Kentucky and Appalachia is where the real Skunk is likely residing. JR from oldschoolchronic.com is currently breeding some 1990s Kentucky skunk strains that are supposed to be legit. He procured the seeds from old moonshiner families in KY. Also I bought seeds from Kentucky Organics his skunk is supposed to be loud also. But Im quite sure the real skunky shit is from KY and it probably used to have Mexican in it but I heard that it was pushing the outdoor harvest deep into frost and over the years the KY growers switched to more indica varieties cuz they finish faster. Im not from KY so I cannot validate this I am going off of what I read online. But nowadays most KY skunk has indica in it but way back in the day there was likely more Mexican in there. IMO the loudest skunky herb I have ever smelled had a sativa influence and the Mexican shit was loud. Most people think shitty brick weed with Mexico but thats cuz they were shitty at growing it and it was ruined in transport the actual genetics were skunky if you found the right phenos.

I’m in upper mi, still winter here. Right now my temps are between 60-78, when’d summer hits I’ll change my thermostat to keep both veg n flower rooms to between 60-85. I’m really not happy hitting anything higher than 85. I run an air conditioner in summer and de humidifier to keep humidity below 65% during winter everything is easier to control and humidity never( unless I mist) goes above 57%.

With leds you need to let the temp up to match leaf surface temp to ambient to get the stomata open and transpiration to occur, about 85. Also this effect causes the ph to drift up, check your soil ph but I would bet your not getting low enough and locking out your N. II had similar problems when first experimenting with leds. Adding magnesium will help open the stomata also. Higher vpd helps offset the stomata issues as well.

One big help with Boards and strips are numbers of Un-lensed diodes which can be run close enough to help with that.

I’m in rock wool ph in res is stable,but your the 3rd person saying the room temp needs to come up! My room is kept on a thermostat keeping temp between 60* and 75* but once I hit spring the room will climb to mid 80’s. I have it set to never get any higher than 88* f. Should I reset it to 90f?

I guess you do not know the right people then...it is in quite the abundance here in the Valley until Christmas when it is all sold out.

I seriously doubt it. Probably some fruity skunk 1 that they call "real skunk" and people that dont know the difference jumps all over it.

Also just a little further west into Arkansas, Ozark Mountain foothills. There was a time about 35+ years ago where driving through the foothills smelled like dead skunk there was so much being grown in the area.

In the early 90s the growers in that area were busted and tons of skunk was taken off the map.

Yeah I believe it. What a shame all that amazing skunk genetics gone. Im sure one day not too long from now were gonna start to see that old RKS start to surface again. The community is getting close to a breakthrough I can feel it.

Its not gone. Its elusive because modern growing tech has ruined them. People selecting and " breeding " with LED has been detrimental to those breeding paths.
Remember:

Phenotype = genotype+environment

I have never came across a plant that LED can make better. But I've had many that do much better without LED.

My stinkiest cuts grown under mh/hps or sun have proven loud skunk.
But those same cuts can be entirely different grown under LED .

UV is absolutely needed to get the most complex odors possible from the genotype. Screenshot_20220421-084527.png

so your theory is we don't see skunk because growers are using LED? If that were the case wouldn't the OD boys/gals still be finding it?
