Commercial buds here have always come from Mexico through Texas. Most brick bags here in the 90's were either skunk or what I called tea for lack of a better description. The bags became skunkier and less seedy as the decade went on but the buds were never big or gave the impression of being indoor. Maybe skunk fooled the dogs at first because it was overpowering and they weren't trained for it?

How would it be hard to believe RKS could come from Mexico when you've never tried Mexican weed? TBH I would guess Road Kill Skunk more than likely was bag seed from these good batches of mexi weed grown right and processed correctly. Take a read through the thread, I'm sure without doing so that I am one of many with these memories. As one of the posters above mentioned there was a fair amount of "pretendica". Mexican weed is as good as the genetics started with, skill and almost above all how it is processed! You will always go further with an open mind SkunkyPuffs. 1:ying:
Everybody i talked too that grew it back in the early 90's said it was from Afghanistan. I seen it in late bloom and like i said it didn't grow cone shaped like most buds do, it grew funny looking lime green cactus shaped or elephant ear shaped buds. I am positive it was not from Mexico because Mexican genetics were never mentioned in any conversation i had with American growers. Like i said i grew up spoiled all i had around me was really good weed so if someone ever talked about Mexican weed it was frowned on, like it only gave people headaches and was considered stress.

Thai Afghani and skunk seeds and several others in large amounts were taken to mexico and grown in 70's and 80's on
 
Mexico most definitely exported skunky weed. I had some around '95 that had been brought over @ el paso that was as RKS as it gets. I'm not saying that RKS is mexican genetics, but mexico definitely grew some RKS.

^^Papa PuffnKush... can you pleeez tell us a bed time story about your daddy and the BOEL and Mexico? I'll grab your pipe and slippers :smoke:----Zzzzzzzzz

Im really starting to think that the skunky smell isn't a specific terpene at all but a by product (through heat or oxidation) of a more common one.
 
The rks I have encountered has been Afghani in origin. This year we ran some very old Kandahar x Thai this year that was definitely RKS in profile.
 
I doubt it. Sam's brand is the stories he tells, not actual seeds. We hear a lot of talk that props up brand and business but little to add credibility to the claims. RKS exiss as a flavor profile in the gene pool still. Just don't expect Sam to drop that at your feet in seed for.

I am about to go get a room in Seattle for a few days and go hang out at the blue moon and see if i cant find some old hippie that still has access to that variety, i have this very strange feeling i will score gold if i just get off my ass and go.

I believe RKS exists in OLD GENETICS. Sam has been candid in saying a) I had it, and didn't like it, so I went for a sweet flavor, and b)it was a bust for growers and consumers alike due to the extreme smell, which was once valid concern.

In the climate of legal, medicinal grows like mine however, extreme smell and the associated bust factor are no longer an issue. I'm hoping Friendly, or someone like myself with old bagseed will stumble onto the true Skunk Bud we all remember, and still very much desire.

Me too buddy! Of the 300+ seeds I was gifted, only 15-20 were old Indica/Kush seeds. I have not had the best luck initially getting these seeds to germ, but things are looking a bit better as of late. I got one of those from the old Indica/Kush container that looks like it is coming out of soil today. My brother is also going through these seeds very methodically, and he's sitting on that very stinky little 3 or 4 week old fat leaf Indica out of the Mexican seeds. I have also found an interesting little Mexican plant that is like a chameleon, always changing its look, and slow as hell to come into flowering. It looks to be a hybrid.
