The Roadkill Skunk Fan Club

[Grundy]

i can't put my finger on it exactly they all small different, one is so big now and show sex as female, is already in a pot twice the size of the rest of the RKS, leafs are at 9 to 11 fingers, about the size of dinner plates, i say is sativa if i ever saw one, hollow stem very thick.

the others are very similar, i can't explain the smell though, as they don't smell like god, green crack, kush, blue berry or cheese, actually the closest is the cannacopia male deepchunkolate i have, very thick leafs that are extra dark, odd roundish super short(shortest) leaf fingers that are extremely wide in the middle(hence round shape)
is that what the DC is like? or is that chocolate trip? does anyone know?
anyways the smell has an odd smell like no other its not chocolate in my mind but possibly a spice or incense of sort or lavender or something.. but with a pungent after kick

back the RKS i have on indica that is smaller like the rest of the plants with normal leafs more indica, smells very odd like the sativa's i wouldn't say permanent marker because i don't smell any fuel smells like paint ... but there is no doubt they have the strongest scent, i don't have to scratch to pick up a tomato linger that is strong, when i scratch any of them they are pungently strong - fuming, no longer a sourish tomato but a deep musty smell not unlike skunk cabbage only kinda, the musty stench smells like half organic and half synthetic like a burning tire or something... but mysterious so i can't say if i believe any are the death pheno, maybe the indic a if this death isn't supposed to smell good given the fact a dead animal doesn't smell good i just thought it was the smelliest.. does it actually smell like a dead animal? lol sorry for asking this but, what does a dead animal smell like?

Grundy, The RKS x DC is an amazing outdoor plant other than the mould issues. There are astrigent skunk phenos that are more sativa and smell like permanant markers, there are phenos that are straight deep thick rich skunk smell/taste (DC phenos) and then there is a variation that probably shows itself in 1 or 2 out of 10 times and it is like the DC dom phenos with an added rot/meatyness too it. You can find these phenos by rubbing the stem during veg and smelling it. Should smell like meat lol

hey i forgot to say thanks for the reply also. i did a better smell test.i checked again at all 4 rks, i have 1 male with a nasty smell that i cant compare to anything, other then my male deep chunkolate in a musty way like a mix of skunk with many faint organic scents that are heavy and musty maybe some pine in it. stings the nose type pungent.


now i have 1 larger faster bigger growing female with 11 finger leafs
and has noticably more nicer or recognizable skunk smell, or more like skunk cabbage.


i got another female that germed and maintained fast growth up untill the others started to grow taller and it seems to have much more compact growth with more nodes closer together then the others aswell looks more indica im guessing, but the smell is mostly like very stinky foot oudor but with the semi sweet smell of a stink beattle when its pissed off,
not strongly but enough that it was in my head but i just couldnt get my finger on it at first but like 80% foot oudor or stinky socks with 20% stink beatle. i think this might be a dc dom if the dc pheno is a smaller plant then the skunk phenos because all the others are bigger with more elongation.

so i have these big rks indoors,, how much does it stretch after the 12/12 transition.? are they good for topping? im stoked to try em in a green house the big ones take up allot space quickly.

I miss me some stanky funky skunk...

I'm just finishing RKS x DC from Cannacopia. Its a good strain. It had a healthy amount of trichomes, turned purple, had a good yield and structure, and smelled strongly. It does not smell like skunk at all though. It seems that trainwreck was mixed in because every plant smells like trainwreck just more astringent. Every once in a while you'll catch a rotting garbage smell that is not pleasant, but its not overwhelming either.

How many phenos did you run?

My Nr Nice Afghan x Skunk x NL x Haze just came in and gets my roadkill skunk smell award. It's been a while since I've smelled a plant this skunky, and my dog was skunked twice last year so I'm up to date on authentic skunk odors.

sorry if this has been asked before, but has anyone tried the the rks from reserva privada or from canna venture seeds. and then there is a cut floating around here marked as rks... i know that cut and the canna venture seed version are both skunk#! x afghani. this seems to be a theme with rks strains. ive said it beofre and ill say it again the original super skunk from sensi seeds i used to get in the mid 90's was a real rks and again its skunk #1 x afghani. i can still recal that SS, rks smell and taste to this day and i want that strain back! i havent had much luck finding a real rks... i have plenty of stinkers but not rks.

seems like it would be an easy enough breeding project, just keep picking the stinkiest most resinous plants and eventually youll get a rks. im working on securing the best afghani i can find to do just that. instead of a skunk #! which by this point are no longer skunky but more fruity and use either exodus cheese, or a choice stinkiest og/chem plant i have and working that line with the afghan's. any other suggestions on what a good mother plant will be? the initial cross, im going to use a dank afghani male. on that note does anyone have a line on true afghani seeds? i may goe with a master kush male just because i really love master kush, at least the pheno i have. also im thinking about bringing socal master kush into the project and also mr nice. i feel the addition of theese genetics will prove worth while in this project. i want to create the stinkiest headiest rks around. any opinions or ideas are much appreciated.

