The Roadkill Skunk Fan Club

[StankyBeamer]

Didn't Sam, himself, say that there was zero Afghan in SK#1?

MSS = SK#1 x Afghan... if I recall correctly.

Shit... I could be wrong in my assumptions but I think I read Sams words correctly.

Sk#1 is Columbian gold x Afghan x aculpolco gold. Super skunk (mss is just a selected pheno of sensi's super skunk) is hit back to the Afghan because that was the stinkier more potent of the parents (potent for resin, not effect) from what I have read. Dont know anything for a fact, but I've got a pretty clear picture painted in my head from all of Sams postings and literature that I've spent hours reading, and I knew some peeps from amherst with the mss cut

Which terps are suspected to carry that roadkill scent?

 

[bushweed]

Skunk #1 from Sam has always been a medium-low potency sweet smelling strain.

Have to correct this one before other newbs take it on as gospel. Research Madjag's Arizona thread and you'll find a description of how he took a sample of his Skunk#1 from Sam and Rob to the big Apple in 1980 and it was so strong the Rastas freaked the fuck out thinking it was laced...

I mean in terms of thc%. The effect was strong. Then the Dutch selections ruined it, and the strain is nowhere near what it was when Sam made it. But skunk #1 rarely tests over 12%, my sk#1xNl#5 hits 15% in a room that everything else is above 20%.

Low potency ,, sweet smelling ,,

doesnt sound like what i had at all ,
outrageous terps like that dont equal sweet smelling/low potency ...

Thats what i am talking about. Kind of confirms we had an early cut from Sams work; the one we got in 1980 from cali was that strong too. Everyone who tried it was blown away.

Which terps are suspected to carry that roadkill scent?

if my google-foo is as strong as i think it is..



β-Mercaptoethanol Is an extremely strong and persistent aroma that has all the basic rotten-egg sulfur-stink notes. It is an extremely intestinal and skunk-like odor.

Mercaptoacetic Acid has an ugly, sharp, acrid, skunk smell with plenty of endurance.

Butyl Mercaptan has an extremely strong, fetid, extremely foul-smelling odor, commonly described as "skunk" odor. It is structurally similar to several major components of a skunk's defensive spray but is not present in the spray itself. The scent of butyl mercaptan is so strong that the human nose can easily detect it in the air at concentrations as low as 10 parts per billion. Used as a flavor additive, it has a sulfureous, vegetative, savory meaty, garlic and onion taste.

Ethyl Mercaptan has a high strength, sulfurous, skunky odor with a slight fruity note.


Methyl Mercaptan has an extremely strong, sulfurous, decomposing cabbage, skunky aroma. It is used in flavorings and is described as sulfurous, alliaceous and creamy with a surface-ripened cheese topnote and a clean savory meaty depth.



Furfuryl Mercaptan has a very strong, oily, fatty, roasted coffee, sulfurous skunky odor with a burnt match note. Used in flavorings, it is described as a sulfurous, roasted coffee, burnt match-like, rubbery, and slightly nutty flavor with eggy and savory meaty nuances.


Thenyl Mercaptan has a high strength, roast coffee, fishy aroma. It is used as a flavoring agent where it has the flavor of coffee.

The spray of skunks consists mainly of low-molecular-weight Mercaptan thiols and their derivatives.

That's what I found in Seafour's thread on terps too.
I noticed that there were several skunk references but the dead skunk smell I cannot find.

The closest was rotten cabbage.

The reason I even asked is because I have garlic, onions and meat together in one plant. I just can't say dead. But maybe I just gotta dial it in better.

 

[Tripsick]

Non are compared to Rubber.. and i think Burnt Rubber is Pure skunk.. When the Dogs would run inside after being sprayed by a skunk and everyone's eyes are watering and gasping for breath Rubber is the smell i am Remembering of Fresh unadulterated Skunk Essence.

Then again i assume everyones nose is a little different to a degree.. I love Tequila and i find most reviews match what i taste.

