The Roadkill Skunk Fan Club

[hidingtree]

here's RKS as i know it .







the one on the right in the last picture is the RKS. it's weird .it really hates to be grown indoors ..... outdoors it does wonderfully . it smells from a long way away in flower too . so beware . i believe she came from a nirvana afghan x nl at the time it was also called aurora indica . i almost dicarded this plant because it didn't show sex for the longest time . the pre flowers looked like male pollen sacks and i set it aside for a bit . it started to die off and one day i looked and lo and behold there they were female preflowers all over the thing . it took alot of regenerating for this plant to survive . i rarely flower it indoors though . i pass some clones on to friends who need this as medicine for thier illness and they grow into christmas trees out doors . would anyone who tried this(nirvana AI) get the same pheno ? i don't really know . it was about 4 or 5 years ago i got these seeds . it is a great find . i hope you all find her though . someday when i have done enough work to begin making seeds for the freebies i will try to make this one until then i have much work to do to get there . many blessings , hidingtree

Today, a botanist came by to trade stories and nugs, we discussed MASSACHUSETTS SUPER SKUNK, which is his main pursuit to obtain, at this time.

He had a line on a cut of it, and had tried it, many times, even promised me a 'z' next time it is offerred to him.

I asked him if it was like ROADKILL, and he said, absolutely yes....

The cut is under extreme lock-n-key, and I will never have it offerred, maybe unless I offer my OG Kush/Chemdog cut, which I might do, if the pot is as good as I heard today.

If and when I get any MASS SUP SK, I will post pix, and smoke report.

MY bro is sending me the MSS, but he says it is a sweet skunk, not RKS. I don't know, havent grown it yet.

Anyone ever hear of a strain called A-4? I had a clone from the Bay area a few years back, and it was the stinkiest weed I have ever grown. A little more acrid and catpiss type smell than RKS, but definetely had that skunk's ass on your nostril smell as well. My friend who usually buys my excess meds wasn't allowed to buy any of this strain. His wife complained it smelled up the entire house like catpiss skunk even though it was double bagged and in tupperware. Supposedly from the spice bros breeding stock, but I can't verify that, it's just what I was told at the time. I believe the nonmenclature is Afghani #4 from their breeding "program" selection of Afghani. Again, just what I was told at the time.
Crossed with the right affie I could see this producing that stink and flavor we love.

icysurfer....I thought you were gonna say you'd spread that whore cross county lines once ya holdin'.......................? I have heard the same on that elusive cut...
and wish ya the best in yur quest friend.................

ganj on......

 

[sativa92]

Whats the chances that reeferman actually has roadkill ???
in the description he says has a sweet taste...

 

[Guest]

I do not even have a 'line' on it yet...! Down boy...!

Sometimes, clones are given under the condition that it is NEVER distributed. No promise made, no cut given.

If I make a deal, it is likely that I will not be able to distribute it to the world....

My experience is that most people want a great cut, but have nothing to offer back.
When the answer is no, resentment shows up. Not sure I understand that. I worked hard for all I have.

Gotta give to get, these days.... Proactively.

In this world is it still a case of wanting to help people....? I share with friends, but......

Seems like selfishness is the norm in our society now.

Folks can be pretty serious about things like that in NorCal. I am one of 'em. But, I DO sometimes trade other great cuts....

Will advise with a smoke report and pix, if and when I get a z of da kine.

hello , i too am a fan of the notorious road kill skunk . i know exactly what you all are longing for . you all have access to it through the many afghan crosses that have been made . which type ? i'm not a person who has knowledge enough to say . it's funny though that there was a big falling out between reeferman and the SB crew for a bunch of seed stock that reeferman had taken for granted . now he's allegedly selling williams wonder and RKS ??? which is fine . i don't know if your going to find that RKS in those particular seeds . but you might . i would try to sort through many afghan hybrids .... this is where the RKS is most likely . i like to say that possible the chances are greater in the F2's of this sort .many blessings in your quest for the RKS . ~hidingtree

Reeferman claims to have it.

