The Great Cheese Deception

I have never (knowingly) smoked or grown silver pearl.

I got lots of packs of those freebies from the 2004 cup, sk1 and durbanxsk1. Germ rates were very low and lots of hermies in both lines, Durban were mostly males.

I gave the remaining packs to a friend to grow in the south of France. I smoked the bud he got, seeded as he had hermies too, but it wasn't bad, skunk does well outdoors in a good climate.

Never grown the Pure personally but seen it in a few gardens.

There's a Shiva cutting still around, a friend had it recently, it's very strong and stony.

I also got 100 of those DurbanSk...but the bad reports posted online definitively prevented me from germinating them...lol

I must acknowledge though I had good germ rate with the Sk#1...

Peace.

Putting words in my mouth there, I never said it had no potency or there was no reason to grow it. I merely said it wasn't that potent. Sk1 is 12-14% THC, therefore not that potent...

There's a very Colombian dom Skunk#1 that takes 12 weeks I'd love to get my hands on, Dampkring were selling it as Alegria a few years back. I saw a room full of it in Holland and it is a yielder, big colas.

I think I remember Allegria.

Wasn't it very sweet but also very weak....

This is usually what happens when breeders inbred Sk#1 for more yield.

Peace.

I don't think it's a highly inbred Skunk, I think it's an older less worked one.

I don't remember it being particularly sweet, it was very nice in taste, had a sandalwood tone, the sweetess of skunk underlying a soft woodsy character.

It wasn't all that potent, similar to other skunks like Cheese but with a very much better character to the high, far more uplifting.
 
According to you it comes from pre 85 stock or later?

Peace.

Later, it will be something from the lines Sam brought to Holland. I asked Ron who owns the Dampkring and he told me it was an old cut Sam gave out.

In the 78 skunk beans from a friend in cali I grew there were 40% bright green acapulco phenos with big fluffy buds, 40% darker spear-shaped Colombian phenos and 20% indica phenos.
 
Would you happen to know if Allegria is not the Sk#1 pheno which used to be called "Drietje" by the Dutch?

Peace.

My favorite skunk was a 1987 NL5 x Sk1 from Nevil. I much preferred it to the Super Skunk that was around. It was quite skunky, not sweet at all, with extra frost, and a very nice potent effect.

I crossed a male from that batch to "The Goo" a cut that was around Seattle back then. I should give those old seeds a try someday.
 
and coop; green crack is super skunk? this is the first time i ever heard that? your comment gives me incentive to look it up once again but i was almost certain it was a more modern hyb. bohdi has worked with it in recent history so i know where to start the search. peace-biteme
 
the g.c is def a skunk offspring.

Not sure if it was any breeders stock, but I could swear the background is sk1 x afghan.

It also goes by green cush and a few other names.
and don't quote this as truth just something I found.

Green Crack was an 89 SSSC skunk#1 crossed with an unknown indica in athens ohio in about 1990. It was indeed made by cecilC. Cecil is the kind of guy who would'nt want to take credit for making it as it was just a random cross. The part about MrGreenBeans was pretty acurrate. Only mrgreenbeans was'nt living anywhere near georgia. He had people that were bringing him pounds of Green Crack aka Cush and he loved it and wanted to grow it. He kept trying to get clones from these guys and they would always say no.

Eventually for the price of $2,500 he was able to get a clone of it. Those georgia guys, mrgreenbeans and CecilC all call it Cush with a C not to be confused with Kush. I think when mrgreenbeans got the clone it was around 94.

Cecils old friends that had the Cush still he stopped talking to for reasons and was'nt in that area anymore. Another old user some of you may remember named Bunz had this plant out in southern cali that was not named but he was selling herb to snoop dog if you believe the story(but bunz was'nt one to make shit up), was selling herb to snoop dog and snoop named it green crack. Years later, I met mrgreenbeans on a canadian IRC chat client and invited him to come chat at truestoners. He did and he and cecil kicked it off and the three of us met up and exchanged clones. At the same time or rather right before then, cecil got Bunz to send him clones of green crack and a few others and the green crack and the Cush are identicle. Now as everyone knows I used to send out tons of clones/cuttings constantly and the green crack aka Cush was one that I sure had a big hand in spreading out. Sometimes newbies in chat bitch about me hoarding shit, but anyone who thinks that has'nt a clue. Look how many folks out there have some of my old strains now. CecilC was the same way though he was a bit paranoid about sending out and sometimes would take forever to do it, but he honestly is and was very much against hoarding, thinking that everyone should grow the best possible. So green crack aka Cush sure got spread around a bunch. I have heard folks saying that her structure looks like old skunk#1 or super skunk, but it is not, it is what it is, just apprears very similliar, but hell let's think about it super skunk = skunk#1 x afgani, Cush/green crack = skunk#1 x indica, same basic theory of a cross. She is very fast flowering, the fastest by far that I have ever seen from the approximatly 200 strains that I have grown. She has this super sweet like sickly sweet candy fruit taste and smell. She is a good one for sure. She is not my favorite, I find that with those types of fast sativa doms I build a fast tolerance, of course everyone else gets ripped from it. I think she is decently potent, not schrom or OG kush, but not weak by any means. Well that's the story if anyone has any questions shoot. peace"
 
G`day Kash

So if SK x NL is Shiva Sk what is Shiva Shanti ?
I read Ben Dronkers sayin it was a favourite of his ,so I ordered some from a dodgy seed bank but they never arrived still wonderin ...

Thanks for sharin

Elmer Bud .

From The Big Book of Buds #1, Shiva Skunk p.143:

(...)Shiva (related to the original Shiva/Shanti) was a selected Afghani type that was part of the Sensi Seed gene bank in the 1980s. When the Seed Bank and Sensi Seeds merged in 1990, the original Shiva mother was replaced by the top Northern Lights strain - NL#5.(...)

Hope this helps.

Peace.

i will look some more but i think you're right coop. i knew green crack was a hyb but i thought it was a newer mix rather than a newer name on a very old lady that has been here forever. the snoop dog thing got me? lol. and on this shiva thing; there is a potent, strong aroma shiva i have always wanted to try if i could figure out which one it is be it shiva shanti, shiva skunk, or .......? peace-biteme

Shiva Shanti has Garlic Bud in it so no wonder it stinks.

I forget now but I'm pretty sure Shiva Shanti is a four-way indica hybrid with Garlic Bud as one of the four parents. Shiva Shanti II has more Garlic Bud in it according to old Sensi catalogues.

Whatever Shiva Shanti was originally, it was something of Nevil's

God knows what it is now, Sensi's strains went to hell after Nevil left.

That is a good question, I don't know, I'll see if I can find out.

There is a sk1 cutting in Holland called Mallahullu that is supposed to be good, only seen pictures on the net, never seen it in the flesh. I must have smoked some in Holland at some point, it was sold in the South and I've toured the South more than once.
