Ah damn, well so much for that thought.

I'm not a Skunk head, but I did a single pack of Sk#1 in the early 90's and it was no more skunky than the NL growing next to it.
I did have some mixed bag seed that a buddy in Ak gave me and there was one female that a friend and I grew outdoors guerrilla on an Indian reservation in Washington state. We named her snow bud, because it was so resinous and looked like a candelabra with the dew and morning sun glistening from her white green buds.
She was a sativa leaning hybrid, and almost finished when the rains forced harvest around october 1.
This one girl led us right to her from at least 100 yards with the most skunk I've encountered in my years of growing.

I enjoy the skunk, but at this point, in my personal opinion, I think the RKS odor was bred out in order to avoid detection or it got raided (and everything in between). Although it could be possible to breed it back into the varietals; I'm sure if someone really had RKS or something that was damn close to that, it would be well known in the community at this point.... Personally, Ive never really had any luck finding a good cheese strain before (in the sense of growing)... I had UK Cheese once and it smelled like feet (good cheese) but had a taste of Cheeto dust, and that's what I am after now. Shame that the dutch lost their seed stock; that would've been a fun one to comb through.

I never tried cheese, but there could be something in there for sure.
I remember when some weed smelled like a tire fire mixed with the smell on the head of a stale bottle of Heineken in the bag and like putting your head into big bubbas sweating armpits when it burned.
There's a huge push to find it. It's like the Golden Ticket.
I expect Kentucky will be the source.
The first breeder that gets it will the king of the hill, for a while at least.

Going to try Northern Light with White Widow again this year, that was really really nice and very strong.

I gave some to a friend a few years ago for his birthday present, he rang me to say he hit a wall...I'm like what do you mean?

He said bro i can't have another bowl, this stuff is amazing so yeah that strain is a winner.

My Nirvana Northern Lights is full skunk and closer than the Kushs' I grew next to it. Hard hitting and good yields. 006.jpg

This.
All this talk of so-and-so and buddys dad had some old seeds etc. etc. IF someone out there really had the real deal we would have it, right here, right now. Also, I don't buy this theory that some old hippy dudes have it but they're guarding it close (because why?) - I call BS and yes I too remember 30 years ago and smelling weed that smelled just like the fabled dead-on-road skunk.
Here's the thing. Lots of strains will have a skunky terp profile, some more than others. So again, with all these claims of (insert name) having it you would think by now someone out there who actually has it would be selling the seeds online for like $100 a bean, what with the demand for it now that there's no longer any fear of getting busted from the smell alone (in certain jurisdictions)
So, crazy paranoid hippy man who has the real skunk, give someone a cut -or ask your price because many would pay big bucks- but it isn't happening.
Another thing that I think is happening as well is a bit of Mandela Effect ... Skunk#1 has become a legend of mythical proportions at this point. "I could smell it from accross the street when buddy was rolling a joint type stuff, I think people are remembering it to be this stuff that it probably wasn't really.

So, I challenge ye all who claim to have it or something similar, dm me and we can make arrangements so I can get a clone. Until that time, it's all wishful thinking.

The reverse psych in your message is intriguing; almost got me. None-the-less the Skunk smell is the same thing to parents as is Santa Claus.

I'd give you any of my seeds but my NL.. A cut always. And I have hippie friends that wear khakis and loafers with a single mom that I will never get a cut off. Because it is real and really rare. Their claim to infamy. Hope you find a strain. They are out there. And my NL is only close to the real deal. But closer than most.

I'm not sure what you mean. I reference the 'Mandela Effect' in the sense that that Mandela Effect happens because people remember something differently from what the reality was. I don't believe that

>the timelines shifted

and reality was actually altered from what actually happened. I honestly think people are remembering Skunk#1 to be this super ultra plug-your-nose-or-you'll-die stinky strain that IT NEVER WAS. Yes, there was a strain of weed 40 - 30 years ago that really smelled like a skunk. I too remember.
But here's the other thing that's happening. Most of us were still quite young back then and fairly uninitiated still - AND - cannabis has come a looooong way since then. Thousands of different new strains, that are stronger, stinkier, etc. etc. Skunk#1 was one of the truly strong early hybrids - true. BUT! Now we have become quite desensitised as a result of all the super-potent strains of the past 20 years, so even if someone were to magically happen upon some long-lost Skunk#1 seeds and they germinated, in other words if you had the real deal in front of you right here right now -
you'd be dissapointed.

Parents use the Skunk - 'smells like a dead skunk' reference to hide the fact of cannabis from their kids. Almost as poorly as some do Santa Clause. Maybe the 'SKUNK' isn't real.

Ehhh, I do believe there was a RKS (or something that smelled like it) at one point simply due to the fact that multiple people remember it who live throughout the US. But as Ive said before and as Blueberryrose brought up, I wonder if the memory is better than the actual? I recently found the grower (through dumb luck) who sold me one of my most memorable strains (Lemon Kush) and he still had the mother from it (I was honestly dumb founded). I got a clone off of him, flowered it out, and was pretty disappointed... The memories were better than the reality it seemed...

RKS is real I do believe. Funny things. I am just saying that maybe the reference was used so much that this point in time everyone is craving it again because the fruity things they miss saying ' dead skunk ' now they say things that dn't make sense like ' THE TERPENE IS LIKE GUSHERS covered in GATORADE and AIRHEADS mixed with COCA COLA.. ' Too many fruity things; feminine things. Someone needs to bring back the gangster things and I think skunk is that thing. It embodies true cannabis. Not the celebrated industry of Chads and Kevins

I'm basing my version of skunk off mid eighties rarely named commercial. I think you are about 2 decades behind this pursuit. Explains the confusion.

Peace.

Oh yeah, RKS and a lot of the "real skunks" were long gone by the time I entered the game so to speak... And yes, 2 decades is accurate.