[Bluebeard]

Yeah, reeferman claims it is an old school skunk gifted to him from Sam crossed to a Mazar-I-Sharif from Sam, but Sam just said a couple days ago that he hasn't given anyone seeds in ten years, and has NEVER given anyone a Mazar. Things must not be going well for old reef for him to telling lies which are discovered so easily. I mean c'mon, he had to have known he couldn't keep it up for long. Shit like that is so ficking destructive to the community.

Last week I found a pheno about as close to an rks as I've seen in 15 years in a very indica looking pheno of La Mano Negra's Angola Roja X congolese banghi. Unfortunately I didn't even pick up on it until right when she was almost finished and the girl wouldn't reveg. I kept thinking that it couldn't be and I must be mistaken. A cross between two African lines wouldnt produce an RKS, right? When it dried it was way closer to an old RKS than most anything everyone else is trying such as the shoreline and MSS cuts. It was at least nice to have a few joints of such a throwback, and I know I as well as LaManoNegra have plenty more of those seeds. I just hope the next one will be as easy to find.

We took a sample of some abusive OGK to the park the other day. We were gonna surprise a good friend with some Ocean Grown. We get there and there are more peeps than we expected. So we get rid of the sample to our friend. He's very happy that we thought of him and is graciously thanking us when he suddenly stops and whifs the air. He's all "dude wtf did you bring? a skunks butthole?" We laughed and were not surprised cause it was so smelly it had to ride in the back of the truck on the way to the park.
This is just one of the many many strains we have tried that smell like a skunks ass. A few more honorable mentions would be Chocolate Trip, Katsu Bubba and of course Berkely. There are tons of skunked out strains. But that lime green, dense, bright orange haired, frosty skunk skunk has been hard to find.
Beign as its hard to cover the stench of a skunky plant in flower. I imagine a true pure RKS would be a nightmare to keep stealth. We culled the Chocolate Trip because when drying it would just reek to beat hell. Katsu and berkely are the same way but are so good for meds we decided to keep them.

I order already some Double Skunk (RKS) from Reef.

Sam has to explian if he wishes the claims of Reef. So far I believe what reef is saying otherwise he would have kill his reputation and credibility by stating these and not being true.

 

[Guest]

good luck on finding that pheno BB.......sounds like a nice X regardless..............

ganj on.....

 

[Fritz the Cat]

Sam does not need to explain anything. Reefer has jumped on names like og,bubba,saying they are IBLs that needs explaining.He wants to make $ off of la boutique names. I hope those beans are rks I do not care if he stole them from the Pope. But I would not put up a buck for a million on a bet like that.FTC

 

[joaquin386]

I don't know the stories that come around as they don't happend to me so if somebosy claims something and the other party doesn't say otherwise what is the point on not trusting somebody?

 

[Vash]

Tell you what'll solve all this useless banter - grow them out joaquin386
We'll make the call from there. One thing I do know, if they are not RKS, and somebody bought them at $150.00 a pop, then need I say more.
If that is really what he is doing, then i'm wondering how many other "breeders" are doing the same thing.

Its of my opinion there are several lines labeled road kill skunk. Some of which have absolutely no skunk in them at all. There may have been a line originally labeled Road Kill Skunk, but the name itself is probably attached to quite a few lines that are exceptionally foul.

 

[Guest]

Not sure if this was posted already, but since we're on the subject of Skunks I thought this would be an invaluable contribution to those interested in the history of Skunk.

The Story of Eddie, One of the Early Skunk Pioneers
During the sixties in Holland, most of the cannabis consumed was low-grade South East Asian grass and Hashish. During the early to mid seventies, a small number of enthusiasts grew out many of the seeds they had collected throughout the years, plus the already long established Purple and Green Lemon types (these were used as tobacco substitutes during the Second World War). Right about that time, a number of Afghani seeds also made it to Holland. The Dutch met with limited success breeding with these varieties; however, the consumers were not interested in this 'Nederwiet', still preferring their imported Hashish.


Kerala Krush In the States, where the smoking of Marijuana was already well established, enthusiasts were also breeding cannabis with seeds from around the world. Predominantly pure Sativa types were preferred due to the type of high that they gave, but these pure Sativa types were not indigenous to the States and rarely matured in time. Many hybrids were created from pure Sativas, mostly from Thai, Columbian, Mexican and South Indian landrace plants. During the mid to late seventies, Cannabis Indica seeds were introduced into the States, including Afghan #1, Mazar-I-Sharif, Chitral, and Hindu Kush.

