The Roadkill Skunk Fan Club

[elkslayer]

Hey Kotton & Hindu Killer

The stuff used to be everywhere around MSU in the late 80's early 90's. I am certain some wherehouser's moved in from Cali and set up shop. Alot of it was called williams wonder back then. Some of the stuff friends grew came from very few seeds within these bags. Dunno if it was pollen chucking or herming. Keep poking around.

I actually have a few seeds left from that line though so far buried into a local outdoor sat we were working with back then. Not too sure if they would germ or even be found.

I may be recieving a Shoreline cut in the near future
I've heard this is a really skunky strain (?) so I'll be sure to keep ya'll posted. BTW, great info everyone! Glad to see the Roadkill Skunk hunt is still alive and kickin'.

 

[Guest423]

the RKS hunt will never die brah

beans or cuts will eventually show up....might take some work, some patience and some luck but with everyone constantly looking and wanting it she'll show up....just imagine if any of us fools that have all these stories would of got some cuts when we could of back n the day. you'd like to think someone out there was smart enough and had big enough balls to still grow this lol

LMAO....too true, too true!

ISO RKS

Hmmnnnn
nothing so far can compare to the kill, but I'm just getting started...
The mexican chronic, (aside from the polyploidal nature) seems about the best bet for
"the pew" and well we all know the pepe smell comes from a good afghani...
MY best guestimate from my pool is going to be just that MexicanIndicaXAfghani (g-13)
Outside the roadkill realm, but sure to turn a few heads on her own rights.
Is the cross StinkyXdiesel.
She is the most promising of my last crosses, and will be worked into a breed eventually. Stinky melded into the sour diesel, making the diesel much stronger...
She looks to be a very heavy yielder also, but hydro testing is in order there..
Stinky can muddy up the waters if crossed to the wrong subject.
But in the sour diesel she blended in, and reinforced the flavor without throwing it off too much.... Cha ching! bada bing!
The subject in testing budded outdoors in mid summer, until I clipped them off. Now it's starting to revert to veg a little. I harvested the product just a couple weeks ago..

But for the roadkill I'm still in search...
Mix and match and make her my own I will...
tie (though it might take 10 years- I'm a pitbull- and i'm on that tire)

ANYONE up for a visual?
Imagine g-13 and this mexican indica together...

 

[tiedye420]

Looking at that picture blown up, it's pretty obvious why i love my landrace so much.
That is one of the prettiest in the garden, And I got a lot of gear going this year.
Two dozen strains.. The mexichron is hittin top five for growth..
The smoke those beans came from was utterly dank. Hard to believe it came from across the border....But it did.. back in 02.. L.O.L.
There is a 66% rate of polyploid mutations found in the strain. That pic is the only normal one....
It's got the "Le pew" smell and well, g-13 will have to do for an afghani...
It's those who tread paths of uncertain origin who will come up with treasures, IMHO..
tie
Even diamonds are found in dirt my friends.

I think that if people were looking for the Roadkill skunk smell that I would want to look back as far as I could at the breeders that have been around the longest. Know I know that The Seed Bank sold all of it's genetics to Sensi Seeds in the 90's and that is where most of the strains we see today are from ( NL#5x skunk#1, G13xHashplant, G13xNl#2, HPxNL#1, Hashplant pure, Hazex EP.SK#1xNl#5, NL#5x Haze so on and so forth) So would it be worth buying up a few packs of there skunks to see if one could find the ever elusive Road Kill Skunk? Maybe.

If ONLY life was REALLY like that!!! :wink:

But one thing I do agree

you'd like to think someone out there was smart enough and had big enough balls to still grow this lol

but I do NOT think we'd agree about what that "means" (that nobody has/does)

From December to now (SORRY..... I could NOT read it all..... I stumbled into this from another site where sam bit by bit addressed the 1st post)

So, in a nutshell what if any progress has been made? Have you issued standards etc.... I mean if each person, independently, are searching all known skunks (hasn't that been done?) how do you determine authenticity? True RKS smell? Each individual?

Has a list been made of tried and excluded strains?

I AM a fan of RKS..... But, like the fact that I am a fan of the beatles, I collect beatle music.... Besides the current apple catalog I have the Mercury (American Reverb laced versions) as well as the Esher Demos, Rhine River sessions, More Rhine River, Final Rhine River, the get back sessions and more..... IOW.... I do NOT wax poetically or longingly for something that WILL NEVER return..... I get my hands on what I can.....

To that end, should SOMEONE come up with an RKS, I WOULD purchase it! or trade for it, or do WHATEVER it took to TRY it....

Now, Im sure it would be like my TRUE Columbian Gold or true columbo red searches....
Fruitless to put it honestly.....

NOW.... I bought RMs Panama Red because I understand the relationship between Panama Red and Columbian Red.... especially later Panama Red......

So I continue even though I have been disappointed more that I have been pleased......

So, PLEASE do not take my skepticism as negativity......