 

[weedaholic721]

Shiskaboy, In my experience, the smell of a dead skunk is dominated by its spray that's been released upon decomposition..its very strong smelling and in good days can be smelled a mile away. It covers the rotting animal smell. Never had RKS , but have seen plenty of real skunks as roadkill.

so to clear things up, the outdoor samples i brought to the emerald cup were hybrids of the rks mother line not the pure. mostly hippy slayer, and the adsi guys got a bud of skunk 91.. hippy slayer is more of a garlic, onions, BO meat smell and the skunk 91 is a meaty cheetos old spice pirate sweat kind of smell. both skunky killers, but not totally rks of legend, mostly by morphology, as these are hybrids and have their own unique spectrum of deep funk. the mother line (sterling skunk) is an old 80’s skunky indica from nor cal brought back east and grown for 16 generations. in acclimatizing to its new environment and subsequent selection for quick maturation and mold resistance, in a guerrilla grow situation for a decade and a half, it seems she lost some of her olfactory mojo. the funk is still in there, and with some line breeding i believe the traits can be coaxed out. you can see them manifest in the hybrids. it carries that skunky pungency that moves beyond the confines of stoner containment technologies, fowling pants pockets, back packs, and automobiles with a thick terpene vapor. hippy slayer and skunk91 are the closest to rks I’ve come across these days. hippy slayer will pass its stank and potency into hybrids, so as the clone becomes more available im sure people will be creative with it, the right combo could be a modern substitute for what we seek. searching for an old school lime green puff ball of insane potency and the scent of death is where things get slim. theres more chance of people creating there own rks lines from available clone/seedstock, from landrace and vintage lines. i would suggest finding the pissyest sativas and the most acrid indicas and exploring the f1’s and f2’s…

Thanks for the input brother b. This is why I think using a Vietnamese line could stink up the sk#1 line. A good stinky indica dom skunk #1 hit with a nice puke smelling Vietnamese sativa could probably come pretty close. Add some so-cal cat piss, and play around with selection and you'd have something amazing

Maybe you can get the flavor, but seeing as how many skunky things are around that lack the killer power, i think trying to start with original skunk genetics and going f2 is probably a better bet for a good version of the old girl.

I think we should petition Sam to get out his Roadkill Skunk beans and give it a crack.

I agree on getting Sam to release a good skunk. I had a Skunk/Haze from Sam that had out of control Skunk smell. It filled my whole house and you could smell it outside coming up my driveway. I loved it. My girlfriend hated it.

 

[Chrondiddle O]

I think @headyy blunts is right. I like cheese a lot, I grow GH's from fem seed every year, to me it's more like old cheese with some body funk, not super skunky. My Uncle Mike say RKS is super skunky, like the dead ones you see on the side of the road. Bloated, baked and nasty. I've never had a cheese, any cheese, smell that intense.

with respect the seeds greenhouse sells as cheese/exodus cheese are a long way off from the selection known as exodus/uk cheese.I haven't seen a seed version of cheese which comes close to the 'real' cheese which I first smoked at free raves in the late nineties.

Soul Food

Soul Food

Here is the super loud garlic, onion meaty terp having lady that is my favorite smoke atm.

Been posting here all over trying to get any info on the lineage but its a dead end.

Very potent, a little too racy for my buddy that is a fellow planter.

She is the result of f2'ing a male and a female bagseed. All the progeny turned out to have the same earthy, spicy smells in varing degrees. I still have a few of the original seeds but this cultivar fits right into the proper receptors for me and this individual was the only one with a tight bud structure. Plus the only male I tested went he-she. So hunting through the rest of that pack just kinda seems like a pain in the rear.

My goal now is to find a male to outcross this female with and try to get all the offspring to have the garlic, onion, meaty terps.

Shout out to Bodhi for posting those description of the hippy slayer, I was starting to think I was going crazy and beginning to question myself.

It basically a skunk smell on sour d nugs imo.

Has the hippy slayer been lab tested for terp a profile?
I wonder how the soul food would compare.

 

[heady blunts]

my colombian x afghani makes my eyes water and my nose run when i'm trimming her (i trim dry btw). i can only take out one branch at a time. the rest of the plant has to stay in the bucket and the trimmed nugs go into a mason jar the moment they're snipped off the branch.

i imagine trimming RKS would induce even stronger physical reactions.

does the cheese have that level of pungency?

from smoking it i could imagine it filling the room like a gross sweaty dude's gym sneakers.

but i couldn't imagine it makeing my eyes and nose leak like mace or skunk spray or 5 lbs of chopped onions.

 

[window]

I would describe the cheese to be astringent, nose burning when trimming.