Breeders crossed these early-maturing Indica varieties with the sweeter but late-maturing Sativas. Some of the earliest Sativa/Indica strains were bred by Sacred Seeds including Skunk#1 (Columbian X Afghan#1) X Acapulco Gold), Original Haze, Hindu Kush and Afghan#1.

In the early eighties, these strains and many others such as Early California, Thai, Columbian, South Indian, Early Girl, Hawaiian Indica, Californian Orange and South African landrace genetics were brought to Holland by Sam the Skunkman, one of the founders of Sacred Seeds. Three major players of that time, with an interest in finding superior plants started to grow out the Skunkman's seeds: Eddie, who worked together with the Skunkman for many years, setting up a successful seed wholesale business in the early eighties (Eddie now runs the Flying Dutchmen Seed Company and the Cannabis College), Ben Dronkers of Sensi Seeds, and the infamous Neville, the previous owner of the Cannabis Castle, who was also experimenting with his own genetics at the time. The base genetics for almost all of the strains that are found in Holland today, originated from the Skunkman's introductions and the subsequent breeding work achieved by these pioneers.

The key to breeding superior seed stock is the selection process. Eddie and his partners grew out tens of thousands of each strain to isolate those exceptional plants. Greenhouses of up to 20,000 square metres were used with darkening systems to manipulate the natural photoperiod: with this method two crops a year could be harvested. At first the rejuvenation of fully flowered selected mothers and fathers was a hit and miss task. The Americans were successfully taking cuttings from cannabis still in its vegetative state: this technique revolutionized the Dutch growing scene. Cuttings could be taken from all the plants during the vegetative period and maintained until the plants were mature and the selection process was carried out. These selected plants have been faithfully maintained ever since by the Skunkman and The Flying Dutchmen.

Today, research and development still forms a large part of our work.

To be fair, this is what Reeferman says in the description of Mazar-I-Shariff at hempdepot.ca (which is his official north american distributor):

This is one of the best true breeding indicas in our collection. These seeds were collected by sam the skunkman in the region over 30 years ago and maintained ever since. This is the first commercial offering of this strain to my knowledge.

Sam DOES say that some people had his genetics, he just hasn't given them out recently:

I have not given my genetics to anyone, in more then a decade, if anyone is using them to make seeds them it is without my knowledge.
I have no plans to release anything soon as I am busy with other work, (R&D).
Try Flying Dutchman or Seedsmen UK, they did have my seeds but I don't know what they sell today.

And that his plants are consistent:

The bottom line is that sure there were Indica seeds around before me, but mine were dependable year after year, the others were not.

Who is to say that Reeferman DOESN'T have these seeds? Who is to say he didn't get them from a "friend" of Sam's? From the description of Sam himself it sounds as if his Hindu Kush strain is fairly true breeding.

Bluebeard: What are you talking about... you seem to be confusing skunk with the hindu-kush indica USED to breed Skunk. Skunk = first commercial indica/sativa hybrid using the INDICA Sam found in Hindu-Kush. Nothing Sam said in the thread even has anything to DO with RKS. Let's not be quick to disparage a breeder's work.

Here is the quote from Sam:

Mazar was not collected by me, Neville bought the seeds in Pakistan from Afghani or Pakistani smugglers. It was a flop, he dropped it after a few years. It was Neville's first attempt to create his own variety from scratch, after that he stuck to retooling others breeders work, or making simple hybrids of other breeders work, and calling the new hybrid his own.

"The Mazar" is not even his. It is some crap Neville got and dropped. Its just a name.

The only misleading thing on Reef's part is he is not aware of these indicas being offered commercially anywhere when they in fact may still be (assuming Seedsman and Flying Dutchmen haven't screwed with the genes). I don't know why people are trying to call Reeferman some kind of crook... other than Sam. Once again in fairness to Reef, Sam does say he is not currently selling his Hindu Kush Indica nor does he plan to.

Here is the original thread I am referring to:
Questions for Sam the Skunkman on Hindu Kush Indicas

Reeferman has claimed to be the Original Breeder of Kali Mist, what else needs to be said?
