Road Kill Skunk (Blueskiesvienna)
- Thread starter Golden Tree
- Start date
Interesting I had a conversation with Sam more than a decade ago about RKS and he said it would be found in Skunk-1 and Afghani lines, I remember the RKS very well and I don't really think the strain we had on the west coast of Canada was a "skunk" it was lime green hybrid like a plant that was going out as I was learning to grow indoors because it was getting cats caged, It was a rougher smoke, not something I can say was really great it was not bad either but UBC chemo and Hawaiian Indica and NL were nicer to smoke were as strong or stronger and you could kinda sorta mask them a bit on a good day, we didn't have Carbon filters or even ozone generators easily available at that time end of the 80's early 90's . I did see and hear of the old-school RKS we didn't really call it that it was just the fucking stinky green skunk. You know many seeds were imported in weed along the west coast between 1974-1978 Guys were actually importing flowers from Pakitan possibly Afghanistan but I know for sure Pakistan, It was called Monkey tails and Donky dicks it was imported with Loads of Hash I was told not only into western Canada but into the western USA also . Some who just are not in the know have said seeds were picked out of hash bricks haha no loads of weed were sent with hash for a 4-5 year period until the Russian invasion of Afghanistan, There is a bigger back story I will not get into here but many of the "hash Plant " strains in BC came from the loads including King Pinks mom, Jiffy Pot aka Purple indica God buds mother and many other hash plants .The interview was interesting Where SamS talks about the breeding of the skunk, Guess it was OHaze x his friends Affie, he said all his first skunks were very RKS
so bad you could smell the greenhouse 1/4 mile away
actually he said 3 different lumbo strains merged together im gonna have to listen to it a few more times
You think you could get to RKS from O Haze crossed to Afghani #1 ? Straight up a quick haze x garlic bud, would do well like nl5 x haze turned out nice thats the A5
@Hammerhead what did you think of the OHaze and THH ?
Sam was talking about that too in the interview
Mtn. Nectar No ceiling on the haze and good skunk you just get higher and higher untilit kicks your ass
I personally know guys who imported some of the loads, I think its possible that like King and jiffy pot the Green Skunk was imported in loads of flowers, I was told many varieties were showing up, it started the real culture on Vancouver Island as the seeds were some of the first that would come close to growing in the short season .
Its an interesting topic I personally think the strain is gone I have hit pheno that I could not lock down consistently enough to be assured customers would get what i was offering so I dropped them if I find something close I will run with it but anyone who remembers the real deal knows it was a very precise terpene profile
Only the people that grew and smoked rks (this excludes the guy that started this thread who never did either) know that the seeds and calyxs were 4x bigger then anything else around in those days.
There was also alot of Skunk weed around in those days too before it put a whole generation of growers in jail. Amateurs who never grew or smoked rks conflate road-kill with skunk weed. They are the same. Becuase they are skunky. They were different. Becuase they were different lines.
I just crossed the original tuna clone with my 81 rks (seed bracts pictured) my whole 10 acre property smelled like a corpse rotting on the hwy 3 weeks to harvest. Wind or no wind....the road kill "pink" was in there too (lanky skunk pheno)
It's a shame I got the 90s sunshine coast hashplant too late in the season to do anything with her. She will get a splash next summer.

after using some of the Terpene boosters which are actually real terpenes i.e. feeding tyerpenes to your plants....
Has anyone tried feeding VSC's to finish plants gthat already have VSC's?

I just wanna throw my .02cents in... I remember rks best shit I ever smoked and it's still out there being grown, it's held just as tight now then it was in the past but old time growers more now than ever just like any other strain won't resurface until we have full legalization maybe not even then... I know its being grown because an old timer on my Instagram account is growing it!! I asked if it would ever see the light of day but he hasn't responded yet...

Great strain, very chemical and punget very intense, a little spice , a little undescriptible, if you go with one bud of this in the street smell 20m arround, its very stankiest
I've grown and bred with it. I like the hybrids more to smoke. Otherwise the jar of ASS is usually the last one I grab to smoke. Low potency sorta blah effect for a heavy smoker. Very loud skunky bud though.

I use a trick he taught us years ago. I bought a copy of Dr Dre's the chronic and any time I think I have RKS I hold the CD up to the fan leaf and compare. Master breeding tech.You gotta hit up Medman to get that real skunk
I'm surprised the ASS is not a great smoke, is it the same cut than Hammerhead you've grown?
I get those massive caylxs and seeds, but my skunk never fills the air, its always subtle.
Its a skunk alright, I only got RKS after reveg, and I sadly lost my mother, but she was outbred quite a bit. I love skunk one, and If you're a fan, this is the best skunk one I've had, it glazes your eyes, and puts you into that little state alot of og's do, but not as overwhelming. I took the males to pulag feral, and russtucky. The cross with russtucky had one out of five that had that old skunk funk, but it wasn't RKS, and the pulag has just thrown her first pistils. If i was going to buy weed, I'd buy todd's skunk 1 over runtz, very pleasant very reminiscent of the weed i used to buy as "high grade".Thats what Todd's website says, Mel Frank has earned alot of respect in the community. I have no knowledge of any of Todds gear cant make myself buy into it for some reason
If anyone has pictures of Todds gear id like to see em and would be open to hearing the reports, I guess its worth 100$/ pack to find out ?
5/45$ 13/100$
from ag seed
Original Skunk No.1
Regular Seeds
(Afghan x Colombian) x Acapulco Gold
8 to 10 Weeks Flowering Time
THESE SKUNK #1 SEEDS HAVE ONLY BEEN REPRODUCED TWICE SINCE 1988!
In 1988 Mel Frank begot Skunk No.1 seeds from Skunkman Sam, put them into the the refrigerator until 1996 when he reproduced them 8 years later.
Then Mel Frank properly stored them for another 24 years until 2020, when they were grown and selected by Todd for the more acrid terpene phenotypes.
This is the legendary Skunk #1, developed by Skunkman Sam in the 1970's and is a relatively stabilized, true breeding hybrid.
Originally offered by Sacred Seeds and Cultivators Choice, it is a combination of:
(Afghan x Colombian Gold) x Acapulco Gold
Sacred Seeds/Cultivators Choice
Hand Selected with Love
"What you seed is what you get!"
(Afghan x Colombian Gold) x Acapulco Gold
(25% x 25%) x 50%
maybe someone here can do the genetics math on the gene swamping ?
not counting selection....if it was a F1 hybrid...
I might go this far for a tester.... 5/45$
with each reproduction your likely gene swamping out the affie rks traits you want... id S1 your keeper moms and hold cuts
been sitting on exodus x sams 20+ year old skunk cut
but yeah '88 skunk would be a line to search for sure

So my "Roadkill" Skunk clone I picked up a few months back is in mid flower, as well as my Super Skunk that I picked up around the same time. The "roadkill" is a 40 yr old clone, and the SS is Nevil's line [Afghan (T) x Skunk1] which has been held for 25-30 years.
The finished flower and smoke report are the end all be all, but I will say this:
The whole place absolutely reeks. I'm running a sealed room with 1600ppm CO2, and I have to turn off the CO2 and turn on the exhaust fans a few times a day to get the stink out. The smell is seeping through the walls already. You can smell it outside, probably a good 100ft away. Even when it's sent out through the filters you can still pick up the smell outside.
There's no doubt one or both of these are real skunk bud.
