all i know is that if masterkush skunk was used instead of afghani after the illegal paraquat eradications of "fuck your fascist military industrial complex i'm just chillin'!" los cucarachas to keep everyone blazing indoors, the weed market would be no more indica than 50% with stuff like jack herer being even more common than skunk #1 actually is now.
at least there's still fresh genes out there to be tapped with an almost infinite (don't know no fancy word for "really a fucking lot!") variety of superior genes worked up from those 1988 "really? you call that skunk #1 shit as good as columbian gold sven?" original building blocks.
even though C99 isn't a favorite smoke, i now know for sure it's an awesome strain that doesn't fuck shit up with "bag appeal" and that has to speed slow stuff up in flowering at least a little. it's a great breeder that'll help the next generation of breeders do way better than skunk #1 which ain't trippy at all and that's more of a mid than 75% any day.
