My theory is that dank skunk that everyone remembers from 90s/2000s is not Skunk#1, but Afghan/Skunk.
From what I can gather, by the early 90s the Dutch Skunk# 1 from 80s SeedBank days was probably not so hype anymore, and by the mid 90s the hype and strains introduced Lots of them were the Dutch Skunk #1 crossed with some type of Afghan, or some variation of Afghan Skunk, strains like Super Skunk and Northern Lights/skunk, or Afghani # 1/skunk etc. There are SO MANY variations of Afghan/Skunk that were and are still available from the 90s and early 2000s Almost everything in the lineup offered by Sensi, Greenhouse, Dutch Passion, etc So Many of those strains are just a variation of Afghan/skunk.
It seems these Afgan/skunks were UBIQUITOUS everywhere until sometime between 2005 and 2011 when all the growers slowly started dropping these old lines for the new Og Cookies hype and the rest is history lol

I tend to disagree, I bought sensi skunk,in 2000 wasn’t what I hoped for, bought super skunk ,nope,shiva skunk, again no dice. I’ve been growing since the early 90’s, even then the only true skunk I ever had was bought,no seeds in it, I wish there were tho.

I grew up in Chicago, I started growing because most weed was pressed, if I wanted unpressed brick weed the price was higher than I could afford making 6 bucks an hour. I’d save and save to get that good skunk or the Hawaiian in the can. That’s why I started growing,after that most people in town bought from me.

Yea I grew the Shiva Skunk recently and it was a bit bland and of not reminiscent of the skunky weed I remember from early 2000s of course there’s rumors of that and Sensis S.S. changing during the late 90s however I’m convinced that that mid 90s version of Sensis Super Skunk is still out there somewhere maybe in the beans of some Critical from Spain or Nirvanas S.S., if anyone knows of any copycats of Sensis Super Skunk from the 90s?

^^also just to add this is just conjecture and rumors I’ve read for all I know Sensis S.S is the same as it was in the early 90s, I haven’t grown it personally.

Giesel (Chem D x Mass Super Skunk) or S1 Giesel even better.

That cross-breading in the 2000s really killed it. I had some crazy hot genetics that were super loud with almost zero fruit back in the day. Maybe a little pine in there or just a hint of lemongrass but primarily just acrid raw skunky nose-burn. That funk was more prevalent back then. I haven't really smelled it since but I know it does still exist. I smelled some stuff recently that was getting warmer but still not quite what it used to be.

Yeah but there are a few foul phenotypes. Curdled milk, rotten fruit, rotten meat, blue vein cheese, armpit dank, vomit (sweet sickly vomit) and sweaty athlete's foot. All these profiles present in 80s-90s skunk.
I think road kill skunk is the rotten meat phenotype.
Lemon skunk is my all time favourite skunk, so for those saying there were no sweet skunks... I disagree. Ok it's not just sweet fruit notes, a lot of dirty armpit vibe undertone on lemon skunk but I love it. Yes it is a X of two skunk phenos but what was UK cheese but a random skunk pheno?

Yes I fully understand that there are different smell tones that you can get from those sweeter skunk varieties. If you pheno hunt you will find a myriad of foul and odd tones like you mentioned. But what everyone is calling the true RKS had no sweet in it at all. The sulfur component is the main aspect. 3-methyl-2-butene-1-thiol aka Skunk. That is what everyone is hunting for if you can find a magic vintage pheno that is super dominant with this it will reek to high hell. No other foul smells mixed in no cheese or vomit or meat just pure thiol skunk. Thats the purple unicorn that people want. I have personally never smelled it the closet I got was Catpiss strains that had the skunk crossed into it. but the pure Thiol skunk was gone before I was of age.

That 90s Afghaan looks interesting, esp the broad leaf dwarf pheno. grease rotten fruit and coffee terps too apparently.
I wonder if it’s essentially the same as “afghani #1”
From what I’ve read there was only a few desirable Dutch Afghanis at that time.
Here’s a quote from Nevil:
“There weren't many pure indica lines around in those days. Big Bud, Hash Plant and G13 were pure indicas in my estimation, but were cuttings. NL1 was the only good pure Afghani male line I had.( there was Sams Afghani#1, but that was toxic in a bad way)”

The old one I had back in the day was out a freebee pack of sam the skunk man. It was straight burnt rubber and skunk. It was almost too loud and it was easy to smoke too much.
