"Roadkill" Skunk

[BerryManilow]

This branch was taken early to test it and sample it. Haven't tested it yet but have sampled it already.

The strong skunk smell is present after the cure when you smell the buds. If you touch it, you will smell it on your fingers for what seems like hours. Extremely potent, thick heavy smoke, absolutely reeks up the room.


Genetics: "Roadkill" Skunk (unknown lineage)

Breeder: ?

Overall: 9.9 / 10 (long flowering is the only downside)

Bag Appeal: 9.5/10 Dark green sticky old school flowers

Odor: 12/10 Smells like nasty, rotting roadkill skunk!! Some very skunky, jet fuel flower, haven't smelled this in about 20 years!

Taste: 10/10 Glass bowl tastes like nasty roadkill skunk spray and fuel! You can taste it on the paper when rolling a joint. The taste is extremely powerful in a joint, stinky, skunky flavor and thick, heavy smoke. Each hit gets more & more skunky!!!

Potency: 10/10 Every hit is super strong and straight to the head. Feels almost hallucinogenic! This flower is still early so very heady.

Duration: 10/10 -2-2.5hours. Extremely Intense and an hour feels like 20 mins.

The smell from the stem/ leaf rubs that I first started smelling is almost identical to the finished buds. I've been pretty confident this was a real skunk the whole time, just from that smell. The smells throughout the grow are skunky and funky. Sometimes I catch a dead animal smell, sometimes it smells like literal shit, and mixed in was this crazy pine skunk stank. But there is always that lingering skunk smell through flowering.

It smells and tastes exactly like the "Skunk Bud" from the late 80s/early 90s that I remember. I don't think it smells as strong as the Super Skunk when growing but I don't know for sure. These 2 skunks growing together, with just a couple of decent sized plants, stunk out the whole area!

It's a different skunk than the Skunk 1 that's in Super Skunk. My best guess is an Afghan Skunk/Landrace/IBL, but I have no clue of the lineage. I can't say for sure that this is the true RKS, but I absolutely would consider this a real roadkill skunk!

The buds look lovely

Great results, I couldn't tell you if it is some authentic roadkill skunk as I've never had this specific smell in my grows in Europe but the shape of the buds looks very familiar, I'd really like to smell those flowers to be sure we don't describe the same differently but the way you insist on the nastiness makes me think it is something I would not like.It's funny how we all process differently the smells/odors and the preferences it creates because what you describe don't look very attractive to me.

I shared these in my other thread so I'll post them here also.

Sent samples to some people across the country, shared it locally, and gave it to a bunch of big name brands at a cannabis event. Everybody has loved it and said it's a legit skunk. This pheno is more on the dead skunk smell/taste side as opposed to just skunk spray, but everybody who has tried it will agree it's very skunky.

This is from a smoke report on another forum:

"Now moving on to the "Roadkill Skunk" aka "The Abomination"... Now this one is definitely on another level and I'm most excited about this one. I’ve been puffing it out of a pipe and last night at band practice we rolled a fat joint and passed it around. Everyone in my Reggae band (all veteran smokers) loved the smell and high.

It’s very potent smelling herb and it has a fierce nasty funk to it. Kinda hard to explain the smell but I guess the best way to describe is it’s kinda like a Skunky death/decay smell. It’s hard to say for sure if this is definitively the RKS that everyone is searching for because each persons sense of smell and opinion and memory is different. But what I can tell you is the terpenes on "The Abomination" are LOUD and HOT. It’s better than 99% of everything else I’ve tried within recent years. It tastes great too when you exhale it kinda has a nice “earthy green forrest” style of taste. Which is funny cuz it smells “wicked nasty” but tastes surprisingly pleasant. "

When is the seed release

Another smoke report dropped on another forum:

"I thought your Roadkill was very much the real deal. My first impression was finally someone found it. I shared it with my band & my riding bunch. Everyone asked me to get them some. (LOL)"

Also shared genetics with a small number of people and this was one of the responses:

90s (Super) Skunk

I've been doing some digging for the "roadkill" skunk and I was able to come across some very rare finds. I was just asking everybody for seeds or clones of their skunk from around here (northeast) and as I was talking to somebody about it, I got a notification. Turns out, my friends (who own a...

In the past week I've heard everything from fire to rubber to gasoline described as skunky. I don't think anyone can actually tell what they are smelling and oddly enough everyone seems content on pretending.

Too bad there's no money in nose rental.

Sussing That “Skunky” Smell

Uncovering the “skunky” smell of cannabis using GC-MS

thecannabisscientist.com

Gassy,” “fuel-like,” “pungent…” There are many ways to describe the “skunk-like” odor of cannabis. But where exactly does that stench come from? It’s true that terpenes contribute many of cannabis’ aromas, but these are mostly the citrus and floral notes. That unique (and polarizing) “skunky” smell has been harder to pinpoint – until now.

Well, we wanted to answer a specific question – one that many folks in the industry had wondered: “What chemicals give cannabis its skunky, gassy, pungent scent?” Until our paper was published, this question was unanswered. Although much research has been focused on terpenes, none of them were known to contribute this specific scent. The fact that we discovered an entirely new family of compounds in cannabis was a pleasant surprise. And because many appear to be unique to cannabis, we are referring to this new class as “cannasulfur compounds (CSCs).”

Rotting animal carcass, animal musk, garlic/sulfur, skunk spray... IMO.

Agreed. We've been calling this pheno "the abomination" because it's really that nasty.

This one fits the bill of RKS in every way and it's why people keep saying it's real.

Stinks through your pocket, smells like skunk from far away, tastes like skunk. It's a heavier "5 day old dead skunk, death, decay, rotting carcass" type pheno, not just skunk spray.
