Selectively Breeding since 1981. I have The real Skunk in My lines too. We need to have an International Seed Swap Meet Kevin. Thanks for all that Ya'll do. Respect
These men are are my heros. They hold and preserve some of the greatest genetics on the planet. It's always been a dream of mine to receive, hold and preserve a Chem Dog 91' Skunk VA Cut. I still believe that cut is the greatest cut in America.
Yu wudnt happen to have any seeds from the 80's early 90's wud yu? My earliest seeds are from the purp era about 04-05 to about 2011 I collected seeds.
As a first time grower, getting ready for harvest, this is just a really beautiful thing to see all the honest passion and history behind the true magic here. Breeders keeping this passion alive.
I would love to revive the original old-school Skunk from the 80s through the mid 90s that I remember...That terpine profile is gone. Skunk doesn't smell near as dank today compared to what I remember. The Terpine Profile REEKED like a skunk that had been hit on the highway mixed with an odor of burned rubber....SO LOUD I haven't came across any new strain today that smells anywhere near as STRONG as the old Skunk was.
its gone. I lived in Santa Cruz in the times you are talking about and that smell was everywhere. It lasted for 2-3 years and slowly all got popped. I remember CBS news doing a report on the new "Skunk type of weed that was 10 times stronger than what you tried in the 60s". Same time everyone moved indoor and Dutch seeds started muddying up the genetics. The strains right before Skunk showed up were Acapulco Gold, Columbian gold, Thai, and the new Humboldt green buds that smelled like pine trees and looked like golf balls. My guess is it was somewhere in there.
@@stonersteve6325 What a shame...The last bag I got my hands on was around 94...I paid 60.00 for a quarter ounce which was an INSANE price at the time.
I really miss the old school Hawaiian . the taste ,the buzz was very long lasting, it mad your eyes very red, I have been in Hawaii for the last year searching and still searching.!
A tiny island called Peleliu in the island nation of Palau, had some of the older south East Asian lines back when I visited in 2013-14. Psychedelic, euphoric high. The only time I’ve ever felt anything like that. Kevin should try to check that place out
I've got 2 bagseed collections from old heads, one from a family member and one from a friend's dad, both are seeds from favourite bags scored over the years, hardly popped any but all different and very unique. Can wait to properly and slowly hunt through them all 🤩
ITs guys like you that will ensure our genetics are not lost if only I could access your vault Kevin id be more than willing to keep anything you need true and going for you this is an amazing video and so inspiring this is what i want to dedicate my life to
"looking for that Cambodian that used to take the top of your head off, make almost you pee your pants, have to sit on the toilet to smoke it. Where's that?" BWahahahahha!! This is the best shit!! @ Kevin Jodrey. Yeah, where did all this type of shit go? let's bring it back(guess we got to find it first). I know I'm late for the party, but wanted to say thanks for the great content here. Thanks panel!
I'm from TX, and every time I visit a legal state I scour the shops for something that's not going to be there. Now I know more about why, and I commend these guys for their efforts.
We still have some Santa Marta sativa in the Caribbean from since the 1970s but we prefer the hybrids cause they grow faster and we have good weather all year round jus sun from January to December
I have been searching for the old school buzz ,it was way stronger than anything today. back in the 80s -90s Hawaiian herb was legendary ! it was so strong you had to use visine eyedrops ,the buzz would last hours. the taste was fruity hashy and when you took a good hit ,your lungs would expand ,most ppl would cough if they took a good hit. just like if you took a big dab.
its called a higher tolerance...this is a common trope in the cannabis industry "weed back in the day was better!"....no, no, no your TOLERANCE made lesser quality weed seem better...i hear goofballs saying "sour D doesnt smell like it did when i was a kid!" well DUH youve smoked weed for 20 years, just like you cant smell cig smoke after smoking cigs for years, you cant smell or taste cannabis nearly as well as you could before smoking it daily for 20 years...weed wasnt stronger, your ability to tolerate weed was weaker
@@jayjohnson5016 i am stil searching for old school if you know you know" most are not old enough to know the experience. lung expansion was like taking a big dab! but this was just DAKINE it made your eyes chinese and bloodshot , the joint would ooze greasy oil on your lips and teeth , the flavor was hashy fruity , mango weed was great soooo tasty , the pakalolo was so sticky that you had to use a scissor to shave it into a joint,
Congratulations and Thanks for all the hard work and skilled craftsmanship.**- I wish I had some seeds from that yellow Columbian I had a few tastes of back in the 70s. That was exceptional reefer. It might have been from Santa Marta(?).
