So I watched this podcast:
It has Todd From AG seeds and it is a great podcast that goes into his past and acquisition of these old strains.

The only thing I disagree with was his view on skunk. He said that everyone was just selling the skunk bud before it was fully dry and that’s why it stunk like skunk so bad. That’s not true, well maybe they were selling it wet but I don’t think that attributed to the stink. It was so ripe that if you had a gram in your pocket the whole grocery store would smell it. I’m sorry but his skunk doesn’t smell like that when it’s alive so that can’t be it. I think it is gone with the wind. Anyway it’s an awesome podcast and highly suggest checking it out. By the way I love his genetics.
 
I never would have equated skunk to cheese.

My brain puts them in different categories. They might both be smelly, but I can’t pull them together.
I have also heard of people saying garlic and skunk are same:same. I can’t get past that either.

might be that I’m being too obtuse with my definitions, but they just don’t seem the same to me.
 
I read a lot of negative stuff about his beans......... hermies, low quality, etc. I'd love to have some of the genetics, but they've have clearly been watered down over the years.

Wow I haven’t heard that before. I mean Skunk Number one is clearly not the skunk of yester year but I really like it. It’s mostly it’s a sweet earthy smell/taste. I ran the skunks and had zero hermies. I am running some Skunk #1 and some Skywalker OG x purest Indica right now. If it hermies on me I will report.
 
I think he does open pollination on his stuff which means phenos will be ALL over the place............i've stayed away since he does not do fem's and I've read many issues about some strains have hermies. But still, curious about anyone working with NL #2's and NL#5's.

It sounds like that’s how he does Haze as he wants to keep the phenos open.

I have a bunch of NL#2 that I am going to run this summer in the greenhouse. Hopefully Ill get at least ten females out of thirty beans.

Following, I’ve been looking for Skywalker OG for years. Never once in my searches has this breeder popped up. I need my googler fixed.
 
I grew a lot of Nevil's NL#2 stuff in the late 70's, early 80's..........fantastic buzz but a very low yielder. There's some others working this one that seemed to have stabilized the goodness but I'd have to remember who.
 
Also, I thought "garlic plant" was associated with a hash plant, not skunk.......
 
Just an update on AG seeds genetics. I grew five Skywalker OG x purest indica(Northern Lights #1) inside last winter to see if it’s worth growing in the greenhouse. One of those plants did herm on me. But the smoke was sooooooo good. So good that I am running that in my greenhouse this summer as well. Only one plant next to the exhaust fan(in case it herms)of that strain so I hope it’s not the hermy pheno. I am also running some of his Northern Lights #2. I’m so tired of all the modern poly hybrids. After smoking Todd’s indica I remembered what it was like to be high again, not just stoned. Actually just about everything in my greenhouse is old school genetics. I also moved three 79’ Florida Skunk out there so that should be fun. All this new weed sucks. It’s all the same gelato mixes of fruity frosty shit that looks good but barely does anything to your headspace. Old school is the way.

Agreed man I’m an old head and all these crazy strains and mixes… give me a Skunk#1 or an Afghani #1 or 2, Jack Herer, White Widow, G13.. still absolutely love the originals

Yeah and good luck finding actual cuts of those strains!
 
Here is the Skywalker OG x Purest Indica. Super heavy hitting golf ball nugs of indica couch bombs. I did get a hermaphrodite in this grow but it was soooo good I decided to grow it again this year. So far I am very happy with AG genetics. The only let down was skunk number one was not skunk at all. It was super good but not the skunk from yesterday year. But this stuff is bueno for gringo.

i was about to ask if you had any hermies, then I read your post. This seems to be the only complaint about this seedbank, hermies. I'd love to have some of his things, but I'm too old to deal with the crap.

They look great, by the way!

I’ve only read that one other place about hermies. I’ve found damn near all the modern breeders just make new hybrids every year and do no stabilizing at all. Doesn’t surprise me. Everyone is all about the money these days.
