My r2skunk I got from northern N.B. Calling it English and French is Useless R2skunk is not really a skunk it’s just a skanky pheno of the r I also possess early R2 , R2R2, and the real Are Deux that stays small and finishes late .....
You'd know if you smoked R2. It's probably one of the strongest I've smoked. I'd put it against any elite cut. The high comes on strong and has legs. It's smell transitions through flowering. I'm not the best at describing smells. If you let it finish properly the smell is skunky citrus fuel like you wouldn't believe.I have never had R2 unless I had it by a different name. Does it smell like pine by any chance?
I can say IMHO M39 is commercial garbage. Now Freezeland on the other hand was one of the best outdoor strains I have ever run. It also did great indoors.
There use to be a breeder out of the Annapolis Valley roughly 15 years ago who was doing some really great things with some lesser known gear. Had strains called White rabbit, Northern Rabbit, Armageddon, and a buncha others I cant remember.The best cross I ever grew outdoors Sweet tooth x Champagne . It was also from him. I sold that strain for top dollar as indoor each fall.
All his strains were in glass vials with pink tops and had the strain written on a white label wrapped around it.
Cheers
Yea man R2 has mega piney smell. M39 IS lower tier rubbish even grown out its best (good call). And yes Friesland is a boss outdoor strain that kills it without issue.I have never had R2 unless I had it by a different name. Does it smell like pine by any chance?

Ok then yes I have absolutely enjoyed tons of R2 . We called it piney bud and it was always strong af and the more you smoked the higher you got. It was one of the best I remember for not building a tolerance to. It was always around for years in the Halifax area. Back when 2 for $25 was a good deal lol
Interesting....But i just used the words english and french to differ between the 2 different "kinds" of R2 i have this year... The 2 are planted in the same soil side by side and the one from the english dude in sackville that he himself called R2skunk is over a week further into bloom but is LESS skanky smelling than the other one i got from my french acadian friend in cap pele. Also i'm starting to see mold on the R2skunk and none on the true R2. Some serious bore worm holes on the R2 skunk, but none on the R2 from mon frere. So perhaps "pheno" is the incorrect word to use when comparing an R2 x Skunk hybrid to it's own mother?
I got my first cutting in like 2005, i was actually told not to share it with anyone. It was in fact a little short, and finished in mid october. I have lived in halifax for 13 years and i lost that cut in a move a few years back. I just returned to the area and i just started looking for it again.
Interestingly enough of all the “R2” I’ve cultivated over the years the R2 skunk I got from a guy in SACKVILLE as well did the best over all sadly I lost it .my god the hash from that plant was incomparable and had the best return. It’s funny you say that the r2r2 is the mother. I was told the r2r2 got its name from crossing a reverted r2skunk Whith it’s clone ! Just putting that out there!
haha...cool, I bet a lot of us in here know each other or have buddies in common. yea it's interesting like, how over the last like 17 years or so i have heard so much about this from so many different people. All ya can do is look for similar things that reliable people keep saying. There is NOT very much information online about it, this thread seems to be rather zeroed in over all.
I have no idea how long the cross has been around, but i know 2 completely different things here in sackville that are being called R2xSkunk. They're both really really sick and quite different from each other.
I have a friend who has a connection to the real deal R2. It's funny how we all describe her smell so different. I don't get the pine. Maybe what I call fuel. I know it clings to your close when trimming.
I would call the smell something like a hashy piney lime B.O.
I don't know where ypu guys got your m-39 from, but you must have gotten a different strain someone was calling m-39.