I wish I could get my hands on some of that old stable killer stuff Hemphill is talking about. First time I’ve heard of him and I’m totally digging everything he has going on. Guys like this are important to all of us as we go forward if you love cannabis
Send me your location, I have some sick old school skunk seeds free of charge my man. I live in Canada and I can legally give away two OZ of pot or seeds. I have some old school shit fo SURE>
The Dude that would be so bad ass brother but the pigs got me in January. I live in the US and they are trying to fuck my life up as much as they can for 5 plants
I love when the guy says "Don't breed with cookies Breed with something that's from your heart" Thats to true i very much felt That not everybody has to breed with all these hyped-up cultivars. When they could make something that's way better if they think about the perfect genetics to breed with. A lot of the old-school cultivars have more unique effects, compounds, flavors and properties. But it seems nobody wants to breed with any of them. Anymore it's just been out with the old and in with the new. And a lot of the new stuff these days can't even compare to any of the stuff from the 90s.
MAJOR RESPECT YOUR HIGHNESS I REALLY REALLY REALLY RESPECT THE TAN HAT MAN I SPEAK THE LANGUAGE I SEE YOUR REAL tell the world ALL YOU GUYS IM IN AZ I SHUT DOWN ALL PROJECTS UPON THE ARRIVAL OF THE REAL TRUTH ABOUT CANNABIS YOUR ALL THE BEST
The strain everyone in here wants the Skunk line from the mid 90’s, is still in Kentucky. We call it Kentucky skunk now. Check the western portion near the Kentucky lake and lake Barkley. I would go hunt it down, I just ran back into it last time I was there.
Wow What a great collection of knowledge, experience, and passionate community. My question to the group would be Are they knowledgable of the Black Sensi plant that was discovered on King Solomons grave? and Would they speculate on the strain used in the Holy Annointing oil, the true strain of The Ark of the Covenant?? One Love
I'm a young guy, who was involved with the black market way back when Reggie was selling in san diego cali and chronic was hard to find, I can tell everyone that the best shit that's over 30% thc nowadays is Nothing compared to whatever it was in the genetics of some of the original plants and chronic strains I tryed... Iv been smokeing heavy for years non stop I didn't lose my tolerance the weed lost something I don't get the red eye effect I used to and I don't get the same ammount of flavor and couch lock... it's all decent weed nowadays and that's a problem to me it's decent and looks better then it is "pretendo" I call it.. But hey that's just my 12 year weed game opinion
I've been smoking weed for over thirty years and I agree with you completely. There's *way* too much emphasis on bag appeal and numbers that don't really mean much these days, and most of the fancy "new" strains all feel the same. It's HILARIOUS to me that people nowadays seem to think us older folks were just pretending to get medicated or high on all that "weak" pot back in the day.
I’m with u guys i was a smoker from way back and in mid to late 90s we in the south had some that would only come around Christmas and we all called it Christmas tree and it was neon green with red hairs and fluffy but man it had everything i wanted u could taste that pine an hour after u smoked it and u were in for a great all around buzz for about 4 hours i WISH I COULD FIND A CUT OR SEEDS ID GROW IT JUST FOR ME AMD THATS ALL ID SMOKE it supposivelsy came from one family out of Florida but i haven’t been able to find it yet but the issues with cross breeding is eventually u mix everything up so much that u end up with basically all ur plants feel the same because they all become hybrids and that’s not weed u want skunk in ur pallet u want that strong pine taste that lingers if these younger folks could smoke those old strains they would see it’s not all about how much thc is in there it’s the combination of esters and Cbd and thc and all the terpene profiles that make each plant a different feeling and experience but everyone wants these hybrids we’ll go ahead and u will end up with all ur weed tasting the same and the same feeling eventually kind of like colors u mix the all together and u end up with brown and u have taken all ur diversity away
We truly had better backwoods urban jungle farmed smoke, grown illegally up here in south East Wisconsin back 25 years ago, then these Illinois dispensaries can provide today? A friend still has the beat down Trinity strain from 1995, a Wiley old timer still has early 1990’s Willies Wonder growing in cycles, and another fellow still runs the original versions of Black Widow and Silver Haze. & yet I really came down here to the comments to tell story of the legend of the Super Mystery Bud, an old buddy should be a recognized somewhere for his magical 4 way cross mishap. This is as good a place as any to spill the beans? A backwoods Wisconsin marijuana moonshiner had 3 different well established odd ball plants, kind of forced on him, after some other grow spot got way too hot. So these 3 plants got crammed into his veg room, sure as ish, eventually all 3 mother plants all went hermaphrodite and ultimately infected his separate glue fire room, as everything in the house crossed up went seedy, instead of just killing off everything and just restarting from scratch, he bought a spray for inducing the plants to fully go to seed, he collected pollen sacs and crushed them up, rubbing the combined dust on his seeded up glue fire plants, creating the seeds that were