I've smoked home grown dirt weed better then dispo weed you cannot grow weed on a commercial scale every weed requires diffrent environments diffrent lighting. Dispos cut their shit down when it "looks done" no care in the trichome development no care in the curing process which is absolutely important they push it out as fast as they can. Gotta love when big pharma takes over. Shoulda let the people who've been doing this for yearsssssss take over.

It literally smelled just like a dead skunk.... I think a lot of it was marijuana was still illegal back then, and a lot of the growers didn't want to grow something that stunk up the entire neighborhood....

The problem with plastics is that they are easily electrically charged, and via the power of static cling; rip trichomes off the bud. Glass doesn’t do this. The problem is people actively choose to not feed thier plants right as they are cash cropping. Buy the same cut they have at the store as flower, Grow your own, grow it with lots of microbes in the soil, even w/ synthetic fertilizers, and you will be astounded by how much better you did than the cash cropper with the exact same clone.

Julian Kirby - the problem exist in indoor grows too. And you can control the feeding schedule with precision, so it has nothing to do with the soil. I’ve grown strawberry banana indoors and the whole grow room smelled like bazooka joe strawberry gum! Ahhh memories. But for anyone who grows, they know about the hay smell if you take shortcuts in curing. Most grow-ops do wet trim (trim then dry time for a week or less) versus the old school dry trim (dry first for 2-3 weeks then trim) which already will cut the terpene and smell production. This is one benefit for small growers who aren’t pressed for turnaround time, they can dry trim. Next paper bag and turkey bags leach the moister wayy faster than glass. Someone doing turkey bags after a wet trim, can start selling it in 2-3 weeks. In glass jars it won’t be ready for at least 4 weeks.

You know some select few growers out there still carry those strains in their quiver. They probably don’t have any online profiles or sell to any brokers but just grow and smoke the best of the best in these lost strains. Those people are living the life.

I started smoking weed in the early 2010s (2013) and its nice hearing about older strains.

As I get deeper and deeper into growing I allways come back an rewatch his videos every 6 months . But with new ears .. so much information I missed

Kevin, I'm looking for these as well. thanks for this video.

The fact that growers and breeders where mostly operating illegal in the last couple decades, the main component they focused on was getting high THC levels. This has brought us super potent strains, but unfortunately a lot of other beneficial traits where neglected in that process. Good to see there are still people who don't put high THC levels as the ultimate goal of cannabis breeding!

So I'm a little too young for the late 80s early 90s specifically but I absolutely had to watch this video when I realized so many strains from when I was starting out (late 90s early 2000s) have been disappearing or how these new strains just don't do it for me in the same way. A little different than his point but I still respect it and respect all the work and science he puts into it

:Love these discussions with Kevin he has such a passionate approach to everything cannabis related. So the Pine that some seek you might find in Swamp Boys Seeds Georgia Pine which Ive grown the Tina Danza TK x Georgia Pine everything had a super Pine that was over bearing and people enjoyed it alot. Thats a Pine terp for those Pine Lovers, I prefer the Skunky Pine Earthy.

Back when the thc was in the low and mid teens at most that we knew of. We let rks go in 2003 , 2004 because everybody was sick of it. Couldnt move it. People were wanting more "buzzy" over euphoric effects. And kush was sweeping the blackmarket commercially. Hard hitting weed with no legs was the prefer. Fads come and fads go.

I've been wondering if due to trying to achieve the highest THC % that we have lost those characteristics? I'm good with a 12% thc variety if it has that ol late 80s feel and taste. If plant esters are alcohol based it makes sense why the old greasy flowers had that funk that most varieties fail to have these days? Love you Kevin, thanks for studying and sharing your work.

I'm going nuts with all of these amazing videos. I remember running around town to buy a lid of weed with seeds. That was all there was. Nearly fifty years later, I'm really loving learning about the whole array of cannabis stuff. Like pressing rosin.

I’m relatively young so I didn’t experience any weed until 2020 but I met this old dude who has been growing since the 80s and was able to get some real nice skunky stuff from him. Fruity is great but I do have a sweet spot for stuff on the skunkier and gassier sides of things.

Yes! That sweet deep skunk smell. It was intoxicating and exotic.

Good sour diesel

Skunks are my favorite strains. And I grow them in every operation. Well I have my own operation at my house for myself so I grow for myself all the time LOL I'm definitely going to take some notes during this video and hopefully look for some of these characteristics

This was amazing just gotta sub👌

Here in Humboldt County we still have a super skunk floating around. A lot of old school Growers still have the original strain.

