Real deal Romulan?

Mine comment regarding fan size was during veg. They thin out a good deal in flower. Mine always threw a couple beans. Literally 1-4 in 4' plants. Never saw nanners or anything though.

i meant im not sure my Rom beans are from the good genetics when comparing to your description? im thinking my environmental conditions are contributing to the herm issue?, with root rot disease an ever present pressure on my plants

Mine was always in soil when I was running it. She seemed to like soil better than coco or rockwool. My comment about the beans in my plant was stating that mine were definitely herming a bit somewhere, I just never saw any of the male parts. She was good at hiding it. Also a really small deal as 4 seeds in a half pound of bud is fairly negligible.

Can you tell me how old Skunk is or where abouts ? I recently acquired some old genetics from circa80-86 and they look like a perfect mixture of skunk and afghan. (Grown two afghani and a few skunks before), but they all seem homogenous, almost IBL like except for the fact that theyre so damn vigorous. Im a youngblood and sadly missed all the good ol' days of the past like Thai Sticks, Oaxacan Gold, Etc.
Skunk came out in 85. Cultivators choice.

Yeah I also have several crosse that make up about 1000 beans I made with the romulan mom I had around for a while.

Rom X white widow
Rom X sfv og (bx)
Rom X skywalker(not skywalker og)
Rom X trainwreck

Just a few.

Since you did the Rom White Widow cross and my beans are suppossed to be backcrossed from that...i wonder if my beans are decendents from your cross... and if so... i wonder what traits might i see that could possibly confirm that?

That's what an F1 does... hyper vigor and uniformity. Good combinations produce amazing plants. Most cannabis "F1's" are not even close to actual F1's which require two largely homogenous parents.

I'll be able to tell if there are any differences come time to smoke. But of all the seeds I've ever popped, these are like running clones they're so homogeneous

The cut I was running was something extremely special, retired kens cut GDP and sfv og and kept the romulan around for reference. Not that it's more potent than the sfv, but sfv got a little over played for my tastes and I like my Tahoe cut better and my opinion is having one good og around is enough. I'll retire my current cut when I get a better one. :).

Romulan was one of the frostiest strains I've ever run as far as my memory serves me. Im going to go through my old pics and see if I can find any. Had her for a while, but lost her maybe 5 years ago in a move. So hopefully I still have some pics around.

I haven't run that particular cross in a while. But I got a tall sativa Dom pheno group that was mostly widow, a short stalky indica pheno group more like the romulan but still white widow took over the smell/taste, and a bunch of mutt phenos that were pretty decent. I'm not a huge fan of how much the ww took over the traits in the cross and I lost my romulan mom so I can't bx to bring out more of the rom. Probably why I haven't really continued working that one.

Would love to see some pics if you can find em. :)

I was never a big fan of the ww traits either, but if those are back crossed out of my beans enough im thinkin these could be a big deal.

No. But the did come from a reputable distributor and i got them about 6 months ago, shortly after they became available. I know its not the original, as that just doesnt exist anymore, but there was a backcross of it a long while back by Subcool, and those seeds have come up from time to time. Its as close to the original as can be got.

I hope thats what i have but there is no way to know for sure... but that can be said about any strain these days...
I WOULD NOT TRUST SUBCOOL but that's just me.ky

Skunk came out in 85. Cultivators choice.
Skunk #1 is a hybrid strain that has influenced cannabis on a global scale, parenting a horde of Skunk crosses since it first bloomed in the late 1970s. Sacred Seed Co. originally bred Skunk #1 using diverse genetics from around the world; Afghani, Acapulco Gold, and Colombian Gold varieties converged through an intricate selective breeding process that spanned several generations, and finally the genetic cornerstone of countless cannabis hybrids was born.

The original Skunk #1 gave rise to several variations that were later harvested in the gardens of Sensi Seeds, Dutch Passion, Flying Dutchmen, Nirvana Seeds, and Royal Queen Seeds. As its name suggests, Skunk #1 buds radiate with an aromatic blend of sour skunkiness and subtle earthy notes. This hybrid offers elevated creativity through its high-energy buzz, while stress and appetite loss melt away with Skunk #1’s potency.

I've never heard of anybody who actually got seeds from sacred seeds. Skunk went platinum in 85.