How many phenos did you run?

I had 7 females. I reversed some of the males and they also smelled like trainwreck. Its fire though. No complaints here. Still looking for the skunk though. Next is their Chunky cheese and Jordan of the islands (Northern BC skunk). One pheno of RKS x DC is an insane yielder but I'm having mold issues with it. It might benefit to be crossed with a good sativa. I definitely get the marker-like smell you mentioned.

Like I said there are mould issuses within the strain, I really ove the DC x RKS but the F2 gen was very different from the F1 probably due to the fact that I used my least desirable parents. They were the permanent marker/astringent skunk/cleaner phenos. Check my albums for RKS x PCK, pretty nice stuff and unworldly crystallization for outdoor.

I would definitely try the Northern BC skunk from JOTI If I were you.

 

[browntrout]

PCK x RKS f2 - Strong Coffee/lime/marker smell

RKS f2

RKS x DC a few seasons back

And the strongest most in your face fresh skunk smell/taste I have seen/grown. Grown under florescent. Local Clone Only.

I've got a question: What is a stabilized recessive ? I bought these Cantaloupe Skunk seeds from a place in Canada, a few years ago, because they were advertised as the opposite of RKS. I live in a apt bldg with noisy neighbors, non med state. So it had to be that way. I've gotten seeds a couple times since then from another place in England and 1 or 2 out of every 10 seems to be pretty loud, and I mean while they are still in veg. Unfortunately, I have to cull those because I can't afford to have anyone smell me. They say this Skunk comes from a line before Sam's. If I made f-2's of these would the recessive (low odor) remain, or would it be lost ? I'd like to seed one and save some seed money, and ensure I had some backups for the clones I'm running of her now. But not if it meant more would revert back to that loud odor, which I can't have. Any input appreciated ?

If this is from Insane Seed Posse, from the Hemp Depot description, it sounds like it is more of a long term inbred line than an F1. Since the description says they have been selecting it for over 30 years, you probably have a good chance that that the low odor characteristic would be present when you cross the strain to itself.

 

[Kygiacomo!!!]

has anyone here tried the rotten panda from Ace? i been on a misson to find the old 1995 skunk that use to float around in my area and i have yet to find one that has that smell and flavor that will finish in a guerilla setting with no to little mold? the ones i have tried super skunk,skunk#1 shriva skunk all rot down..the rotton panda says it is for skunk lovers and has outdoor resistance so im hoping this will be the one..im also trying early skunk this year as well..i havent tried Reserva privada Rks yet maybe next year i will give it a run

 

[OneStonedPony]

Thanks @onavelzy that was actually what I was hoping for. I'm going to crack somemore, and seed at least one clone with the first male I get.

 

[relic1981]

N ot having much luck with finding rks true phenos and strains so I'm breeding what I hop to be just like the rks super skunk of the early, mid ninties. I'm crossing the skunkiest strains I have with a pure Afghanistan that carries that funky skunk smell and taste. The original rks genetics arenskunkno 1 x Afghanistan aka super skunk. So many phenos to search through so its taking a while, like a good breeding project should, . Any breeders out there with suggestions feel free to input your ideas. I know my stuff but I'm not ignorant enough to think others can't know more and can help out with knowledge. Maybe their is a rks strain out there I can bx m y crosses with or add it to the gene pool. If I can get permission I would like to use reserva prevadas rks in there somewhere. My only concern is that they have. The swrealleet gene in there and I am really trying to avoid sweetness. I want funky skunk, grlicy, pine ,earthy tones and notes. More acrid than sweet. I have some f1s that look and smell promising. A fellow breeder just hooked me up with some beans that are all Pakistani chitral kush crosses including an urkle xpck and urkle x super skunk as well as a bunch of others. I'm thinking if I can find a good male in the urkle xpck I may use that in a another rks project. The affie I really want is something like socal master kush, or la og affie. I am a huge chem/of /diesel fan and some of the cuts I hold are in themselves really skunk, with lots and lots of flavor, so I may try a chem/of x to make a rks. Maybe 91 chem or lemon Larry og or my old school of cut, over 20 years old. My favorite of cut. So stinky, even in veg it reeks.

this is my favorite smoke ever the early to mid 90s..i think right around 92-96 was when the skunk was all over here..we use to call it red hair skunk. it had the most beautiful orange/brown hairs in the buds and a lime green color that was dipped in sugar..does the RKS from DNA hold true to that description?

 

[Sam_Skunkman]

Hey Elmer

Well as far as myself and many others believe it was Mendo Joe and the Sacred Seed Collective that we're the REAL creators behind the legend that is known as Skunk#1.


The connection between Joe and RKS is that the RKS was from the SK#1 line which was then bred out when that suit case filled with seeds landed on the Dutch scene.

