#1, Im from Eastern Ky, where Skunk is hiding in the mountains. Ive been smoking "Skunk" since at least 1979, and it has NEVER been called Road Kill Skunk... The stuff smells like a Skunk, and thats it. Be it spray, or different degrees of skunky reek.
Weve got all kinds of skunks where I live too. You can go for a drive at night in the summer, with the windows down, and wonder if youre smelling a skunk, or someones weed patch. Im in the heart of weed growing country in Ky, and have been smoking since 1966. Labeling the stuff RKS, is a myth.
The Shit line from what I understand has been bred to Shanti's afghan line.
Mels/Todd line has only been backcrossed 2x since 1988, and has only been open pollinated as to not bottle neck it.
I also dont care about whos politics ect vs Todd, Mel ect. Care less. All I care about is acquiring the genetics. Thats it.
Also Todd reduced the price on the Sk1, and sells them for $10 a seed. I agree they were overpriced at first, even worse was the shipping cost, but I still bought some, just so the genes didnt get away. I ordered 40 more when he dropped the price, and put them on Preorder a couple months ago. Theyre now getting ready to go out.
Also not saying the Shit doesnt have some pretty good weed, but I didnt find it as good in either structure, or potency vs the MF Sk1. The MF Sk1 produced more, and the plants were more consistent from 1 plant, to the next,.
The Sk1 also had much narrower leaves, and lankier plants vs Shit. Shit is most compact
McCormick is also going to have ORIGINAL NL5 seeds.
Not the stuff that Nevil, and everyone else in Europe got either.
Greg McCallister gave McCormick 50 of his Original NL5 genetics, and said the clone Nevil got was crossed with either NL1, or NL2, and the Clone was Not pure NL5. Hes going to have these for preorder in 2-3 weeks. Radagasfarmer on Instagram also has the Hawaiian seed line Greg used to create the NL5. This is verified by Greg. The genetics are from BOEL..
radagastfarmer I have the Hawaiian seedline that Greg used to make NL, verified by Greg. I was given these, and other seeds, by an old BOEL chemist. We should collaborate
@toddpmccormick Greg told me that he collaborated with the Hawaiian BOEL crew. He crossed the Hawaiian with his own Afghan to make NL. NL5 was the NL backcrossed to the Hawaiian. The NL5 Nevil, and the rest of A'Dam, got was really NL5xNL2 (or NL5xNL1). So if you got NL5 from Greg, then you're one of the few to have the pure seedline of NL5. The Hawaiian is Swazi x Thai x Mexican x Afghan. And NL is the addition of another Afghan to that cross.