Nothing beats Shoreline for Skunk FunK. I was one of the OG growers in H-town back in the 00's. Like you said many times in the video I was forced to lose my mother plants running from the law all the time. Now I wish I had them back so bad. In Skunk we Trust.

@@edshands6168 HI Ed So the original cut is gone at this point as far as I know. It's been 20+ years afterall. There are however several notable crosses that are at least 50% of the original genetics. They are Texas Chem, Fallen Angel, and although not acknowledged I believe Venom OG by Raredankness Seeds is a Shoreline offshoot. That should get you close I would try Fallen angel first, seeds are cheap and it looks from the picks closest to what I remember the OG cut looking like. Good Luck in your quest from a fellow Texan living in exile. You will know it when you smell it trust me.

Man!! I'm old enough and lucky enough to have had some of this skunk bud back in the late 80s!!! Funny Thang happened like 5 years ago in Denver at Starbuds store. They had some Bud called Super Skunk, and it's smelled nothing like Skunk from late 80s, but they still had amazing bud though 😉🌿🌿🌿🌿☘🍀😆

I love this guy thanks to berners doc i havent got off his videos this man is a mine of diamonds flawless only. Hes talking about all the old strains i use to smoke i want that super sour diesel back and sulver haze

Heavy Duty Fruity by TH Seeds is the last thing I found that had a skunky pheno and I'm trying to find it again! That was 6 years ago.

I have it... But lost true heavy duty fruity when i crossed it with a super dank ogchem male in about 2010... Called it ogchemfruit for many years until another fuck up where was crossed with GDP X m1 resulting in purple skunky phenos with huge buds and a kushback ground.. As of recent have continued abackcross. The one pheno you are talking about is strong in the genetics and amd3 easily distinguishable in any line up.

Appreciate your grounded perspective on all this. Ego and greed have driven herb cultivation in the wrong direction. W. Mass super skunk is an amazing all-around strain.

Great content

I was the fortunate/unfortunate possessor of a strain - much praised today - from the point of view of an inhabitant of the city that provided its name: Durban! This was way back in 1969, and I had a ‘pencil’ of the stuff which I later learned was the signature wrapping style: cheap brown paper rather like that we used to cover our school books with. Even wrapped you could smell it, but when exposed to air the dankness hit you in the face. Thick, highly evocative impression - Big Bad Druggy stuff indeed. It wasn’t called ‘Poison’ for nothing! Anyway, it sent the ‘newbie’ me to another universe which put me off for the next 25 years (PS I’m back!)

This guy is amazing. I know the type of fellow. I'm paraphrasing from about 11:27 "l had a few minutes to hang out at Christmas break so l relaxed by delving hardcore into PDF files on molecular biochemistry." The kinda guy whose brain is constantly stirring the pot. Thanks for doing all that hard work Sir Kevin so that l can spend my life fucking around instead.

Thanks as always Shango! How I miss the 80's skunk.

It might perhaps be a matter of pot tolerance but I seem to remember back when l started in the early 90's that l used to feel a pressure between the eyes that l'd get from really good uplifting smoke. It felt like someone was pressing the tip of their finger hard against the bridge of my nose. If l felt that l knew I would have to hang on for the next few hours. And then go into my magical, scary spiritual place, which was the convenience store.

Great videos Shango! Please work on equalising your volume levels. It will increase the quality of your content. Switching between other videos your's are often kind of quiet. It creates a subconscious judgment that the louder video is better. Keep chasin fire mate! Great content!!

I did not record this video. Kev did. But I get your point. =)

Maybe the demand for higher THC has diminished some flavors in certain strains I don't know just saying.

I recently grew out a very nice pheno of "L.S.D." by Barney Farms, and it smells extremely like burnt rubber and intense skunk. However, once off the vine and dried/cured, the smell morphs into something all together. A sweet earthy flavor.

I had the opposite issue last summer. Grew a Washington Skunk from PNW Roots that was floral on the plant and then cured to be very rubbery. In fact, the ice hash we made from it tasted like serious burnt rubber. It was off-putting for a lot of folks. They kept talking about "residual solvents" but they were grown organically and the only solvent was water. So rare and kind of weird.

Awesome thank you🙏🏻

we had the 87 skunk in vancouver,bc. Everyone started getting raided from the reeek but a few of us kept it going.Burnaby cut pk is still around in garages as well. Sam the skunkman had a cut going but it wasnt the same as the 80s cut. we kept it and use it to mix into dbs and tom fords for the legacy market only. 4%terp profiles are not uncommon with the gas strains here but the 87 skunk is a migrane waiting to happen, charcoal filter proof lol
