The Roadkill Skunk Fan Club

[TGT]

I believe the skunk smell doesn't come from the sativa genes, I think it is more from the afghani side, although I could be wrong. Other traits of the skunk obviously come from the sativa side, so it's almost luck of the draw to find something similar. I hope someone can pull it off.

Lotta great points on this page!
Ono- I have these seeds I am getting ready to grow this year I call "mexichron"...
IT was very skunky, but had nothing but huge spears all stuck together in the "loose brick" It came from across the tiajuana border a few years back- not the stuff they grow in the sierra nevadas.
The flavor was very chronic like.... I'll be laughing at myself pretty hard if those turn out to be something close to what we are looking for....I'm suspecting maybe decendants of those NL seeds nark sent down south...
But if she doesn't grow out like NL (and I was looking at both beans- not much in common at all) which Im supecting less and less (nl origin) then I MAY just have another one of those gems you speak of....
I was talking with a bro, the one who had robert clarkes book the year it came out. (I merely went over there to study it often) And he's got a more indica dom opinion than mine... He always swore it was %100 pure indica... I was positive of a 10 to 20% sativa.. We have both grown her out in the 80's ( no he didn't have any beans stashed either-)
And well I was like still holding to my 20% theory, And he was like "at most"...
So we are looking for a landrace kush with 20% indica 80% sativa....
And use an afghani (both from afghani genotype-The kush and afghani are sub-types in this reference) To cross her with...
Now which ones?
Good luck, but the dominace ratio will fit, 10 to 20 % satva if a 40/60 or 20/80 ratio kush is used with a pure afghani indica ....
The more people searching old genetics the better.. Maybe someone will have the old indica dom and bust out when they see our efforts.
I have already achieved a similar budset within the afghani kush genotype.
The true indica skunk was that- A truebreeding indica.. even with the sativa influence it bred true.. It practically had to be kush....crossed to afghani...
Kahuna sounds like it may have the roadkill pheno mentioned by
"the boys" earlier... Anyone?

Hey just some more input, there where a post recently here
on Icmag with a old artical abouth Nevil, on one of the pages down in the bottom Skunk no 1 is reviwed

"First became available around 1980. The Dom Perignon of domestic marijuana and one of my personal favorites. Very clean, cerebral high. Early on, the bud has the aroma of fine perfume. Pick it late and it SMELLS LIKE SKUNK, Good AM smoke"

I think that the creation af the skunk no 1 and the following inbreeding of the orinal skunk no1 is the way to go in making of a new RKS type cannabis.

and from what i know of the originally skunk no 1 it is a 75%sativa 25% indica hybrid, a cross of 25% Afghan 25% Mexi Acapulco gold and 50% Colombian Gold, and that it have been inbreed since 1978. Also read that it´s Thai instead of Mexi (Sacred Seeds Co)

So get some columbian -mexican orThai -and afghan landrace seeds
sturr it all up and inbreed fore "some" years, there will be some sweet´s maby a killer RKS line.

With love from Denmark

Hers a shot of one of my Skunk plants I gre outdoors. This is the indica pheno, the 2nd and only other distinct pheno from the HTC skunk line.
Its certainly not RKS, but it is skunky! dosent show up alot, and its a nice deviation from the rest of the line.

anyway, just thought Id drop in and post a pic.
bbl

Peace folks, bub.

is that still available for purchase?

 

[Guest423]

nice one bub, i'm gonna be throwing out a couple hand fulls of that line this spring. hopefully we have a nice fall so i can get full potential out of her. i did find some were more skunky then others...some of the males are real stinkers....now that i have a couple thousand beans to work with i should have some good luck.

back in the late 70's, early 80's i was living in a small town in upstate new york. we grew some "skunkweed" from seeds that came down from vermont - the plants were incredibly pungent during every stage of growth, turned purple w/colder temps, and were classic indica in phenotype. the dried buds were dank and dark, heavy heavy couchlock and tore your throat up something fierce, but no one cared - especially after a few hits!

at the same time, i was given a few seeds of sk1 from an old friend in san francisco who was very well connected. these did not grow very well compared to the skunkweed, and the smoke was significantly weaker.

Nice bub
Really nice!
Thanks for posting pics and info of HTC skunk. So you don't think it's roadkill?
I have heard it's the closest thing out there that is actually available in seed form..
I had my ol' lady smell my little test prospect yesterday (her nose never fails me- my imagination runs wild) And Afterwards asked her "how's it smell"?
"Nice"
"Does it smell skunky?"
"No- like greenbud"
I dont think that's what i wanted to hear from her...
Oh well back to the drawing board.

