Helpfull information for us terp/cannabinoid seekers.

Helpfull information for us terp/cannabinoid seekers.

people seeking Pacific terp profiles should read up on fragrances/ perfumes . they have been mixing smells for years with recorded results/data . that could save years/work .
There may be un wanted terps/cannabinoids/genetics preventing a full representation and or possable needed terps/cannabinoids/genetics affecting full representation. you will be surprised to see how a single terp/smell affects others.

That is very good information, I wonder often what
potential terpene combinations my crosses produce
downstream.

I've been flowering a White Rhino that smells like
cheese, and if I cross it with a plant that has a meat
profile could I get a philly cheesesteak pheno, lol

Has anyone tried adding some extra sulfur to increase the aromas? I am wondering if you found a real stinker if you could coax more out of it by adding more sulfur such as gypsum or a bit more Epsom salts.

AND
There really is NO SUCH THING as Road Kill Skunk... That's a very recently made up name for the purpose of selling seeds & nothing more... That said... There is NO SUCH THING as RKS S1.

However,
If you can make & stabilize for RKS terps you'll be the very first.
Again, good luck.

Not exactly. Roadkill skunk name goes back to about 2000 at least.

I DO have roadkill genetics. Not a guess to try and recreate. I got one seed to grow from some RKS selfed seeds from the 90's, so its actually roadkill skunk genetics. we just called it skunk in 1980, but by around 2000 i defnitely heard the roadkill addition. We don't have skunks up here in BC, so the roadkill name wasn't second nature, as it is more south where the skunks play on the road. I believe the name came from some state where they have skunks.

skunky terps rule, very addictive I can assure you.

Agree there usto be some skunky gems in the brick days the mid-grade stuff from mexico was always seedy but were a few very pungent skunky buds from time to time....still think the rks is in the feeding and to some extent stress (that skunky foliage smell that occurs in lots of plants before harvest) and environment pollution/air contaminants....high sulfuric rose food (miracle garden) which is probably not safe to smoke but was commonly used back in the day could also be a factor....another factor to the loss of these "skunky" genetics is people getting popped for growing such skunky shit pre medical-card days

The part about achieving skunk terps via food and stress is not true, but its fun to speculate.

You have skunk cabbage up there, thats a pretty good guide. A genuine dead skunk has a similar odor, but can be a lot more intense.
I also agree about the "roadkill" addition to the name being something that happened later on, back in the 80s/90s in Virginia we were looking for "skunk" or "skunkweed". "Roadkill" is just another good descriptive term though, I can only guess that the average person is a lot more likely to experience that odor as roadkill rather than in the wild.
There are nuances to the smell of a skunk of course, but I've never heard of anyone saying that Roadkill Skunk or RKS is anything characteristically different in odor from the skunky stuff that went around in the distant past.

Isn't that because its the same thing? I'm confused how you differentiate. Like I said, it was called skunkweed at first, then roadkill skunk/ skunkweed later. Same plant.

Branding,ego's and strians called skunk that have no skunk smells are why rks came about. Furtger more now some shady want-a-bees are saying they have rks but what they dont say is there rks is bull shit as in rks=real killer smoke lol and many other attempts to cash in on people's hopes.

Thats why i call my strains "pot #1" and so on lol. If it comes your way "pot #3" is a nice skunky girl with extrem vigour. I dont want money or fame i do what i do for love of the plant.

 

[PDX Dopesmoker]

I agree

Maybe in the latter days, but not initially. Its just a very apt descriptive term that came about after the plant was around for awhile. No marketing hype or anything; this was all just based on the cutting(s), no seeds.

If a strain is skunkweed genetics, as in the 1980 or so clone that circulated around the northwest, or a few other early varietals that were noted, then it is skunk. Not fame or money, just proper naming. You guys seem hung up on things that shouldn't really be considered.

I wonder if the skunk that was growing everywhere up n down east coast is related the pacific Northwest one... I guess the roadkill type was easy to find back then, I know completely unrelated sources from new Hampshire, Vermont, upstate NY, NJ to Virginia NC SC Florida Alabama, ark texas, all had I growing mad, but long gone now.... closest thing I had is shoreline...

