Old School Skunk, who's found it???

[Blue back]

And dude, that breaks my heart. All those genetics gone. At least you've got the skunk though. You ever planning on trying to pop em?[/QUOTE]

Some of the seeds that were thrown out were priceless. I also had some Purple Afghan (Purple #1) seeds that some friends had kept alive with mother plants since the early 70's. They begged me to sell them back to them when I found them in a couple oz's in the mid 2000's. Worst part about it was I had them totally legally thru the medical marijuana law. They came to my house while I was locked up and throughout all my shit. A 40+ strain collection, all my paraphernalia and of course my seeds. I got both seed and strain collection back up to high numbers but most all are from 2012 on. All the legendary shit is long gone.

I've always been an outdoor grower for most of my life for lack of having an indoor place to grow. I was saving them for an indoor grow but am afraid I waited to long to pop these 2 S#1 seeds. They were not stored well either. Worth a try though

Theres lots of G13 stories. One that I herd was grown in Mississippi on a military base. Supposedly It was grown to support the what they thought was gonna be federal government approved medical marijuana patients. I herd there were only a handful of people approved for Glicoma. They would get 20 pre rolled joints a week or something like that. No one knows where all that access went. I think I know.lol Government experiment 13. I've also herd Government Hanger 13, government Field 13 and what not. I did get it through a Sargeant in the military reserves. In pure form its supposedly a lost strain just like Skunk #1. There's a bunch of crosses from a stud male but never again true G13. Anyone else have any G13 stories or know what G13 stands for? Like I said I got it like clockwork every Friday for over 10 years. It was most definitely grown on a commercial scale. I wasn't the only one getting half pounds just in the Grand Rapids Michigan area alone. I've Herd stories of similar experiences all around the Midwest. Always looked and smelled exactly the same for all them years. Perfectly trimmed cone shaped buds. Super lime green with big fat bright orange hairs. I had found some seeds through all them years. I had a pretty killer old seed stash including a few Skunk #1 seeds but my mom through them all away when I got arrested one day. I still have 2 old as hell S#1 seeds. But there almost 30 years old now.lol

Not a military base...

The University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) has been growing marijuana at their campus for as long as I can remember. It is a government contract. You can go to the Ole Miss campus and go to the field they have and smell the marijuana. It is behind a 10ft barbed wire topped chainlink fence with guard posts all around it. Been there for atleast 40 years.

It’s hard to apply for the DEA approved grant to grow this plant. It costs millions of dollars to construct a farm like the one at Ole Miss, but the DEA says they will work with more growers to expand the supply and variety of marijuana for research.

Inside the marijuana research lab at Ole Miss, the potent smell of marijuana lingers in the air. The grow room, housing plants that are up to six feet tall, buzzes with the sound of heat lamps and ventilation systems. The entire complex is surrounded by multiple guard towers, two enormous barbed wire fences and countless security cameras.

The worst I lost when I got busted was a lousy triple beam that didn't even work lol. I just bought it because the shit looked cool. This is like when my dad told me my grandma threw out all his old 60's Marvel comics as a kid. Shit hits you right in the gut. If I drank I'd pour one out for those strains.

But what's past is past I guess. I like to think there are some old heads out there holding onto some magic that they'll eventually be convinced enough to share. This new shit is so boring most of the time. I've been on a hunt for the old stuff myself, from before I was born. I wish there was some sort of preservation group on here so we could all trade what we have and bring back the stuff that's dying/died off.

Anyway, it's definitely worth a shot to pop those. You never know until you know.

Why do I suddenly feel like going to school?

Smoke too. Nature is gnarly. I wouldn't experiment on these first, but a lot of seeds apparently wait for smoke/heat as a signal to end their dormant period.

For conifers, I know they require excess heat in order to cause the germination (their version of scoring); as in a forest fire to get the new growth to occur. It's pretty cool.

It really is.

 

[hillbill]

Some seeds have to be eaten and then deposited in order to germinate. We don’t do that at my house. Paper towel in ziplock bag!

 

[colocowboy]

Cannabis likes to freeze and pop! Try putting them in the freezer before germination, especially older beans. Combined with the moon cycle, is maximum potential.

Blueskiesvienna on IG might have it? Anybody else peep this? Sorta sounds suspect, almost like TNF all over again but in the UK this time lol. Purple garlic skunk = RKS? I don’t think so.

Yeah I dont trust Europeans at all when it comes to skunk. They have no idea, at all, what skunk smells like.

 

[Tomba]

Blueskiesvienna has never smelled a skunk dead or alive in his life fyi

 

[Blue back]

That's where it was over bread and lost

 

[Craigson]

My theory stands- and a lot of stories on here from when young back this up.

 

[Blue back]

Lol^^^^

 

[Chemically altered]

Lol^^^^

That is pretty funny.

I feel like a combination of old-timey growing techniques contributed to skunkiness. Growing in poorly ventilated basements under stolen streetlights, watering with sulfurous well water, fertilizing with blue powders, incomplete drying and curing, and then compressing it down for transport. All of these things add up to weed with an anaerobic bacterial skunk funk that we don't smell anymore, because nobody grows like that anymore. Even with the same genetics, modern techniques bring out the true phenotypical expression instead of the slightly fucked up stank weed we used to get.

Now that is just silly.

I remember I grew some back in my 20s. My step mom and dad were helping me move and I harvested that day before they got there. My step mom kept giving me strange looks. They knew i smoked so i finally said you wont believe what I did, because i figured they all ready knew. My step mom gave me that same strange look, and says you picked up that dead skunk off the road didn't you!!! I was rolling Man I do miss that icky sticky!!

 

[thenotsoesoteric]

Skunk #1 from dutch passion circa 2001 gave me all cat piss skunk bud. Shit was 100% skunk smelling. Itd fuck your house car and clothes up and you could smell that shit a block away from the house.

I stopped growing it cuz I didnt want to go to prison, lol.
