There was no indication cops lied in that statement actually(surprisingly maybe).

Shit Stanky where does one acquire those beans?

G`day HMK

Try adding some myercene to your Skunk bud ...

That`s where the narcotic effect comes from .
Not some unicorn horn found only in RKS . Sheesh !


@ Stanky
Nice humble brag / shill bra .

Thanks for sharin

Not looking for a narcotic effect. Looking for the old roadkill, the best weed ever for everyone who tried it.

Myrcene is the correct spelling.

Didn't mean to offend or come off braggish? Sorry if I offended, I don't have the rks cut I just smoked it. My boss is the one who got the cut. Im just lucky to be able to try out some beans from it and get in on something with good people who are making the right moves. If anything, I'm giving props to garlic fam farms, I'm just lucky enough to be considered for employment.

Shit Stanky where does one acquire those beans?

They're not publicly for sale yet, garlic fam farms is just about to launch their seed co this year, I think they wanna work their crosses more and have a perfect product before it's released to the public. They will be soon though. Follow @thedukesoferrl and @garlicfamfarms on ig to stay updated on #thereturnoftheskunk

Dude the weed you had was called skunkweed not Roadkill Skunk. We can see clearly from the S1 pic you posted that it's not a pure Skunk variety and is very Afghan dominant. In all likelihood you never smoked Roadkill Skunk just a skunky affie or a super-skunk. It seems like you even came to this conclusion yourself over at the Sacred Seeds thread. Also if you want to fix a trait, like taste or aroma, you need to inbreed (or repeatedly back-cross to the S1) not out-cross like some other fool here suggested. I thought you said you've been growing for something like 30 years but you don't seem to know the basics ...

 

[StankyBeamer]

Thiols. That's the compound. It's a sulfur analogue supposedly found in the original rks, and they're not terpenes, and aren't tested for on current common Terpenoid analysis.

Also, spacebros, inbreeding kills the vigor in a strain, and bottlenecks. The whole issue with the rks is its an old clone that's lost its vigor for most people who had her. Inbreeding a 30+ year old cut that's already losing vigor doesn't seem like a good idea to me, seems like out crossing for vigor, and then selecting for thiol production (if thiol testing could be performed), and then stabilizing a now vigorous f1 would be the better option, but then again, maybe we should just stick to the basics and Inbreed the shit out of everything and bottleneck the gene pool as you so eloquently suggested.

It wasnt called roadkill for at least a decade after we got it. Thats been gone over. Even skunkman sam said it wasnt roadkill.

Let me spell it out for you plain and simple: the cut we had was gotten in 1980, reeked like a dead skunk on the road, was loved by everyone who tried it, and many of those people were very old school heads. They all preferred this stuff as it was supreme. It was also crazy stinky.

You can believe and assume what you want. I and many others, KNOW.

That makes sense for sure. That sulfur smell is something i can detect in minute quantities.

OK firstly RKS is not a clone only strain. It's a phenotype of the Skunk cultivar, which had plenty of vigor and genetic variation and was readily available in seed form at one time or another. Also lack of vigor of an aging clone and lack of vigor due to in-breeding are two separate issues. As mentioned in previous posts there are plenty ways of re-invigorating tired old clones and yes, you're right, out-crossing would be one of those.

The whole idea behind cloning however is to lock down desirable traits in a plant. Out-crossing does the opposite of this. As HMK seems to be looking for something very similar if not identical to his original skunkweed clone he's better of crossing to a readily available skunky Skunk#1 (like Euforia) and repeatedly back-crossing to the original S1 parent and growing out each generation until he gets something he's happy with that's similar enough to the parental plant and has acceptable vigor then he can clone that as a keeper.

In any case if HMK out-crossed like you're suggesting he would eventually have to in-breed at one stage or another to lock down the thiols you mentioned (which I thought your grower friend suggested couldn't be bred for conventionally anyway). Also there's no need to pay for thiol testing if HMK has a nose of his own

BTW I'm currently growing El-Dorado, which has been back-crossed for over a dozen generations. It's the most vigorous plant in my garden. So in-breeding won't always kill vigor if the breeder knows what they're doing.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say TBH. Roadkill Skunk is not a Skunk cultivar or what you had wasn't Roadkill Skunk? You can't have it both ways since your plant is clearly not a Skunk cultivar. Or is just the smell itself enough to assign the title of RoadKill skunk?