[tiedye420]

Kolohe hello my friend
Was the couchlock you mention a functional one? Because like we used to build houses smokin the stuff all day long like cigarettes practically.
It would wipe out all thought and you could just "do what ya gotta do" without distraction... Of course this could be my anxiety disorder.. Gotta have the good stuff or i go nuts...
tiedye

 

[tiedye420]

The roadkills we grew out in SD were smaller, more of the conical shape of say, afghani/kush. The beauty you have there seems more paki/kush monster bush phenotype... This of course could be partially enviromental..
G.D. beautiful though bub...

 

[kolohe]

tiedye -

i guess "functional" means different things to different people, but this weed was paralyzing - we always said if the house burned down you might be able to get up and run, but it was doubtful. i know what you mean about being zoned out but still capable of work, but this stuff was off the charts.

High bro. well I dont represent it as RKS, cause thats not what it was given to me as.. it was given to me as skunk, so thats what I call it.. In my position, its a fine line labaling things to the public.. and Im not one for Hyping up my work..
However, if growers think from their exp, my skunk is closest to RKS they can find in seed, thats for them to say, and them to express. Ill just be happy, knowing they are happy with my gear, whatever strain it may be!

as to the size/structure of the plant pictured: I grow big plants outdoors.. I top them alot, and I dig them big (4x4) holes with a verry rich medium. good location is of course always key aswell.

thanks for the compliments! good grows bro!

Peace all, bub.

 

[Guest423]

big holes and alot of sun does an outdoor plant good.

thats a monster hole u dig there bub!

what i'm i looking at for a outdoor harvest date? mid octoberish?

 

[OG bub]

yeah bro the Ind pheno finishes about a week topps before the primary pheno, bout mid Oct.. youll mabey see some slight variance, mainly due to sun exposure..

Peace, bub.

 

[tiedye420]

That's kinda what I was wondering..
Because the branches look about right, the leaf pheno is correct...
How's the budset? hard lime green golfballs?
We used to call it "the Kind" a lot also in "the days".
BTW, my development is stinkin a bit more like the old style KGB greenbud from WA. rather than roadkill.
But I have yet to bud her full term... Im sticking them out late spring and getting cuts for inside veg perepetuality...
This one I'll probably snip a few chunks off it to test while i play with the g-13..
If beans appear on my KIlla Green bud they would be a BX to the G-P.
That's not a bad thing...
URkle is slated for an afghani style recombination herself < as I get to shinin the old shotgun.....
Poppin ch lumbo and thai (my lumbo against visions thai -uh oh)
Jam red hair hand me down pre american influence (african genetics reputedly)
SD f2 (rez dog's)
Stinky mine of course -a 10 year project I call my "tenure"> LQTMS.
nlxkush (private breed of a buddy's-exceptional)
Stinky f3Xg-13 (G-13 is an old seedline I am working_L.O.L.)
Stinky f3x ECSD (ECSD was rez's "clone mom")

 

[tiedye420]

Oh and a mexican sativa I collected from a 1/2 Lb of greenbud.. Pulling a bud from the loose brick made a velcro type sound it was so sticky... It was skunky as heck.
And had visible crystallization over the nugs... The brick was glued with THC hence the velcro sound... Made sweet kief. Huge long spears.
Im poppin some i picked out from the batch...
Thing was the roadkill seeds were huge round and tan. Come to think of it.

 

[Guest423]

thanks bub, lets hope for a good fall up here huh.

tiedye- sounds like you got a bunch of projects going bro, git er done, i hope you come up with some kickass creations!

 

[Guest]

imo there are only two kinds of herb...work and smoke. Work is always sold and smoke is always too good to sell. People just smoke it because its so damn good. Its only shared with friends or someone you want to impress. That is why RKS is so rare.

 

[Gangabiss]

If you're looking for that pungent, stanky, skunky overpowering smell then you might want to check out some versions of white widow.

The only herb I've ever had that matched your RKS description was some ww that I got off my dealer a couple of years back.
I remember walking up to his house and smelling the skunky funk before I even got to his front door...and his smoking room was at the opposite side of the house but it still permeated all the air space surrounding his house lol

I bought a quarter off the guy and took it to work the next day (very bad idea). I worked in an office back then and I had the bud double bagged inside my zipped up jacket pocket, rolled up into a tight ball stuffed underneath my desk and it still stank out that whole office room!
Talk about paranoia.

Just a thought

 

[scrappy2]

I had some AK47 that stunk pretty good this past season even after it was dryed. However you dont really see any RKS in Dutch genetics they bred for sweetness. Im one of those guys that loves the smell of a live skunk...when I smell it first words out of my mouth "smells like some good bud to me"! Im hunting some RKS.....and am slowing getting the directions figured out! I'll keep every one posted!