Sometimes I like to read this thread for a laugh.
Sacred Seeds was not a collective, I made up the name Sacred Seeds and never had a single partner, not one, ever. I did all the breeding for Sacred Seeds except I did get a few varieties from friends that let me run with their work. I just reproduced them, with the breeders Ok. I never met any Mendo Joe and I got nothing from him. The same with Sandy Wienstein, I never met him and he had nothing to do with Sacred Seeds or me. People are free to believe anything they want but it does not make it true. I had friends that grew my seeds I gave them and they let me pollinate a branch on any plant I selected. They had zero to do with my breeding. I did all the pollen work and had the only males as growers did not want them around. Friends growing my free seeds allowed me to grow many more plants for selections for breeding.
Also no Thai in Skunk #1, never was.

[Sam_Skunkman]

Sorry could you please clarify why this was edited.

A - That Neville disputes that you created Skunk#1 based on conversations he had with you when he purchased it "that it just occurred in a grow of someone you knew randomly and was propogated from there.

So believe Nevil if you want, but it is not true. he did not purchased Skunk #1 he did buy some seeds, then knocked them off..

B - That Mel Frank disputes many of your strain creation stories in his youtube video on pot tv. Noteworthy that you have since changed your story on both the creation of Durban and Afghani#1.

No I did not. I just saw Mel in Calif and we get along great.
I always said that Durban for example I got from Mel via Ed who got seeds of it in an Amsterdam Coffee shop. I worked Durban for years to remove the intersex from the population, the first crop all the plants were intersex, and it was un-useable without breeding. A1 I got from Mel. Calif Orange seeds I got from a grower friend who gave it to me to run with. A few other I got from others like I always said.

C - The link to Steve Hager's blog where he calls into question your story of where skunk#1 came from.. he says you told him when you first met you told him it was just a popular strain in Cali harvest festivals.

Yes that is true that I grew and entered in in the contests and won several with my Skunk #1, I never said it was just a popular strain, ask RCC he was there when Steve and I talked.

D - Where in Steve Hager's blog he says he would not be surprised that you were a "spook"

Give me a break, if I am a spook and have worked daily with Rob Clarke for the last 30 years and have known him even longer, and he say that is impossible, you want to believe Steve? Sad.....
I am not a spook, I have fought to bring industrial hemp Cannabis, Medical Cannabis, and recreational Cannabis into mainstream culture I have done more then most to help this happen, and I am a spook or cop or snitch? Where is the person that says I did anything to harm them? Except for Nevil who says I was helping the pigs, (I did not) but he does not say I did anything that actually ever harmed him, or caused legal problems, as I did not. He was just trying to start a medical Cannabis company with Mario Lapp and they attacked me as his established competition and because he knocked off all my varieties after promising me he would not, and because the Govt here refused to license his work.

Somewhere around here I am sure I have copy of an old non-cannabis magazine interviewing an old Sierre Nevada mountain range Skunk #1 breeder that made tonnes of cash breeding and selling skunk #1 in the eighties but found Jesus and started sending all his funds to religious charities and later got out of the game to pursue Jesus full time. Sound like anyone you might know?

No idea, seeds were sold via friends to friends to other friends, I never met most Skunk #1 growers, maybe but I doubt it.

[Sam_Skunkman]

hey Elmer, yeah Neville never made much of a secret about it. I included that portion more for the part insinuating that the hundreds of thousands of seeds Sam brought over were sold directly through the Seed Bank followed later by dutch progeny made from these by Nevil. Another hole in Sam's RKS story imo as where did all the RKS genes disappear to out of all these seeds? Makes you wonder if the rks genes ever existed in the sk#1 lines that Sam had or maybe they stayed with someone else that played a role in creating it?

WTF? Nevil only bought a few thousand Skunk #1 seeds, then he made his own. I grew tens of thousands just for clone selections.

Read the posts by Mt Nectar he grew my original Skunk #1 very close by where I made them, in Freedom Calif, back when I made them, he can tell you as you do not seem to believe me? Also no one helped me make Skunk #1.

All I know is that Sam and RCC seem to have made it their primary agenda to widely disperse sk#1 into the western gene pool then spend and immense amount of time laying the groundwork to prove Sam's propriety of sk#1.. Anyone remember 95 Cannabis Cup when RCC did a whole presentation showing how sk#1 was incorporated into pretty much every seed companies strains?? Seemed such an innocent presentation at the time...

Are you joking, our primary agenda???? Rob is an academic and a writer, and I am a researcher and businessman, we are both serious Cannabis aficionados.

Wow you like to imagine conspiracies that do not exist, RCC did not sell seeds, Sacred Seeds was me, maybe Rob sold a few to friends.
Robs 95 HT presentation was to inform people how small the western drug gene base was and to advise them to use other landraces before they are gone. Even if Skunk #1 was in every variety of Cannabis in America today it would not help me in any way, I do not need to prove anything, and while I want to keep the name, I have no propriety interest in any hybrid made with Skunk #1 unless the other parent was my creation also. The reason Skunk #1 was used so much is because it was maybe the first every where, was true breeding, and people liked the hybrids. I have zero problem with people using Skunk #1 to make hybrids with their varieties, that is one of the reasons I made it.
