The Roadkill Skunk Fan Club

[Hrpuffnkush]

Skunk 1 has no road kill skunk in it period! The real road kill was a pure or close to pure indica compact and fat leaves that stunk of putrid skunk from the first set of true leaves! The old heads from the west coast of the USA will tell you the same thing not a bi of sweet in it only raw stinky skunk. 1/4 of a hit blew your lungs to shit and you really didn't need another hit extremely potent and buds so tight you couldn't squeeze them tighter golf ball buds lime green, beautiful shit.

I agree with ya , original sk1 I've grown has a fait skunk tone , with hints of citrus and alcapulco/Colombian tones to it ,

Skunk seeds I've grown were earley 80's / late 70's seeds , maybe since cannabis wasnt skunky in old days people just didn't know differences in SK and rks back then.... Most old timers 60+ think that most of today's strains smell skunky , even more so then back in the day.........

Ok why would you breed out superior traits? Just doesn't make sense, look at all the og's on the market today, they have been outcrossed etc and most of them still at leas resemble the orig. you can tell they are related in other words. Sk1 was never road kill!

Lol this is funny. They kinda sorta resemble the original . But there a tenth of what they were .

 

[cr0n]

ctg, sam has been over this a thousand times. He doesn't like the roadkill version, bred it to be sweet.

How can you possibly argue with the guy that invented skunk 1. It's crazy...

 

[ctg]

Invented skunk? Wow now I've heard it all!! Lol

 

[ctg]

It couldn't have possibly come from country of origin with that non sweet stinky ass smell or killer flavor and incredible mind melting high! Lemmings will indeed follow the leader over the edge of the cliff!! Lol

 

[BlackBuds]

So many people grew skunk in the 80s it's unbelievable. Including me. SK1 is not the same but possibly related to what was everywhere in 80-83

 

[Sam_Skunkman]

I agree, you have heard it all?

I agree, whatever you meant?

So is you the lemmings or do they follow you? I agree..

Did you ever buy and grow a pre-85 Sacred Seeds Skunk #1 in a package?
Or talk to anyone that has? That is what you need to do. Find someone I have never met, like Mad Jag, or Mtn. Nectar and ask them what Skunk #1 was like that they bought from Sacred Seeds pre-85 they still have the paks the seeds came in.... Maybe then you will agree?

well i have a skunk thats pre 85.. whats your question.. lol

ah is it related to the modern day skunk 1?

it smells like a lot of things.. from acetone to meat to fruit.. but mostly just like hashy skunk dankness with a tropical background..
it makes the room smell like the jar when you smoke it
very aromatic
high is just OK till its cured.. then its amazing
@sam didn't different people work the skunk each year with sacred? do you have an idea of what they did with it? ik my skunk cut is from seeds around 82-83..

 

[TwoOne6Strong]

I grew rks from reserva privada..smelled sweet no potency tho

Sacred Seeds was me, no other breeder helped me, a few friends did give me their seeds and varieties to run with, but they did not work with me, no one did, it is all made up stories and lies. Rob was a close friend we did not breed together on the same plants until after 85. Do you know how many times I have told this to people? It is real boring to answer the same questions that have no basis in facts, Sacred Seeds only had one breeder, me. Sacred Seeds was me traveling, collecting, growing, breeding, and sharing seeds that I found, or I made, or liked enough to reproduce them. This was 40 years ago.....

I trust on you sam !

Lemmings, classic. I do not know Sam or follow his online persona like a lemming as you describe. I believe it is well known in our industry that he bred skunk 1. It has been well documented here on IC that he bred away from the rks. I guess I will acknowledge that it is possible that the plant you know as rks came from a different source. Given the known history, it does seem unlikely, but who knows.

I'm surprised that Sam keeps replying to this thread. This isn't the first time he has had this conversation.

Sam bred sk1 ok, but the road kill I had in the early 80s was totally diff! If someone had that road kill it would be at the top of every cup now days second place wouldn't even come anywhere close! itbwas hands down some of the best cannabis I have ever seen along with the Colombian golds of old, the real deal mtf Maui. And kuai electric.. As I sai before the sk1 isn't the same as roadkill sk, it may have a distant relative but so does all cannabis!

RKS was growing in Kansas in 78.

 

[Jim Rockford]

Hat's off to Sam the Skunkman. Breeding the stinky years before we had this public internet, thanks man!

