NEVILLE'S SKUNK - outdoor 2010

Most of my growing was indoors under relatively good conditions. I never saw much purple, even thought the same lines showed a lot more purple outdoors Pink pistles did show up from time to time, but I never selected for it. None of the super cuttings ever had it.
I played with a Dutch Purple and Sams PH. It looked pretty but smoked like crap. I've got no patience with cosmetics if the high is not great.
Smoking qualities are high smell and taste. Commercial qualities also include resin, yield and bud structure. Growing qualities include flowering time, resistance to mould and parasites and vigour. Intersex traits were also to be avoided. It's hard to find something that ticks all these boxes. I don't want to add more.

The F1 NL5Hz came closest to the ideal, but the flowering time was 10/11 weeks.
SSH flowered at 8 weeks, but sacrificed a little smell and taste.

Where do we rate purple in the above list?
For me, it didn't rate at all.

this is a great post

ive always ben interested to know about purple traits in the mns haze hybrids,after asking question to the few select growers of strains such as nevilles haze n afghan haze which have showed purple traits in the dried flowers ive been very curious as the thought was in wasnt cold induced .IME sk/hz has shown purple in early veg during cool nights but not in the finished product .

it seems the majorities belief purple strains are nothin but somthing to look at it seems they get hype because of their beauty ,but i know of a few that are the exception reservation labs has a few which are old preserved cali strains he's not releasing lineages ,the day of the dead /grape skunk are 2 known to show purple that have ben reported to be are around high quality ,IME purple kush which i believe to be the original cut was high one of my top smokes



since you mention working with purple haze again and SAMS has reported that no clones survive from the original haze im curious as to how he still had purple haze ,although you werent impressed could you tell us more about her trait especially taste /aromas anything you recall from your experiences ?

this would be most appreciated

The purple haze from Sam was a complete waste of time as far as I was concerned. My thoughts at the time were that he must of crossed his lime haze, which was a diluted haze compared to mine, to a Dutch purple, which was pretty early, in order to produce an easy to grow haze with a fancy name (purple haze). It was a cheap imitation with nothing to recommend it. But what do I know? He called it Purple Haze.

Thanks for such a great post Nevil !

As for pink pistils, its shown/noticed not only in Neville's Skunk but in many of MNS crosses where Skunk are included.
From experience these pinky pheno have shorter finishing time for couple weeks than Hazy one.
Also pinky has shorter lasting than hazy pheno.
Hazy pheno are much more frostier than pinky pheno.
This year , none of pinky cuttings didnt show pink pistils.

I agree with most how Shanti describe Neville's Skunk just I dont get it why he put 4 of 5 stars for yielding when its pure 5 STARS.
40L bag / 250-300 garms , what isnt good there... it sounds more like a WOW !
But lets see when it dry and to measure exact yield.

Its Oct 20 and that is max max for what I can keep plants outside, even mould are shown on couple colas so I thought its time for harvest.

All that coloured leaves are from cold and rainy weather in last 10 day.

the purple haze of the 70's was highly spoke of,iwas curious as to the comparison of traits

I thought sams ph myself to be a hybrid n I understand it was unimpressive in ur experience


I'd lov to hear about the taste_ aromas growth you hav experienced

AHHHHH, where are you Mr. Postman, I have some of these bad boys that need planting! They look so sexy! I'm really excited about these beans, it's sort of like SSH with an Afghan influence ^^
 
Thx guys, its nice indeed !

"by me" its rated 8/10 cause I didnt meet genetics 10/10, however 10/10 means its the best genetics on the world and can not be better.

 
Hi BlizzOut

nice harvest man and thanks for sharing all the beautiful pics from that great looking NevsSkunk

great job with those , looking forward to hearing the results as soon as the harvest in dry and cured

I am as well, I'm excited as I have a pack of these. Next spring could be exciting outdoor planting times it seems!
 
Thx L33t ! Its dried already and give 340gr / per plant in 40 L bag.
Well, for curing I need to wait month or so.

Ouchie, you will have fun in NS growing.
If I can give one advice, top NS how much its possible until August, dont count just top her on every two-three weeks.It will stretch a lot in August and each of that top will become 40cm+ long cola.

Bushpig, trust me, I was surprised when scale show 340grams (+ couple what I smoke hehe ).

Just ... I have two NS more to harvest :P

Those turned out great Blizz!

I feel Nev's Skunk is the most underrated MNS strain that I have tried. The strongest I have grown from MNS, as far as raw power goes. Too strong for most situations. Grew it indoor. I can't wait to live somewhere where I can do a few outdoor again - stuff grown in full sun is so nice, You did a fantastic job!!

Gonna pop a few of these beans right now ...

... the deed is done, along with some MK x Sk1. I was planning on the later with Mango Haze instead of Nevs Skunk. This thread and the other 2 grow threads changed my mind - thanks!.

This is one of those plants, from my experience, that is what I consider a radical changer as it cures. It is strong from the get but after a cure of about 90 days, even better if you can wait 120, it is devastating. At first I could go out, play music, talk and put the rest away to cure and kinda forgot about it. After 4 months it got down right nasty strong. Overwhelming if you aren't ready for it. The type of herb you break out on your best of friends when chilling and assholes who need a good "trip" when they are being buzzkills.

I have a lot of La Nina, SSH, and Mango Haze jarred up and a lot more LN rolling though. I ran out all the MH cuttings and was going to try and find something a bit better like the quality of SSH and LN keepers but the pictures of your plants got me off my ass and got the seeds between the wet towels.

Weeehoooo, can't wait!

Thanks for the inspiration. I hope you have the best smoke you have encountered in that batch.
 
My seeds are from the test beans Shanti sent out - he sent like 24,

Anyways, put 3 in towels and 3 MK x Sk and they all popped in 24 hours.

Thanks again for helping me make up my mind, all 3 of yas who have been growing them!!

6 months and, if any of these are girls, these should have a bit of a cure and I will be burning them. I know in 2 weeks if we are moving and selling this house or staying. If I am staying, I am setting up a cold months Sativa room in the attic. I hate not knowing!!

Anyways, will start my own thread.

Thanks again!! Good work.
