I just smoked some deathstar that burned my fucking nose. Shit was so potent. I haven smelled “skunk farts” ina long time. That my friend. Was pre 98 skunk funk. I asked who grew it. I got nothing.
I just grabbed a pack of Katsu's Imperial Fuel (Deathstar x Sour Diesel IBL) I bet is going to bring a special type of funk. While not that RKS of the past, I'm still excited.

Not long ago on seedbay there were some old Skunk open pollination seeds available by Sam Skunkman of Cultivators Choice…
I aint heard many say they found anything rks catpiss type n other older skunk1 phenos yes and theres also the odd herm as its less stable vs skunk#1 from later batches and horrible germination rates to contend with cos its old seeds they selling if its the ancestral skunk your referring to?

Thats how to identify the deathstar cut, the smoke smells like skunk and not just to smokers, people who dont smoke think there's a skunk around. When it first showed up I was'nt impressed with the buzz tho.

I was fucking impressed. That smell was lonesome over EVERYTHING else. Dead ass burned my nose from that cold clean menthol undertone With that funky skunk ass from the jar. Taste exactly as it smelled. And as far as the buzz. It was a pleasure. It wasn like the ogs I typically smoke tho. More pine and menthol influenced. And heavy head high. In the eyes. I’d give a train wreck/sour diesel type high. Clean. Tolerable

And what are they then genetics wise if you know?
Sounds just like its the early gen of skunk 1 rather than the parents for that it need to be Acapulco gold x mazari and you would still need pure columbian gold to recreate it or vice versa columbian x mazari and pure acapulco
Are you sure about that story. Because from what skunkman was saying when first ariving in holland was that the very early version of skunk#1 or ancestral skunk actualy made its self from accidental pollination of the two parents. The 1978 skunk should be the ancestral skunk.

"It was Jeff Nordahl of Jade Nectar who named the seeds Grandpappy Skunk. Jeff squinted in the noon sun on the mountain top at his Boulder Creek farm, grinned and said, “Those seeds you gave me that Wayne froze in 1978, they are the grandfathers and grandmothers of the first Skunk.”

Within 24 hours of my article “Skunk City” hitting the cannabis dispensary shelves in December’s Cannabis Chronicle, I started getting emails from people who wanted to grow out these seeds that had helped to change the world of cannabis in the late 1970s—and that I wrote about discovering and cultivating after they’d been in a deep freeze for more than 40 years. Even the seed’s breeder, Sam the Skunkman, emailed me from the Netherlands. And yes, it appears that they are the grandparents of the world-famous strain Skunk No.1 that Sam developed in the ’80s."

Its screwed up the strains that supposed to be this that and the other (fuel) ect . Its weird because all these different mixes and I never hardly taste anything that was tasty in the 80s its mimnd boggling ? What fffkkkkkkkkkkkk lolollll OK I'll behave :) uhgggg haha
 
I might actually have, I was thinking about how much I missed it, hell even just getting seeds. I was kicking myself all those years I thought it would always be that way.

I remember this velvety red haired sunky weed I hope skunk no1 (seedsman) is close.

It's a wait and see but I found some really old bud I had apparently saved and successfully hidden.

It was disgusting smelly but it had seeds and they didn't have a dry crunch.

I looked at how they were much larger than seedbank seeds, and I thought maybe.

Out of them about 3/4 poped up.

Is it vintage skunk? I hope so, will it be as good no it's from the early to mid 2010s but I was still getting it up till about five years or so ago.

When $100 would buy a fat oz, I could take a quarter for brownies a quarter to smoke.

Ah the good ole days.

Brownies just aren't the same without it to me, and mine were terrible that I miss.

A box of dollar general brand brownie mix, and dump that ground up quarter right on in, and I'd bake my seeds for an added crunch.

Awful, didn't know what I was doing edibles.

That kicked my ass.

I went and saw the cat in the hat on those and I remember the previews credits roll did I fall asleep? No why

Are referring to this lame ass Jeff Nordahl? Started appreciation of weed only 12yrs ago. And you think hes a fuckin expert or someone whose opinion really matters? Hes just another recreational capitalistScreenshot_20220619-162912.png

Intresting that. There are some pictures online of early usa version of skunk from sam from roughly around the same time your saying, grown out by mad jagg. I think they were sold to him as skunk#1 or original skunk. I wonder if they look similar to what you guys have. Can you put up some pictures by any chance an il find some of the mad jag ones.

Edit, i had a look at the two plants on that grandpapy skunk thumbnail an those plants do look quite diffrent to mad jags an the plants coming out of ancestral skunk. The ones in the thumbnail look more closer to what bsv is putting out from his mixed up ot1's stuff. But its difficult to say for definate from two plants if they seem to be related. But ancestral skunk an some of the ones mad jag grew out are putting out almost landrace sativa types.