simply labeled A/B, we were all trimming up a harvest when he handed out to anyone there that wanted some, his experimental seeds, that he referred to as his 4 way cross fuck up, except at first no body in our circle of strict anti seed cloners, really inquired further into the parental mix of strains, no one thought too much, of what could eventually amount to being just seeds of hermaphroditic prone plants, so initially no one thought much of these seeds, and most within our circle regrettably either lost, misplaced, and tossed out these seeds! At least until our buddy, who produced the seeds by pure accident, suddenly died! So a few of us who held onto his seeds germinated and ran them, as as a sort tribute to our buddy that passed away, and wouldn’t you know it, the seeds he procured to us, produced plants 10 times better than anything we ever had experienced in Wisconsin! Where we’ve always run heavy hitter top cutting edge thc content strains like G-13, LSD, Chemy Jones, but there was never enough of this 4 way cross to go around, it was the sold out red hot ticket, heavily traded above market price like a blue chip stocks, even the exclusive dispensary only hipsters pounded our doors down for more! After his passing, no one could collectively remember the 3 other odd ball strains that he’d inadvertently mixed into his glue fire, so it started being referred to as the Super Mystery Bud, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it could win a cannabis award cup, it has to be well above 30%+...8)
@@travisb4514 I am very interested in the Thai itself, or the VN, Lao, Cambo... etc. Not really into the polyhybridization. Seeking original uncrossed genetics. Racist! 😎
I've been way out of the loop for 20 years, but Blueberry was the high end/greatest stuff around back then in Upstate NY. I was a very casual smoker, but for whatever it's worth, that strain blew me away. The only options back in the day I was aware of were; "Mexican Dirt Weed", "NL5", "White Widow" (little hazy on this one, don't think I ever got to try it) and the king - "Blueberry". I'm pretty damn exited for the legal market to start here, so many experiences to come and at least one to revisit for sure.
One of the first plants i grew back in like 2008 was called "nemesis". It was so piney and stoney and i didnt realize how special it was. I have never grown anything like that since
Irony. Lebanese cultivars have been breeding CBD rich varietals for perhaps 5000 years. Frenchy Cannoli still raves about it 3 decades later.The good stuff is like sunshine in a jar. Low ( 2.5 to 8% THC) & high CBD. But the way it makes you feel is like no others. Columnar structure to suit mass production , drought resistant and nutrient efficient. Yet people ignore it because " it doesn't have the numbers" We in what was once the green state ( South Australia) knew a quater of a century of ago was THC numbers dont even begin to tell the story on subjective potency of effect and WAY more important QUALITY of effect. Looking to the past to create the future direction of cultivation is a smart move. Yet this is but one small part of a massively diverse landrace biodiversity. The problem with the internet is it now becomes a visual thing instead of touch taste & smell as a representation of "quality"
Oh damn so wait that guy said he had that really great weed from virginia that he showed the girls on the greatful dead tour. Does virginia have a good weed scene?
maybe its too late but we gotta get the word out to the farmers around the world if a man named aryan comes with a shirt that says greedhouse seed co dont take his seeds or his petty cash .
Is there any Alaskan Thunder Fuck crosses? Or feminized seeds available idk who the guy was talking about it. I've had it super stoney stuff I neglected the one plant I had turned out to be one of the best.
I kinda wish it stayed illegal because big corp will ruin it for sure! However I wish everyone and anyone had to ability to just order up some of these special strains to experience them. I travel to different countries and states just to taste their bud and I'm finding out it's all the same in these popular legal areas.
yeah man, i hear you guys, "Caca mono" and mango rosa has been erradiacted from my region, long long long long long ago.. so sad, i remember the giggles i would get from the pu-pu smelling herb. the best uplifting experience. All this indca crap doesnt even touch that.
It's HILARIOUS to me that people nowadays seem to think us older folks were just pretending to get medicated or high on all that "weak" pot back in the day.
The hate towards cookie strains is pretty ridiculous. Lets love these breeders but screw all the hard working people behind the scenes to put all these new products on the market.
I would be more concerned with companies like Cresco having monopolies in the Illinois market and pumping out horrible products that is clearly quantity over quality.
I wish you guys are less vulnerable. "Wolves at the door". In PA, it's a flood of cookies, gel, sherb, good prices here. What happened to dj short, me seed bank? Canadians embraced, exploited CA, OR.WA. Cooperate is taking over traditional market on east coast. That's your money. Should be anyway.
lol, I wonder what the statue of limitations are for admitting you bought your current home with money made from illegal cannabis business? I wouldnt be admitting that yet Kevin lol
As long as you smoke and not competing with oil companies you should be alright same what they did with alcohol!!!! Thats why they dont allow quality hemp !!!!!!!! Biofuels all you people talking about is smoking
