Skunk scent is a unique smell, there is no way to really describe it. So I'm sorry if we're coming off as snobs but we can't put it into words. It's truly something you have to smell because there isn't anything in the world besides certain cannabis strains that smell the same.

I don't buy the low potency line either as three people have described phenos of widow strains that carry this smell. Not all of us have security issues to worry about growing a smelly strain (some of us do grow legally) and as its been shown a lot of us truly enjoyed the smell.

Lets be fair, I said mids :) I didn't say lows :)

Had an apartment back in the day and you could smell that shit on floors above and below me just smoking it. I couldn't begin to imagine what a room full like you guys run in those legal parts would smell like. It would probably truly smell like the animal died in there.

I trimmed up a grapfruit x og strain that made me want to barf and gave me a massive headache, I couldn't imagine trimming a bunch of skunk, you'd have to pay very well.

Come on man, I know you're smarter than this. You think because seeds were illegal here, we didn't have them? With the amount of weed that came here from around the world (and not from the dutch)? Lol. Where do you think the dutch got most of their genetics from in the 80's? From us. Northern Lights, Skunk, Blueberry just to name a couple. And what did they do? Recycled the shit out of those genes into a boring pile of poo.

Cheese? You mean skunk? That was created in the US, and became watered down and fruity by sam and the dutch over the years? The same dutch that mixed cannabis with tobacco because it's too strong, and bred for stability, not funk, or potency? Uk folk can admit cheese came from sensi, but can't admit that cheese is early reworked skunk that came from US genetics.

You know why you like cheese? Because it's funky and potent. You guys got skunk from sensi before the dutch completely bred the rest of the funk out. Skunk was even funkier before it went overseas. Don't be mad at us. Be mad at your own countrymen for not coming up with the amount of originals that we did and still are. Be glad we had access to all the genetics we did thanks to the booming black market weed trade here. Also, point me to a couple of dutch strains that are good enough to be the parents of OG or the chems and that share their characteristics.

i know this is hard for you to take, the dutch took your clones made seeds for the world

you can keep telling yourself you are the "originators of the clones" and that the "dutch water down the genes"
to make yourselves feel better about missed opportunities , it was not legal for the US to spreed these seeds round the world
so the dutch and Canadians did this

if you honestly think that the amount of plants grown from US imported land race and US created strains
in the 1980s is greater than the amount of plants grown in the rest of the world from dutch seed banks in the 1990s
you truly are a imbecile
the best plants are most likely to come from the greatest available selection
or diversity hence they came from seed stock in the 90s.
do you not think that folk keep and select plants allover Europe and the rest of the world ?

where do Americans get most of their seeds from now ?
have you seen the amount of threads here with folk crying about seeds from attitude being taken by us customs ?
Americans not knowing which seed bank to buy from next etc etc

most of the seedbanks are in Europe , its a shame the dutch took your clones and gave the offspring to the world
one day you folk will get over it and stop hating on dutch seed banks
i have grown seeds from many american breeders they are nothing special

peace

Ignorance...

It would be nice if they offspring they were sending all over the world actually resembled the clones they received...

Do you think American's quit growing/breeding cannabis when they sent clones to Europe?

Canadian breeder's also got the same clones + IMO did a better job with them.

Fair enough and I'll admit it is probably a lot of nostalgia fueling our desire for this plant. It would be an experience trimming it, I have a cut of stinky cheese that can get to you when trimming it up (no it doesn't literally smell like cheese but its a very funky smell) the skunk we're talking about was even funkier so I can't imagine trimming it lol

I'd just like to find a pheno with that smell and breed for it, we can always make it more potent! The taste was great too as I remember it.

My brother and I were talking about this, we remember getting way smellier bud back in the 90s maybe the strains were bred to not smell so pungent due to security, maybe it's just nostalgia, maybe we're just dumb American pot snobs, I don't own a passport after all...:lol:

That and in your pocket in a little baggie the weed is constantly being worked around, releasing smells. Same way that a bud might smell, but then when it break it up, grind it, mutilate it, it really starts to STINK in comparison.

But i see, unless you're from the US of A then you can't possibly know what skunk is. Never heard that kind of spiel before...

So, what you're saying is that Americans are better at identifying weed smells because they have their noses up in the air? :-)

i am happy to grow strains from any breeders from any part of the world
i do not put american breeders on a pedestal nor do i hate dutch breeders
so i am free to pick and choose ,
if you were to ditch some of your american nationalistic weed pride which is delusional
you would be as free as i am to find some wonderful phenos from various breeders regardless of nationality

peace

Man can we stop the american vs dutch bullshit. Great strains come from all over the world and there isn't any specific country that is better at growing or breeding, it's about the person growing it.