While I DOUBT that if it doesnt come from Sam or Reeferman NO ONE else will be able to make the selections from the volumes of skunks one must grow TO realistically undertake such an project!

SHOULD someone DO the impossible, I WILL applaud them and support them.....

It just reminds me of the people who read where shanti says you MAY find that 1 in 1000 plant and Joe Grower is "HOPING" that he has one NOT ONLY in the 1 pack be bought, but in the 3 seeds from that pack he is GROWING!!

Jah Bless...... I wish you luck..... Just wondering in coming on 9 months if any type of progress is being made? Peace

 

[Niemand]

So would it be worth buying up a few packs of there skunks to see if one could find the ever elusive Road Kill Skunk? Maybe.

In MY Humble opinion NO!

Unless you already DID the preliminary work and through deduction determined that SUCH and SUCH strain has NOT A SKUNKY Smell, but an RKS smell.....

THEN, if you have 100 people in your group AND some type of criteria and EACH of those 100 people bought 5-10 packs........

But just think about this LOGICALLY..... a LOT of people have ALREADY grown out practically EVERY skunk made!! YET.... Still in 2007 there is NOT EVEN a HINT of RKS..... and TRUST me.... This "fan club" is NOT the 1st group of people with this thought.....As long as I was on OG (since 2000) there were threads about it....... YET..... 7 years later, with the wateringdown of the gene pool and the bastardization of strains we are still NO CLOSER then we were in 2000?

Again, I ENCOURAGE ALL with an interest to embrace this "project".......

BUT..... EVERYBODY should enter into it knowing that IF the man who invented Skunk or breeders like Reeferman who can deal with thousands of plants are the best suited and unlike finding a seed in coffeeshop bought ganja to discover Genius, Princess etc.... it will NOT be that easy......

And without some type of criteria and some type of central database to track strains, years, phenotypes, pictures etc.... It's closer to mental masturbation than it is accomplishing a goal!

BUT..... to get back to your question..... I THINK before you go about buying Sensi's Skunks you find PEOPLE who HAVE!! As I said.... By 2007 MOST of the skunks for sale HAVE been grown by more than 1 person! I personally have grown maybe 10 different peoples skunks and the best "I" have found is some NON-Sweet skunks...... NOTHING even reminiscent of RKS......

Good Luck..... Jah Bless

 

[watermixer]

Its a shame Sam is too much of a greedy hoarding person to pass his stock on to someone else to let this take place. Everybody say thanks to Sam, Thanks Sam. lol

 

[trybud]

we thought we had at least a rks in clone. this came from a nirvana hindu kush backcross. 2 months after the cure (no more burping jars) i open the jars and the scent/flavor changed to something more like a cleaner (?) with a hint of sweetness.got some clones going outside and if they have the RKS smell/flavor then im going to skip the cure.so close, but still a dead end

 

[killa-bud]

i don't under stand,whats so rare about the rks smell? its pretty common in regs(atleast around here),its like someone poured skunk juice on the buds,kind of nasty when you've been smokeing it for a while,got sick of the smell and taste

i made some firecrackers with that weed,simply disgusting,tasted like i imagine a skunks smell glands tasteing,i threw up,the taste was so fucking strong,my god,gaging just thinking about it

lol thats a good one, u think sam or reeferman are the only ones capable of growing volumes of skunks? anyways what is the point of growing a volume of skunk#1's? skunk#1 was inbred to breed out the rks and to enhance the fruitiness since that was the direction it was chosen to go.

instead of growing out millions of fruity skunk#1 hoping to find a needle in a haystack wouldn't u just want to get the oldest skunks possible since they would be more skunky and less fruity and go from there? no one has any chance of finding any rks in anything on the market....it's already been hacked to shit.

the best bet would be working the cheese cut since it is older and still has that dank quality that no skunks on the market have today....or starting beans from rks buds from the late 70's or early 80's. searching todays skunk genepool would be the biggest waste of time i've ever seen.

 

[motaco]

I think alot of this getting the smell you remember is going to be the curing procedure too.

 

[Guest423]

the strength of the odor would vary between growers depending on growing/harvest time/drying/curing i'd think.

 

[killa-bud]

how's skunk #1 in general?

 

[tiedye420]

NO WAY
The Smell I Remember.....
Would knock you back six feet away on a 6" seedling.
Nothing to do with a good cure on this one. It just reeks..
If anything we need the orignal genetic material.
I'm holding to robert clarke's theory that "there are no new strains , just recombinations of old genepools"

[Guest]

"just recombinations of old genepools"...........is that the truth................thanks TD420

 

[Guest423]

skunk#1 is great if you like nice yields of fruity sweet tasting and smelling buds with no bag appeal and a boring low potency buzz.

 

[srah]

It's all personal preference, but for my head, skunk#1 does not have a "boring low potency buzz." Euphoric with the proper mixture of head and body. Plus it's cheap.
