This is so relevant right now since all the commercial crap everywhere these days does not taste like weed!! I would honestly rather smoke Colombian brick weed if I could get my hands on it than all these weird hybrids the dispensaries have these days.

I’ve been on a search for that flavor that most weed seemed to have in the early 2000s,

Afghani
Northern Lights
skunk
Bubba kush!!!

The 90's?

The Humboldt County Skunk we started getting in the late 70's/early 80's was what cannabis dreams are made of. And the Thai, Hawaiian, Lebanese hash from Lebanon, etc... So many people think all we smoked years ago was crappy Mexican brick weed. Those people obviously weren't smoking weed back then or even born.

If I were asked what would be the most readily identifiable characteristic of weed smell, I think today I would say any of the many forms of Sour, such as Sour Diesel is the strongest smell and most obvious to the most people.

If you asked me 10 years ago I would have said any of the many forms of Chemdawg, or Gorilla Glue as the decade went along.

If you asked me 20 years ago, I would say any of the OG strains will give you the magic.

If you asked 30 years ago it would have been Skunk. Or a real Afghani strain good lord that stuff crushed everyone. White Widow.

In the earliest days, brick weed WAS weed for the most part, except for some exceptional thing someone had from CA, NY or Europe. That brick weed was good, and had a very distinctive weed smell. Probably the most obvious imo, and what until recently would win the prize for "weed" smell.

Note: post written while smelling and experiencing Purple Punch.

Always thought Jack Herer strains/crosses taste like the most amazing weed. Oh sure afghan kush derivatives have old school flavor but none stand out as memorable to me as Jack. Back in the days when kush was king every so often our guy would have “Christmas tree bud” that I now realize was Jack Herer or a cross there of. With the popularity of so many fruity strains out there it’s hard to find that piney flavor I remember so well. May hafta go order a 10pk.....

I crossed this IBL Durban I maintain with a Sensi Seeds Jack Herer. The flavors are excellent.

I'm a Portlander. I know about the weed in the PNW. We got all kinds of stuff back in the day. But my earliest memories of knock you out skunk bud was the Humboldt County weed. But if I think about it I have no idea where half the weed we were getting was coming from. They were growing dank as far north as Alaska. People probably called it Humboldt even if it wasn't because of the hype surrounding it back then.

But as far as the weed goes today. I don't think it's any better. The THC content might be higher but that's about it. Just my opinion though. Weed preferences are subjective.

Honestly, anything "lemony".

Almost everyone is listing what they remember weed smelled like, when they were young or just starting out.

But for me, if I'm out somewhere or at a show or whatever, it's those citrusy/limonene dominant varieties that tend to grab my attention first and make me go "OOOOOOOOOH yeah baby" :D :lol:

That Jack was loaded with seed. Plants grow with tighter node spacing than the IBL Durban. Vigorous growers. Great head tripper. No hermies. Pretty happy with it.

This sounds about as lemony as it will get. Depending on the Durban but being an IBL I'm sure it was a nice heavy Durban..
Maybe the Jack Added some balance to the sometimes overpowering Durban taste. Glad someone has done this..

Durban Jack. * Ah I see the Jack ws seeded so , Jack's Poison. Jack Daniel's? A Sativa Demon friend of mine actually mentioned this exact thing to me the other day when we were talking about Jack H. and a bunch of the variant crossings of that line. It's not available really. Jack the Ripper, Lavender Jack, Cherry Jack..

Hotrod, How's the flavor turn out on her?

Flipping the script, i recently found out that society garlic smells A LOT like offensive GMO/Chem type weed, but more garlicky of course. Kind of a neat "cover" plant to consider, for outdoor growers.

I remember this shopping center that, every once in a while I'd smell SUPER STRONG garlicky dank, what I thought was fresh weed. Turned out to be the landscaping shrubbery that would reek when the landscapers came thru and cleaned them up.

In search of that old school skunky/citrusy piney hash/weed flavor
I’ve recently grown out:

Sensi seeds shiva skunk,
Spliff seeds super skunk
Greenhouse lemon skunk
Pacific M-39
CSi humboldt bubba kush s1

Most of these ended up with a slight hay flavor only slightly reminiscent of the old school flavor EXCEPT the Bubba Kush, which has the dank, piney hashy WEED flavor every time.

GHS lemon skunk was a runner-up.
I’m growing the m39 again to give it another try.
Also trying out hazemans madness- 88 g13/HP x Bubba kush
And Rebel grown Lemon sugar kush
