My homemade 4 BB x KN are doing well and recovering from Blueberry mutant and twisty leaf syndrome a few days after first up potting. Very wide leaves and less twisty with each set. Should be fun from here on!

Peak used to offer a skunk #1 back in the early 2000's. Here's the pic from cannabis sativa vol 1. I thought I was going crazy... I checked my seed vault and I had a pack of the sweet skunk and a couple marked skunk#1. wonder why he stopped offering this

Peak never stopped offering his "Skunk", they simply changed the name to "Sweet Skunk", so they are one and the same. Here's a couple of quotes from MikeJ regarding his Skunk:

MikeJ: love the Skunk! (Sk#1) it is very potent, but a clean high. Not a stinky skunk, it's sweet. We purchased this many years ago from the pioneers of the industry. Cheers!

MikeJ: We changed the name of our Skunk to Sweet Skunk to be more accurate. The original female was an Island Sweet Skunk.

Also, a forum user asked MikeJ about it:

I did ask MikeJ about the origins of his Skunk line a couple of years ago. I was told, that was ISS (BCSC) X Skunk #1 of a very famous European Seedbank (probably Sensi Seeds).

So Peak's Sweet Skunk is Island Sweet Skunk from BCSC crossed with a Skunk #1 from Holland (most likely Sensi Seeds), then inbred and stabilized.

Just to complete the info, here's the different descriptions PeakseedsBC gave the Skunk through the years:

2004: Skunk: Indoor/Outdoor. Highly recommended. Vigorous growth, and very fertilizer tolerant. Consistent, potent and sweet. Eight-nine weeks flowering period

2008: Skunk (indoor/outdoor) Pure Skunk. Very vigorous growth, fert tolerant, sweet smelling (not skunky), potent high. Excellent finished product. I love to watch this plant grow and bulk up. 40/60 indica/sativa. Eight-nine weeks flowering indoors. Med /tall tall height.

2010 Sweet Skunk Flowering period: 8-9 weeks indoor
Potency: Very strong. Growth Pattern: Grows fast, tall and branchy. Flower early (2 weeks after germinating) for manageable height and one large main bud. Feed generously. Breeders comment: Awesome sativa, huge sugary buds, stimulating, great for activities, good day-time smoke, high as opposed to stone. Excellent for breeding. Height can be a problem.

As you can see, even the earliest description says the Skunk is "sweet", so whoever wrote the copy for the Cannabis Sativa Vol 1 book "your crop you will have that inimitable stench, the Skunk smell that everyone knows and loves, so you will have to invest in some charcoal air filters to get rid of the smell" never actually grew out Peak's Skunk and was just doing creative writing.

Makes sense to me now. I only used the book cause I was too lazy to dig thru old forums to find the info. I thought it was weird he used to call it skunk#1. Either way I've grown it out a time or 2 and I'm pretty sure I enjoyed it... never came across a peak line that I didn't enjoy really. Mj knows what's up for sure.
So his skunk atleast has some Skunk in it then . If its ISS x sensi skunk #1 then the stability of the IBL should have made his job of selecting for true breeding traits a bit more easy.

to whomever has grown out peaks seeds ISS/ skunk what does it taste like.
aroma never matters to me and it makes me wince when the aroma/smell is now lifted beyond taste and high in so many descriptions of strains now days.

 

[Underground Scientist]

I got two Sweet Skunk going 12/12 from seed.



I let you know if it doesn't turn out to be a sausage party.

I can't remember off the top of my head.... and that bothers me. Looks like I'm going to have to pop some of those Seeds and revisit.

Couple of the peak plants I have on the go. Day 37 since flip
First up is a short blueberry smelling Northernberry

Another northernberry

Just up potted 4 homemade BB/KN that have twisty leaves and even roots are strange! Second up pot and a week from 10/14!

Got a really interesting cultivar showing up in the skunkberry. The two really sativa looking ones (bottom right )came out of the same pack as the one directly above them. I’m so used to seeing little to no variation in Mikes strains.....the bigger one (bottom left) is a sweet skunk and the ones at the top left are all Cindy’s.. I just Topped all of them to take clones which I put on 12/12 to sex.

That is interesting. The pack of skunkberry I ran was the first peakseeds strain I did that didn't show the 2-3 phenotypes. All of the females were pretty much identical from beginning to end. My guess is I somehow didn't get the SS leaner in my pack.
It was really great smoke. Now I am curious what those ss leaners will be like lol

[hillbill]

My SS have looked just like those lower right plants early on. Genes being dominant there with looks anyway. Looks like a fun grow.

Can anyone pick out northern Skunk and kushberry?

It is a little early to tell and I have only run a pack of each. But if memory serves me correct, the ones with the fat rounded fingered leaves are gonna be your KB and the ones with the narrower leaves are gonna be your NS.
I posted pictures of both at chop time somewhere in this thread.
Cheers

With leaves so wide and twisted, I see Blueberry in the twist and Kush in the width. The other ones look like my Northern Skunk I’ve been planting for years. A big fave here.

 

[GreenHighlander]

For anyone else wondering, like I was about what Kush MikeJ uses in his Kush crosses. He answered that question with, Sea-Of-Green Purple Kush. A very popular kush on the island. Not a heavy yield but really potent.
Also he mentioned the curling I am seeing on a few of the Kushskunks is a trait and not from nute sensitivity like I had thought.
One of the KS I have dubbed "Curly Sue"

I have 10 bogglegum in the back. 3 northern Skunk which are the biggest and some kushberry in there too. Oh and a cross of R2 and kushberry on the left. 3 year old seeds but they still have lots of vigour

 

[GreenHighlander]

Nice stable. You must be excited for flowering?
Cheers

They’re going outdoors. Going to do a few outdoor pollen chucks this year.
