I was just wondering if you guyse ever plan on bringing this strain back. I remembered reading that it was an f1 that was 50% columbian 50% acapulco/afghan (the same as skunk 1). Is that true?

[muddy waters]

i wish someone would bring back the original big thicket hog-nosed skunk from southeast texas aka the rooter skunk aka texas skunk aka the gulf coast badger skunk aka that ol' conepat.

unfortunately, no one preserved the genetics so its classic skunkiness--and it was a true, old-fashioned, never hybridized full blooded skunk--is gone forever.

Alas... we've lost the skunkyness. even skunk they sell now ain't so skunky anymore.

Ciao Zamalito,

wild Sk is the partly stabilized Sk as brought by Clarke and Watson to Amsterdam in the mid 80's.

Peace.

oh, the good old road kill skunk. smells just like a real polecats ass. I was very young but I still remember that unbelievable odor. I am sure some oakie from miskogie has some still growing in the woods somewhere. I understand somewhat the argument about the smell creeping through brick walls getting people busted. but you would think someone would have put some of those seeds away instead of discontinuing the genetic line,WHAT A LOSS. maybe one day we will get lucky and either find one in some hybrid or seedline(hope). just my .02, cyrus.....

The skunky smell lives in the old wild skunk seeds.
I know these seeds have been preserved by several dedicated breeders, so nothing is really lost…

Here are some pics of a Cultivators Choice “sweet“ Skunk#1 selected from 30 seeds(CC Skunk#1 being the exact same cross than TFD The Pure).
It was the most indica dominant and one of the only five true females I got from 12 different girls.
The taste and effect are indeed interesting but the number of females exibiting male flowers sucks for real...and they do produce seeds…
It is sad TFD restricted themselves to offer the same old cross made in 1984 rather than an improved version without “hermie “ tendancies.
I’m not an antiquities collector…

Hope this helps the true connoisseurs.
Peace.

I'm growing the pure at first it looked like it was male... and IT WAS.. then the female flowers started showing, and male flowers stopped... now 3 wks in.. it appears like its flowering nicely... I suppose it will produce some seeding.. but it hasn't produced any viable bananas yet... How likley will it be that this plant is substantailly fine.. and will have nice bud... versus looking like something thats been in a field with males all around it.... I also have other plants in the vicintiy?

[Kashgar]

According to my experience, the male flowers appear during the last three weeks of flowering indoor….
The seeds produced were not at all mature but more like erzatz: small underdevelopped white pods. This is still not pleasant to smoke and much labor intensive to sort them out.
I also grew TFD The Pure several years ago with the same result. I don’t have pics of them but still have the breeder pack they came from.
At the same time than The Pure, I had good results with TFD RMC.
Peace.

It is sad TFD restricted themselves to offer the same old cross made in 1984 rather than an improved version without “hermie “ tendancies.

Maybe, but also maybe it is cool to have the line in that early unspoilt form too, gives others something to work with. Would be Interested to hear your views on the quality of high and the smell's of the plants.

Also would you say these are lines from the Skunk2? or is 'wild Skunk' something else Kashgar?

Peace, hhf

Q,
It is the old Californian Skunk#1...

Now please avoid to use the infos you gather on the net to help you put on the market some fake wild skunk seeds, the same way as you are doing with your fake haze seeds without pedigree...
If your pure sativa is good no need to use a already well established strain name.It will become famous by itself.
You re not doing a good thing for the community when you act like that.
And if you re really interested as you often proclaim about Skunk#1 genetics why not try to grow the different version and see by yourself.

Paz.