I'm not trying to dispute your claims just trying to get the facts straight for the rest of the RKS fan club.

Thanks,

Well as I see it, the legendary skunk that came to be known as roadkill, was known to reek like a dead skunk on the road, and also be more pungent and penetrating than any other weed people had seen. Hard to grow stealthily, or transport. Also, the stuff that became known to be roadkill, was revered as being amazingly strong and satisfying. I cant recall anyone who had experience with her that didnt think it was most likely the #1 best pot they had ever tried.

So our cutting came from Cali, in 1980, was called skunkweed, had all of these attributes.

A great roadkill skunk.

As I have said before, I recall 2 or 3 versions from around the continent, all were great, all were slightly different. Obviously related. As Sam as said countless times, at first his skunk was very stinky and he bred away from it. In the early days, there were a few "roadkill" types that floated around, obviously favoured phenos from his early skunk#1 before he had time to breed the stink and sedative high out of it.

 

[SpaceBros.]

Thanks for clarifying HMK. Apart from aroma and effect what are the other attributes of RKS?

Also did SamS create the whole Skunk line (Colombian/Afghan x Acapulco Gold) as well as the cultivar/IBL Skunk#1. Or was there some pre-SamS Skunk around?

How's your S1 going BTW? How 'bout some pics for the fan club?

I was reading in another thread on Mexican weed and someone there was describing what they called "lime green" as the best import they get out of mexico and it sounded a lot like what I remember the "roadkill" skunk I came across in the early 2000s at least in appearance and effect.

anyway the roadkill I got came to me called "superskunk," they said because it was "super skunky. Damn, can't you smell that skunky shit."

 

[Hashmasta-Kut]

Our particular version was extremely dense. Many times it was asked, is that really an oz, or just a half?

By S1, I am not sure what you mean exactly. For a few years now i have been keeping going the one selfed seed from a 90's skunk grow i got to live. I recently finally got around to trying to go back with it, so i crossed the selfed skunk seed with a stardawg cross male. Now i have a male and female F1 from that, and soon will pollinate the female to get f2s.

Not sure if this has been discussed before here:

https://www.quora.com/Why-does-marijuana-have-such-a-strong-smell

The strongest unpleasant aroma of cannabis: the "skunk" smell, is likely due to the metabolic product of a precursor to acetyl coenzyme A. This precursor fragment is extremely pungent, reminiscent of sewer gas. To the best of my knowledge, no one has found the actual thiols associated with skunk spray on cannabis. I heard a funny and true story about a cannabis grower in Los Angeles who bought a gram of actual skunk spray to enhance the aroma of his harvested buds. It did not have a happy ending...

Here's another link with some other peoples thoughts on RKS:

https://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=295057&page=10

I wasn't aware of pyrazine; what's intriguing about the concept of oxidized terpenes is that I noticed a few months back when my dog was sprayed by a skunk that the initial spray does not resemble what we all commonly refer to as the 'Roadkill skunk' smell. It's predominantly sulfur smelling, like burnt rubber. Nasty, putrid funk.

The next day, though, the patio area and the room she first came into smelled like someone smoked some killer skunk bud. So it took some time for the initial sulfur smell to sort of mature into a different aroma entirely, to what we identify as roadkill skunk.

I have almost never found bud that actually smells roadkill in the bag. Only after it was smoked did the room have that skunk funk. Interesting to think that it could be initial terpenes + oxidation that creates that roadkill funk. The odd thing is Skunkman and some people's recollection of bud that smelled like roadkill, something I haven't personally experienced, but would suggest there are/were ("what happened to RKS?") terpenes capable of producing that smell on their own.

Chimera did say he found something unique which he isn't willing to share yet.

DP's euforia was mentioned before, I don't know about the old stock but 4 years ago a friend and I grew the fem version in different environments and it wasn't very smelly at all. More like a parfume, lavender like skunk, with a smooth functional high behind it. Medium potency.

Cheers.
