The Roadkill Skunk Fan Club

[TPFTFW]

I'm working on a few skunk projects, I have some 90's triple bag skunk from a commercial op in northern MI and I also am planning a few projects with an 80's heirloom skunk cut. MI's skink in the 90s-05 was KILL. never seen anyone claim to have anything of the sorts but most gems like these stay offline and in the hills.

Hello, what is the range like the plague but rks? I have recommended to me the pure and shit, do you think? thanks

I've been away for 6+ months and damnit still nothing.
Just wish I lived near Atoka Oklahoma. That is were it came from in the late 80s and early 90s. Then there was a big bust and poof it was gone. But I know there is some old timer still growing it there. I still hear rumers it is still around them hills.

im pretty sure it originated in jamaca mon or columbia.

OK... for the ones in Reo Linda.

Some one was growing it in 1984 in Atoka county Ok and selling it to my dealer in Okc. so I could by it and smoke it in Guthrie Ok. out of a home made pipe made in Midwest city Ok by a 7th grader at Moroney Jr high schools shop class.

I didn't say they made it there.

im pretty sure it originated in jamaca mon or columbia.

Hi Guys, I just joined the site solely because of RKS, I know a lot about it because I've grown it. I also have pictures which I will post soon as I find them. Seems as rare as the tasmanian tiger these days. Anyway, if you have questions I should be able to answer them.

Hey brian2016, welcome to ICMAG. When you get the time throw some pics up of the RKS you used to run. Yea these days the RKS is far and few between, been years since some real killer skunk was circulating in my area. I'm currently running Cannacopia's BC Roadkill and a week or so ago the smell was like a skunk in the road that been hit a few days before and the smell was kinda fading. Now it smells like B.O. and rotten vegetables with just a touch of skunk. Hope I can find something better in the rest of the pack or some F2s I hope to make.

Funny you mentioned the Taz Tiger, I really thought they were extinct but remember seeing a show a few years back and said they had found evidence of some. Also some kind of big cat like a Panther? Australia is an amazing place and has always fascinated me, hope to get to travel there 1 day. Take care 1

I'm meeting up with a guy tonight who may have the original seeds, although they are 25 years old, so I am looking at the possibility of using tissue culture to revive them. One thing I can tell you is what they were like. It was the heaviest hitting afghan skunk strain ever produced. Definitely stronger than AK47. As people say, you could smell the grow up the road.
It had a very beautiful lemon citrus smell when dried and cured. Like Sam Say's, I also am not a big fan of the heavy indica stone, but if you are, then you would like it. If you brought this out at a party, it would go from noisy to dead quiet, very few people wanted more than one cone.

lol not to insult you but that's FAR from being correct. first off let's just point out that most native genetics to both those regions are majorly sativa Dom. 2ndly if you look earlier in the thread I said that my skunk I remember is a bit different then how most describe it, so that in fact may be the ONLY way your statement could be correct.. but then a second later it falls apart as the fact that It has(my heirloom cut is dank and skunky as he'll but still a bit sweet and light.. At least compared to the MI skunk I remember, which I am soon getting a handful of seeds from several generations of isolated OD crops in the 90's.. Were talking hundreds of plants of just the MI skunk(a associate of his stil has a cut of it ) but anyways the donut skunk as I've dubbed it(MI skunk) when cured smelled worse than before.. it's honestly absurd, deafening, intrusive and obnoxious. had dark green indica dom rancid pungent skunk buds.. I would almost say skunk astringent just cause it could seriously make your nose feel sensations of a sort of chemical burn due to the skunk-tastic fuckery. so nah.. my self as well of the majority of the people who know and have seen/grown this strain would say it's ABSOlutely a afghanica

 

[brian2016]

So you're late 40's or older? This stain in my opinion is afghan dominated skunk, from Sam's lines just as He said. In Australia in the mid 80's there were two types of indoor stains only, Skunk #1 and the other skunk strain which I believe to be what is now called RKS.
Skunk #1 had very small seeds, and the other had larger seeds. The strain I'm talking about was not an F1 because it produced seeds the were of the same quality as it's parents. Also both these stains came from Holland not the USA, which also fits in with what same say's. So you're saying that it is not one of Sam's?

Most posts I've read in regards to RKS, are People that have never come in contact with the strain, but are just interested to know about it.

 

[brian2016]

This is what Sam had to say some time ago.

