Breeders syndicate podcast, they were speculating that your best chance at finding something similar to what yall are looking for, would be in Sour D S1's.

And if you're looking through anything Super Skunk or Skunk #1, you're wasting your time.

Since the hint wasn't obvious enough, the Sacred Seed packs posted of Original Skunk #1 seeds from 1980 state something very interesting on them.

"Fresh and germination tested 100% Pureblood Skunk #1 strain, Cannabis Indica Hashish Seeds indigenous to the High-Northern Hindu Kush mountain range. Grown with love in (1980) for the (1981) growing season.

Yeah but skunk#1 is mostly sativa always was because of the acapulco and colombian in it and the afghani in skunk is not a kush the opposite its mazari sharif a huge northern afghan turkestani variety mazar is nothing like hindu kush idc what the packet says lol also sam sold a hindu kush way back so that blurb is to do with that id bet tbh

In my experience, it was almost certainly a Mexican landrace strain that was "the" skunk. Why? Because that's where most of the weed, in general, came from at that time and in my area of the upper midwest plains states. It wasn't the brick weed that lots of people refer to when speaking of Mexican weed. It wasn't necessarily special. It was just good weed from Mexico -as opposed to bad weed from Mexico.
We occasionally would see pounds of Columbian come around maybe a couple times a year and that was it. There were many more times we got Acapulco Gold or Oaxacan in bricks, too.

We just never saw that much SE Asian weed or any kind of exotic weed where I was. However, because of the Vietnam War and the subsequent Peace Corps operations, we did get some crazy good stuff every now and then on a blue moon. But none of it was skunk. It was more of an incense/chai/chocolate/coffee kind of terpene profile.

Look to Mexican landrace strains for the real skunk. It's gotta be there somewhere!

So the history of Mexican herb was that it got seriously muddied by seed brought back from the war in Vietnam. The practice was not one of selective pressure, just open pollination. There was a lot of variation throughout the 70s and 80s then with the onset of award winning bred strains there were also injections of those genetics as they became available. So unless you have a cartel connection there’s likely not much continuity that one can draw across Mexican cannabis for literally generations. My understanding is that there are a couple cultivars from the southern valleys that has some purity amongst the viejos. .02

Week 4 with the 79 Skunk F2 project. Unfortunately, not much skunk coming from the 3 females. More like neutral aromas, but smells hashy. Lots of resin. Also the cultivars seem a little finicky. I top dressed with some sulfur, malted barley, and Build-A-Soil's top dress and I am starting to see some orange/burned leaves on female #3, also burned leaf tips on the other two. I don't give them nutrients besides seaweed and EM-1 and the top dress. The clones are all looking great, so I'm not sure what is going on. Just sensitive, I guess.

The backstory on these didn't check out either after I ran it by Todd McCormick, so I don't know what to think. I do think they're nice plants so I'm going to end up looking through the F1s at some point. These still have probably 5 or 6 weeks left to make sure the seeds are healthy.