 

[J-Icky]

After reading this I trly believe someone could have an original RKS plant, had it since it all started, it smell the same, smoke the same, with the same high and even had it genetically tested every year to make sure there was no genetic drift and that person could give that bud to someone here and they would STILL say it isn't the real RKS.

The smell, well that could be your brain working against you. Its like if you walk into a house full of cats and get hit with that rank smell of cat piss. The first so many times you walk in it will smell horrible. But after a while your brain will prep for it so it won't be as shocking when you walk in. So it could be the exact same smell, same intesity, same rankness but you would walk in and say it not nearly as bad as it was the first time you walked in. Its the same reason why smokers don't smell that stale smoke smell, why the cat lady doesn't notice the cat piss smell, and why all smells seem to go away even if the source is still there.

Nah bro, it was like you were having lunch with a skunk. At the time nobody knew Sam the skunk man but everybody knew what skunk bud was. It was that name for a reason. As soon as you smelled the old RKS you got semi stupid because the smell and brain activity was working exactly the same as a smelling a fucking skunk that sprayed the neighborhood. Catpiss is like ammonia. Period.

I missed out on the Bodhi Chem 91 x RKS. I am hoping to get my hands on the BC Roadkill x Chemdog BX from Chimera.

Some good old RKS funkyness might be in my future yet.

 

[GingaBred]

I know a guy in the Midwest that still holds his "A Bud" cut, which is a PUTRID hot humid summer day RKS phenotype found in pre 85 Sacred Seeds Skunk #1. It's going to take a lot of persuasion to get that old timer to pass it around though. I've had the pleasure of growing out crosses of the Abud, but still can't get him to come off of a cut. Hell...I've known him for twenty years now and he's basically been my damn mentor.I know he's passed it to very few close friends he grew up with. Just won't pass it any other way and neither will they.

A Bud x Durban Poison F2s had some very potent and pungent skunk phenos, but none were straight up ROADKILL. The most potent phenotype was this straight kerosene funk.

So if you come across "A Bud" and it looks like it might be the plant you're looking for, you might want to give it a run. I'm going to keep hunting through the crosses trying to find my own RKS phenotype to pass around, unless I finally manage to convince him to give me a cut...

In post #2019, Sam talked of receiving and then breeding of Durban Poison and this made me think about something I had read years ago in one of Mel Franks books.
In a 88 copy of Insiders guide, Mel talks about an 'unnamed breeder who developed Durban Poison in California in the 70s'.
He goes on to say that the breeder had two primary concerns-high potency and early flowering and he succeed wonderfully with both goals.
I'm pretty sure the unnamed breeder is Sam.
Its also interesting that Mel state's that ' This DP strain has broad leaf blades almost like an Afghani but long internodes like sativa ', maybe this is why some people think that DP that is offered today has been hybridized?
Mel also says' that only two out of 16 female plants from this variety, were worthwhile for breeding'.
Pretty much confirms what Sam said about clearing up the intersex in DP.
Sorry to be a bit off topic but I just find it funny when peeps try to say Sam was not
responsible for the breeding he most cercertainly did.
As for the 'Mendo Joe' story, that is just ridiculous, probably made up by some fantasist on the internet and if the insane seed posse believe it, well they are plain insane, lol.
We should be thanking Sam not doubting him.

Thanks Sam.

Just something of interest concerning Road Kill skunk and DP, We has access to rks from a grower in honeybrook PA back in the day, when a friend received a package post maked from lancaster pa it was DP seeds he had ordered through Nevil's seedbank in 1990, (It was because the nl#5 was not available, so this was the substitute seeds), the small plant he grew outdoors and was only a ft tall the next year 91, smelled almost exactly like the RKS we had at the time. The look of the bud was very similar if not exact. The smell, indica structure, orange red hairs even the color of the bud. Funny because the two areas are from the same geographic place. Both are next to each other. Could the source of the seeds have been from the same grower? We always wondered. The RKS was the indica looking skunk smelling, (the first whiff, when you drive, before you see it smell) in an elevator the smell would go through you pants and was the dead giveaway skunk.
Donkey dick sized buds, 4 ft high, 8 foot wide bushes. The most remarkable aspect was the plate leaf on the buds, completely covered in frost and anyone who had never seen indica before this knew immediately this was not your regular green from mexico. It was also not sweet and did not resemble the sk#1 from the dam. Have to say it had to much plate leaf to be considered anything but an indica in looks and structure of the flower. Agree that it would still be some of the best pot even today with all elite strains.
