannabiogen for Colombians, maybe Mexicans, afghan I am not sure, maybe the Pakistani chitral would be close enough or sensi's maple leaf indica?
