Skunk, rks, just like every other legendary strain, was breed to everything that anyone was already growing. Therefore, it would be inconceivable to think that any modern versions of it would be of a single pheno.
East coast, west coast, southern and northern hemispheres all had different versions of the skunks strains.
The tons of conflicting testimony about the different tastes, effects, and plant structure reiterate the fact that there was more than one version of skunk. Therefore the debate about rather skunk is sweet or not, doesn’t conform to cannabis logic.
Many are over looking the obvious as they ask, what crosses make up the skunk heritage. the fact that the genetics stems from a cross multiple crosses, reconfirm the notion that there were many different phenos of skunks. One of which being the roadkill pheno. Rks as it is now called.
The problem is now one truely knows where it came from or how to reproduce it. I understand, not knowing where it comes from part because most cannabis was heavily seeded back then. However i find it an inconceivable notion that someone is trying to reproduce a cross with a cross. It hasn’t happened yet. If it was possible, there wouldn’t be any need for cloning.
Quite often, I see the term “muddied genetics” tossed around in hateful fashion. However as soon as someone gets their hands on a good variety of cannabis, the immediate response is to breed it with their favorite cross, or to cross it to the present money maker.
When someone asked, why do everyone breeds to cookies, the obvious answer is, because cookies is the current money maker.
And just like cookies and all the great strains before it, the rks was bred to any and every thing imaginable. Hence the reason why we have so many version of our beloved skunk. most of which no longer exhibit the traditional rks phenotype that everyone loved.
So what happened? Where did the rks disappear to. The short answer is that it became muddied just like everything before and after it.
For example, the “be-muddledment” of cookies that’s has been going on for the last decade or so. It’s the same thing that happened to the rks.
Besides that, rks was often criticized for being “prison weed” meaning that it attracted all types of unwarranted attention that often granted the grower some time behind bars.
Something had to be done because the Feds were for real about their war on drugs. Therefore growing plants as loud as rks meant grows were an easy find. Unfortunately it wasn’t always by a hiker who found the grows, therefore a prison sentence often ensued. Remember marijuana hasn’t always been “legal”.
Therefore something had to be done in order to stay in business. The most obvious thing was to breed plants that wasn’t as easy to find. A reduction in smell was obviously the first thing to do.
It wasn’t long before the rks variety had all but disappeared as it was now breed to less stinky version of cannabis. The obvious culprit was the readily available hemp plant know for no taste or smell. Which would also explain why modern marijuana lost had lost most of its potency and psychedelic capabilities.
Once the hemp was introduced into the marijuana genetics, there was no turning back.
Unfortunately, all happened before most of us were born, which is the reason why hardly anyone remembers what actually happened to the bud. Still do this day, there are version of cannabis that hardly exhibit any smells. Not only do these plants not produce a smell while growing, they also do not produce much of a smell when burning. If you recall, not long ago, there was a push to create odorless cannabis. Sensible weed as an old school friend call it.
However in a free cannabis market, the need for an odorless cannabis strain is unnecessary. Also it doesn’t sell well due to its diminished effects.
Hence the dire need for the reemergence of the rks variety of cannabis.
Unfortunately, the powers to be, didn’t for see cannabis legalization as the rks was ousted from the gene pool. Also rather obvious, that modern geneticists didn’t understand the capabilities of the industrial hemp plant, which means, there is no turning back.
Hopefully one day a strain will be created that would reinvigorate the smell and effects of modern cannabis. There are those who firmly believe that Rks is the strain for the job since it has already proven itself as a producer of multiple champion cannabis creations.
The significance of a new rks variety means that all of cannabis will once again change.
The leaders of the change are those who make the biggest profits as all others rush to jump on board.
Let’s be real. We all know there was no shortage of seeded cannabis back then. Sinsemilla marijuana a luxury in most areas that not many my age got to enjoy Meaning those who had it, smoked a lot better than those who didn’t. Therefore making for a different opinion of what skunk actually was.
Im sure the people show smoked the seeded varieties, are the ones who speak of bud that lacked any taste. I wouldn’t think that seeded low thc bud wouldn’t produce much of a taste, or smell. However the experience of those who were smoking the sinsemilla was quite different as it should have produced the beautifully sweet Afghan crossed smoke.
The possibilities are unlimited as to what anyone was smoking back then. That’s because if the smoke was good, they kept the seeds and made future generations of plants. These plants traveled north, south, east and west. Just like we adopted genetics from foreign countries, in some cases, the skunk genetics made its way overseas. Because that is what good smoke do. It travels because everyone wants it.
So are all of these people lying about their version of skunk? I don’t think so.
The sweet, potency, racy, indi -dominant debates are unwarranted because there are tons of different skunk versions are out there.
To think that any modern skunk would exist in a mono-terpene form is ludicrous. Especially when knowing that it is the product of a cross.
Landraces breedings repeatedly prove that once a cross is made, there is no going back to the original terpenes profile. That’s just not how cannabis operates. Or as I say, “ it is the nature of the beast.
This is something that we all know about cannabis. So why would someone even suggest that skunk, or rks, would be of a single tasteless terpenes. There are too many post about muddied cannabis genetics that would suggest otherwise.
If you want your rks tasteless or dirty, make it so. If you want it racy and without potency, that’s fines too. Because individual expression is that’s what cannabis is about.
Critics, unlike rks, are a dime a dozen. Someone is always going to be bitching and complaining about something, especially when “they” don’t have it, or if “they” think your offering may be better than theirs. That’s just how it works in our society.
Anyway, It’s your bud, do what you want to with it. There are way too many options available to bickering about what cannabis once was. As I say, and a few more brothers here and there say, it’s all about which jar empties first. Rks or not,
