I've run a few different skunk based genetics looking for something similar to the Trinity we used to get in the late 90's in Eugene that had a truly loud skunk profile that could be smelled from down the block and made your eyes water it was so strong. Here are my notes on what I have run below.

Round 1
Authentic Genetics - RKS F2 - Heime Cheba x Todd McCormick (early 80’s Afghan) = There was some very faint skunk hidden in there but not loud, and after the cure it was barely detectable. The high is extremely drowsey. One pheno kicked out monster colas that were covered in resin but ended up culling it and not keeping any.

Hippy Humboldt - Trump Skunk ('81-82 Fort bragg old cal indica (from Jim Ortega?) x RKS from Heime) = This one was a bit more on the bitter side, again, no real skunk that I was able to find. More of a minty, piney, acrid, fire ant sort of smell. And not super loud.

Blue Skies Vienna - BOSS - via OldTimer1 (Pre-skunkman skunk, crossed to the most skunk male) Although Oldtimer1 never claims to have worked with a pure skunk line and calls BSV out as a delusional twat = Nothing skunky, herm prone, fermented fruit.

The Nature Farm - Uncle Festers SkunkBud = Faint piney, fuel/gas, quite mild, not super resinous.

Bodhi - Skunk Hashplant SP33 = Not skunk at all, the hash plant dominated in all respects. Super frosty and spiced incense hash smells. I keep one pheno based on the string high and beastly structure that was covered in trichs.

Duke Diamond - Dominion Skunk - (SkunkVA Chemdog/SSSC Skunk 1 x Skelly Hashplant/SSSC Skunk 1) = The winner from this round. One pheno was spot on skunk, while not as loud as the Trinity I remember this one has the right profile.


I am running the second round skunk hunt as we speak and they are 19 days into flower. Note below on stem rubs alone.

Round 2
Kaygu/coastal seed co x Bodhi/Plantmoreseeds - American Skunk Selection Colombian = stringent funk, slight sweet skunkiness, gas

JJNY TopDawg Genetics - Super Skunk #18 = piney, pungent complex, veggies, mens cologne, spicey

Golden Coast Genetics - Garlic Skunk = very savory, sharp stringent, super pungent, gas, greasy, skunky

Indian landrace/full power selections - Kandahar Arghandab farm #1 = dumpster, pastrami sandwich, mild skunk, chocolatey skunk

Indian landrace/full power selections - Kandahar Arghandab farm #2 Black selection = acrid, very stringent, like piss ants, super bitter, skunky, tennis ball, new shoe, cheese puff funk

Indian landrace/full power selections - Maruf Arghandab Green = sweet dirt smell, hashy sweetness back wtih a meaty front, gasoline, stringent


Next up will be running the Trinity crosses, chem dog D and 91 S1's from CSI, some of StrayFoxes work and more.
I ran the fake Trinity clone that has been floating around since 2004 and while it's an amazing plant, it's definitely not skunky and therefore NOT Trinity.

I am looking for anyone with some original ASS (American Skunk Selection) from Bodhi or ASS crosses and or Duke's work if anyone wants to trade.
I got some duke gear

I have been looking for RKS for quite awhile too, grew it late 70s to early 90s when my boys were being attacked at school by war on drugs nonsense cops were bringing parapiniela and plant photos in asking kids if they ever seen any of these things at home! Anyway I put away a large bottle of seeds for the future years and a marriage later during a pre-wedding cleaning my future mother in law tossed them out I had no idea for many months I couldn't be mad and thought I'll just have to buy some more WRONG.....

I'm of the belief it must be recreated from old landraces. You know those original guys had some Afghan/Khyber pass paky there. I think that's one we can all agree on. Now the rest of the make up is up for grabs but I'm thinking some central american/south American in there and probably an Asian Thai, Burmese, Laos, Vietnamese variety.
Only thinking about travels by plane and bringing seeds back in the 70's-80's which is when it would've been crossed/worked with.
Thing about a scent is it can take you back to a place in time you forgot about. Like your own personal time machine.

I've actually read that article and enjoyed it too :) Taliban needs to get their shit together and open a board of tourism cause I'm guessing those flights would be cheap enough to be possible for me LOL. I can see it now.......

"Sir..... A lighter and 14 bags doesn't seem very normal did you not pack anything else?" :)

"Well I have a GPS so I can lock on to exactly where I am with these empty bags..."

So I've been giving this some thought.
I've got 2 separate true breeding lines of Skunk #1.
I've also got maybe 20 different Afghan lines.
We all know the real skunk terps came from the Afganni's so,,,I was thinkin in my little brain, maybe I should be back crossing all these back to the Skunk #1 lines I have. ?
Thoughts?

I like it. The only issue I see is how much space do you have? You're going to need alot to run each Afghani you have right out and select that funkiest pheno. Then back x across the skunk 1. 20 different Afghani lines different 0henos selected pollen from boys and then bx

If I was rich, Id bury several shipping containers and lock you in there until you came out with some RKS! :LOL:

Take this with a grain of salt because it was many moons ago lol. Around 94-95 I got some smoke from the local guy. Took it home rolled a j and me and two buddies smoked half of it and put it out. My friend put it in a cigarette pack up in my window seal of my bedroom. We went outside for a couple hours and got back to my door and thought a skunk sprayed my house again lol. We couldn't find a skunk around so went in to finish the joint and opened the pack and BAM, it was it. The roach alone stunk up the whole yard in the apartment complex lol.

So I went back to get more and asked the guy what it was. He told me that it was black Afghani. You could literally throw a bud against the wall and it would stick and leave a resin spot on it. Good memories and way better smoke than today's.

I think your on to it in those Afghani beans @Skunky Dunk Farms Good luck and keep on keeping on.

For whatever my opinion is worth; YES! I can't recommend this enough!

Also, just saying; Cheese is a Phenotype of Skunk #1, and that with Afghan and other Skunk beans..... yeah I'm with you bro!

I can't recall any of the Skunk that far into the 90's, most of our access in Cali was 80's.
Oh yea, the high was something different than today's choices.

Yeah, it was the only time I can remember that I had anything that had that smell. Before that the old timers around here grew what we called Stilwell Steerpod. It was more rancid with skunky tones to it. It had extra extra long colas the size of your arm and looked like bull horns from a Texas longhorn hence the name. I've been looking for those beans as well.
