Skunk is made from Acapulco Gold which is “Mexican weed” also on most list as one of the best strains of all time.

Skunk1 is yes as for rks who knows but best example id say is look for the kinda almost zig zag structure kinda and that be closer to the Acapulco gold structure wise the uk cheese clones kinda got this going on as do other old skunk1 phenos before it was bottlenecked to shit in the wrong direction imo

I'm interested in landraces, they seem to be the buzzword going around. However I'm more interested in finding it creating seeds acclimated to my specific valley. The old hippy growers used to tell me that if you found a good strain, and acclimated it to your specific spot, that every year the strain would improve in strength, resistance to mold and become, in effect, the best shit you could possibly grow. That's my dream. That's my path. And I believe it starts with Mass Super Skunk. I just can't get my fuckin hands on it.

Mass Super Skunk is definitely still around in clone only form but I have to ask where you are and why you think that particular cut is the best place to start a breeding project to acclimate for your region?

Well, first, I am in Massachusetts, thus Massachusetts Super Skunk I would think would be acclimated to this area?
Second, I'd like to think this was the same strain I grew up with in the fields of my friends father.
More specifically, I am in the Pioneer Valley around Wendell, MA. area, along the CT River.
To be honest, I'm not sure why I have such a desire for the MSS, I can only say it is a gut feeling, and I listen to my inner voice.
If you have any other suggestions, I'd be open to creating a dialog.
Last note, I dont remember ever the fields having issue with bugs, rot, mildew, or if so, it was very isolated and minimal.

I'm from Massachusetts, was raised by Vietnam vets, and military guys that would travel all over. I think rainbow was the first bud I actually hallucinate on. Knocked me onto the couch on a trip to the sun at the ripe age of 17...bongsmilie:peace::peace::peace:

Ok, ok, I retract my "Mexican weed is garbage" statement. What I should have said, was that MOST of the weed that came out of Mexico was brickpacked, seed filled brown weed.
God bless 'The Smuggler' and his buddy that flew to Pakistan and brought back the seeds that changed the entire paradigm. The Onanagons? My memory is fuzzy here. I was in San Diego in the mid 80s when Ocean Beach local, 'The Wizard' I introduced me to 'Skunk weed from Humboldt ' These were small, goofball and smaller sized nuggets which immediately became the only weed I wanted to smoke. It looked pretty, light lime green, smelled skunky, expanded your lungs like hash, and left one completely stoned.
Ahhh, the good ol days.
Nearly a couple decades later, I lived in Willits for a spell, and learned a lot there. About all kinds of shit. Wish I'd saved that peanut butter jar of seeds I left behind.

And oh, yes! The Panama Red! Holy shit strong. Good luck smoking a bone if that. I remember a thin joint would get like 5 of us ripped, the last guy would suck the roach to nothing and eat the very end. Maybe we did that to remove evidence, but, it was a ritual.

Interesting you mentioned Willits! I'm growing some IBL skunk that is supposed to be from there. It came from here. The story is in the strain description. https://www.kingdomorganicseeds.com/kos-seed-shop/gamblers-table/kos-red-russian-skunk-f2/

Mass Super Skunk is some great smoke but it can actually be kinda finicky in my experience. It definitely wouldn't be my first choice for a field in MA. I'm not 100% sure but I'm fairly certain it's creators we're indoor growers but I can say it definitely wasn't refined over generations to be acclimated to the environment in MA. In fact, it was more discovered than created if the stories are to be believed. It's got a great stone but I found it to be more burnt rubber and acetone than Skunk spray.

To be honest, I know it's way off from Skunk spray, but if I wanted to breed a strain primarily for outdoor growing in New England is probably start with Strawberry Cough. SC was brought to NY from CT by Kyle Kushman, and one of its parents was Strawberry Fields, a strain that was originally bred for outdoor growing in VT. It's supposed to be very mold resistant. I would love to find some actual Strawberry Fields but I've never seen it around. I have one cross that claims it has Strawberry Fields as a parent from a breeder in VT but I haven't gotten around to cracking it yet. Either that or just go with some good Afghan stock and start from scratch.

Not to discourage you from your endeavor, just didn't want you to spend a bunch of timing hunting down an MSS cut just to find out it wasn't at all what you were looking for!

I appreciate you! If you have any suggestions for where I can find these, or any beans that would do well in mass I'd be grateful for the info.
One if my bosses went all the way to NY to get 'The Real Sour D' a few years ago. Plot was beautiful, until borers almost wiped it out. Luckily, I caught it in time and was able to save them, after much work. I've also heard LSD and Blueberry does well in this region, have yet to see.
Strawberry Cough. Hmmm.
Ty.