This girl aint RKS, and personally, I dont use the term RKS in the first place, but, Im a share her here because she is my skunk plant that has satisfied my skunk cravings since 2009. Shes skunk spray and black pepper in flower, and pure skunk spray after dry and proper cure. These pics are from old grows, I have one in early flower now, always do... Love her.

 

[Hashmasta-Kut]

Looks like it really fucking yields too!

In my coco grows epsom has increased the mouth watering funk of plants
that are a little funky to begin.

The sweet cherry stuff I flower is less sweet and more sour, a good thing.

Using epsom produced slightly more of the available terpenes without adding
anything not connected to the original genetics.

You guys seem hung up on things that shouldn't really be considered.

Excellent observation that sadly will go unnoticed to those who need to understand the concept the most.

lol

I agree with your RKS posts almost word for word HMK,
don't know how you've been lucky enough to miss them but I assure you there is an abundant skunk population in BC !

If all RKS leads back to Sam and Skunk #1, then there were tons of skunk #1 hybrids so there were probably lots of different RKS plants back then. My theory is they all got lost b/c of security concerns. The RKS I had, which was the best herb I've ever had, got lost b/c it stunk so bad. I first had it in 99 and then again in 2003 or 2004. I don't know much about the genetics. The grower supposedly bred it and had some genetics from Cali. I can tell you it was in the mountains of VA and Boone, NC from late 90s to mid 2000s. Pretty sure it was a tiny yielder or they grew tiny clones. Stunk like a dead skunk. I have so many crazy stories about this herb b/c of the smell. lol. Here are a few:

-I once broke up an ounce in my parents house and you could smell it in the street out front. They were gone all day and it still smelled 4 hours later after i broke it up. I was freaking out with candles, spray, opened the windows, all sorts of shit.. worked out finally
-I did a college online test while smoking this herb. Got so high I just zoned out into the TV for a couple of hours. It was fucking awesome
- We took some to hampton phish 99. second night we busted some out in the seats pre-show. like a tiny nug. we smoke and sit. This shit is heavy as fuck couch lock. It also has a head buzz that makes you the dumbest you've ever been. You can't function well. So guy in front of us turns around and offers some boomers for a hit. We say, yea, we'll get you blazed in a minute. (we only have a tiny bit of herb as we're broke as fuck college kids) He ends up bouncing before we smoke hit out. (20 minutes later) I still owe him a bowl and feel bad to this day. We barely had any of the herb as we could never get a lot of it. LOL..The boomers were ridiculous and a pretty killer show before big cypress.

That's the story of my RKS. Strongest shit ever. If I had to guess, Super Skunk or SS x Indica?? Sounds like there was a lot of skunk strains in the VA/NC mountains. Hopefully it's still there.

BTW, Duke Diamond is from VA and knows the skunk as well. He said he's working with old SSSC Skunk seeds, not Skunk VA (Not chemdog, a different person). From what I see it looks like he runs numbers.

anyway, I hope we can all find that RKS again. shit was fuego..peace

In the interior maybe? Not really on the coast, never hit one, seen one, or seen a roadkilled skunk.

Ours had the same stench, many stories over the years about that quality. It was most likely a pure afghani from the research and info I have done and seen.

 

[JetLife175]

If anyone is interested I saw on IG that aficionado seeds says they have obtained a roadkill cutting from a group of "elite French operators" and also a Bx o lf said cutting in seed form. @aficionadoestates for the info.

 

[Limeygreen]

Back around 2003-2004 we had some in bc going around, stunk up the college dorm. The ra's were pretty cool about it, everyone who rolled it in their room got a talking to, they were quite polite and asked us to roll it outside or in their cars. Couldn't help but laugh at them while they told us but our hook up had been told by everyone who bought it even though it was good we couldn't keep it around because it stunk up the entire floor when we rolled it.

Lower mainland I never remembered skunks being there growing up, interior yes I saw some for sure.