I wonder why so many people have clones of sweet Skunk #1's and no one seems to have clones of RKS Skunk #1 or #2? Maybe because they did not care enough to keep the RKS alive? Or is it just that no one has clones from 20 years ago? Whatever the reason it is hard to believe that not one single person has a RKS Skunk #1 in clone form?
I have it in seed form but I don't really want to do the work to make it available again, it is a lot of work and takes a lot of space and time to do it right. I do not want the seeds just knocked-off. And I know I do not want to give it away, it is my work and I will get back to it eventually, when I have the time.


In the beginning, 1976, most SKUNK #1's were skunky as hell.
The smell was just like a dead skunk. I could smell grows outdoors or even early indoor grows sometimes a few blocks before the grow.
The seeds from the best used to make other seeds, the males were from the best line from the year before, the line was maintained by seeds only as clones were not used back then. Because the line was maintained by seed a natural variation exsisted, the plants were not Homozygous they were Heterozygous, even if they did breed pretty much true.
I selected the best in my opinion for about ten years and reproduced the Skunk #1 each year a bit sweeter as I like the high much better then the RKS, which did not get me high, it just got me loaded.
After 10 years I take Skunk #1 elite seed lines to Amsterdam, I also had a some Skunk #2 that were much more RKS like, I did not work with them.
In the Netherlands I started to use clones to make seeds, and by its nature changed Skunk #1 by using clones. I selected the best 10 females and the best 10 males from a really large crop of thousands of Skunk #1. I took the resulting clones and crossed them, making 100 populations of 200 plants each, 100 females to evaluate from each cross. When I decided which population gave the best and most consistant results I used that female clone and the chosen male clone to make seeds. The resulting seeds are consistant as hell and give grows that look like a crop from clones. They do have a small bit of variation but they do not change year to year. But they are all sweet. Because that is what I like and spent my time to create. These were used by most other seed companies to make Skunk and Skunk hybrid lines.
REMEMBER THAT MOST SKUNK SEEDS AVAILABLE ARE MADE BY OTHER BREEDERS USING MY LINES, NOT ME!!
I do not like the herb that gets you totaly loaded, physical, couchlock....
I do respect others choices, if they want it fine...
But I do not like it at all, I want to get so high I don't know what I am doing, but I do not want to get loaded, I do not like it.

ik that my heirloom cut of skunk #1 from 86' or so doesn't even compare to the MI skunk. like you say it's a bit Sweeet and cures out slightly just NOT Skunky as I'd like. I'm not saying the MI skunk is SAMs line if it is it's the RKS for sure as ive tried both the vintage late 80's s.#1 and also what I believe to be my personal grail skunk from MI. ask anyone who was in MI in the 90's and they know what I'm talking about. personally I don't really care about back stories of it. and no I'm not 40
Or anywhere near that.

 

[brian2016]

The one I'm talking about looks something like Northern lights, has Afghan growth pattern, very wide leaves, hash taste that sticks to your teeth. Buds are indica looking, not sativa like sweet skunk #1. The later sweet skunk was was just the result of sativa selection.

 

[the med man]

ive got 2 phenos.

a store owner passed recently and left his wife a ton of old beans.

the rks 2 and 3 already smell like skunk spray, and have only been in my garden 2.5 weeks.

check out my new mft thread in the hydro section for pics. these ladies are broadleafs, short, stocky. but have that true skunk #1 leaf pheno too. i have some next to my silver skunk bx1's. and they are so similar. i cant wait to harvest time, mm

thats awsome.i was metiphpicaly stating that skunk smells and tones were from a more exotic region of creation rather then a us state some where....i perssonaly dont have a clue where its from i just know when i had some in 04 the last time i had a bag of it,it was in denver and it was a nice suprise i hadent had any since cali in 98.

right on.. sorry that was a bit sassy. haha. just woke up at that point.. didnt mean to come off so abrasive.

 

[OldLuck]

so is rks seeds available from anyone?

 

[Prodigygrower]

the only breeder i know who is working with the rks line is bodhi and he is working on a chem 91 x rks that is in testing rite now and should be ready in the not to distant future as long as the testes go ok witch i'm sure they will.

 

[darkvade420]

i have heard alot of people talking about the chem dog blend with other stuff to make rks.but to me when i smell chem it smells alot like sour diesle pungent not so much like a dead skunk.but in some blue berry breeds i have had i can get a slight wiff of skunk in certain bags of it.which is wierd to me .