Man I don't even really like my country so there isn't any american pride going on with me.

I think it's just a big misunderstanding from miswording of points of view that turned into something it's not.

I don't think anyone meant you can't smoke the strain Skunk in the UK, or anywhere else in the world. You guys just need to understand this creature is in a league of it's own when you talk about smell.

Here's the deal, next time I see a nice fresh dead one I'll roll a tshirt around in it and mail it to you :) That way you get to know if you smoked the real deal or not lol

I'll grow genetics from any part of the world!

The skunk we are talking about came from the US, as hard as it is for you to believe.
Cheese may be a close relative, I've never smoked it(so I wouldn't know)

Sorry you don't understand or weren't around to have witnessed and experienced the subject we on, and I'm sorry you're so hurt and jealous that you have to resort to calling me an imbecile. I'm far from stupid. No one said the amount of plants grown in the US was greater than the rest of the planet in the 80's. You're just trying to desperately get a one up.

The people here weren't breeding for stability and yield. Our goals were way different than the dutch. We bred for potency, flavor, and smell. Because we liked potent tasty weed, dealt with clones and weren't focused on selling seeds. That's why some of our strains might be herm prone and not stable from seed, but they're better tasting and more potent than what the dutch were putting out. Even now the world wants and talks about American strains, and even go as far as to fake like they're from here (humboldt seed org).

No one was hating on dutch seed banks. It's you wankers hating on Americans. Because you're in the skunk thread talking about original skunk weed that you've never had, and mad that you've never had it. So you turn the tables to an argument about the dutch. Too bad you've never smelled a skunk or had original skunk weed in the 80's and 90's, and have no idea what us Americans are talking about.

lol everyone in the whole wide world is jealous of american weed that grew in the 1980s
is this really your position ?
if so it is a very weak position to adopt

i stand by my earlier statement you are a imbecile not because you are american but because you are you

"our goals were different" so you speak for all american breeders ?
which one of the famous breeders are you ?

the dutch took your silly jungle haze and created practical haze hybrids with it
using your indica too

Americans bought these seeds in droves and still grow dutch hybrids today

what is it you want credit for ?
it seems to me that you feel that america has not received the praise that is justified ?

the keepers that are kept around the world mostly come from 1990s dutch seed stock
or stock released after this date, i am not saying Americans did not contribute in the 80s
but i feel you are overplaying your role here,
you americans had a good idea done some of the early ground work
but then again so did the folk selecting in fields where land races originated that built your orignal clones perhaps it should be Afghanistan that we are thanking not america
the dutch put it into practice for you that kind of hurts i understand
you will get over it in time

peace

The American skunk the OP is referring to did smell like skunk.

It wasn't called Skunk #1...

its common sense, if you can't see that you're an imbecile imo
seeds are not legal in the USA you know this right ?

it was not until the 1990s that seeds became available to the growers of the world
not just a few ghetto OG hipsters from LA running nl5
we are talking many thousands of growers all round the world growing dutch/canadian created hybrids from american clones
this creates a huge gene pool for the people of the world to select keepers from
this is why many keepers originate from 1990s

in the uk folk can admit that cheese is just a selection of old sensi seed stock

Americans in the spirit of a Hollywood blockbuster have to create dramas/legends about grateful dead concerts to explain the linage of the most prized possession OG KUSH

i do not know what you guys have against the dutch, you would rather believe og kush is from some land race than dutch strains lol

If it was in Mexico canida or any were on the planet it still be called skunk because it smells like the animal it didn't have to come from the state were ever it came from it stinks and most pot head that r young trip out when they smell it they been use to the skunk #1 and not the old school strain I been around mexi block brick weed I remember another skunk I us to smoke on I seen it in Cali and in Kansas it was called RED HAIRED SKUNK BUD?? What ever happend to that??about 20+ years ago

you believe what all the other hipster (cali has the best weed in the world) Americans believe , i would not attempt to change your mind
the rest of the world will continue to grow hybrids created from various genetics some can be traced to america some not
i am happy to leave you with your insular minded ignorance and nationalist american pride
i hope the seeds you ordered from Europe arrive safely

I think good weed comes from all over the US, not just Ca. And I haven't ordered seeds in a very long time either. So what if I did order seeds that shipped from Europe? Europeans didn't make them. You think all seeds at a seedbank were bred in Europe? Lol. I only buy from American breeders anymore, with Karma being an exception. I've grown out enough dutch breeds to know how bland and recycled most of their strains are anymore.
