i grew a true SKUNK # 1 first time was 1992 ,. seeds from amsterdam DUTCH PASSION SEED CO. they still have the strain availableI thought I read somewhere it was a special rare pheno found in a skunk #1 pack way back when. A google search pulls up BC Roadkill but I’m not sure if that’s the same or not. I’ve seen it discussed on old threads here and at rui but I’m not sure of anyone that still has it.
That being said I had some sort of skunk back in the 90s a buddy gave it. It smelled like a skunk that had been run over. So much so everytime I smell a dead skunk it reminds me of that strain. A buddy in high school grew it at home with his mom helping. He brought me some leaves from it one day and I took it home and smoked it with some friends. It didn’t take much and we were fried. A couple days later he brought me a couple buds and again I shared it with some friends and it was amazing. Bright green with orange hairs and smelled more than anything I have ever run into and it’s bit even close. If I had to rate the strength of the odor between 1-10 I’d give it a 60. The next closest might be sensi star and like i said it’s not even close. I’ll have to ask him where he got the seeds. Not sure if it’s still something available but maybe it’ll give us some sort of lead. I still talk to him on Facebook from time to time.
we've collectively searched for over 2 decades. I do not believe that phenotype will be found. But, that in no way means an even better couldn't be discovered/created.
Thanks for the info and your passion for the Skunk!The time frame you worked in is much more conducive to having results. The RKS phenotype has only been showing up in males. I'm a proponent for making feminized male seeds available. Then people could chose what mother they want to do a cross with.
The previous work has been done indoors. With the same consistent results. We / I am doing some in my greenhouse this and next season. Hoping that a natural light cycle will express itself in different genotypes and concentrated phenotypes. I can try and give an update here from time to time. My main thread will be in the Ace seeds forum at icmag.
I wish all of you a blessed grow season.

Skunk 6 which is the most like the 80’s skunk i experienced is still around in the black market in colorado. A good friend of mine says an old grower friend we know brings it around sometimes still.
He has promised to save any seeds he finds but i have to say i used to get the stuff a lot about a decade ago when i lived there and never found a seed in any bag.
the grower grows many other strains for the legal market now but i believe he is holding the skunk cut. And i am positive he would never share it. It has been protected for at least 25 years.

Good to know! Hate hoarders tho.
Thanks bro!
MIMedGrower, I don't by it at all. How can you be positive about someone you don't even know? You don't know that the plant exists let alone the mindset of the person that may or may not exist. This is the type of internet BS that needs to stop! You have done nothing but give an opinion of yours as fact.
I'm an old school grower. People of my era are into preservation and sharing. Not promoting a myth secretly keeping the most sought after strain in the world from the world.
When and I mean when this phenotype of skunk is replicated. It will have been done by a group of very passionate individuals. Making it available in regular seeds so that it can't be monopolized for profit.
Nobody in the industry is investing in the effort needed for the RKS resurrection. Please don't talk out your ass to sound like you're in the know.

I hear ya but all the best plants are being held by the original families i would think. Capitalism is king.
Of all the modern high end strains these guys sell now to compete with the legal market none of them are anywhere near the smell, power or flavor of the skunk 6. Regardless of high thc claims.
i got busted by my boss/ landlord/ roomate in Frisco in the big house we lived and had our business running out of. He smelled a joint i smoked out front on the porch from like 4 hours earlier. When he came in he said he immedietely smelled my weed. I was in the open basement (split level style house) and the weed was double bagged in gallon ziplock baggies and in a duffel bag in a closed closet.
I hope to get even one seed. The plants were properly bred old school and should be mostly uniform.
I think they won a cup with it around 1996 in Amsterdam.
There is no resurrection possible. If possible to breed it back in it would have been done already. It has been tried for decades.
And what industry? None of the people i knew are interested in legal weed. They dont pay government taxes and fees or allow inspections.
Those are the old school growers.
The Leadville and Summit county locals when i lived up there about 2000 to 2010 all know the skunk 6. We smoked it regularly and it was grown in leadville then fairplay. We all snowboarded or worked for the resorts. It was local. My bud still knows the guys. He still lives at copper mountain.
Sorry but how can you not know the best cuts are protected?
how bout all the old family plants that arent being shared in the cali hills and hawaii?
We were all illegal drug dealers. there was no sharing or even telling anyone else anything.
The original skunk i first came across as a teenager was being grown in massive fields in a farm town in jersey. It was mafia run. The cut was never shared. Someone had to breed from original parent seeds. Or found bag seeds were possible back then.
They were huge sativa looking hybrids in those fields Not squat pole plants like skunk 1.
I have never seen a skunk 6 plant. It is grown indoors.
Sorry if you think all this is my “opinion”.
I will agree to disagree. Cuts are for people that don't know how to germinate seeds. Cuts are very expensive compared to buying a seed. A female cut is to keep people from selling knock off seeds.
You simply don't understand genetics very well and that's fine. You can study punet square's, frequencies and selection on your own. If the genetics existed they wouldn't be privately kept in secrecy. You're believing unsubstantiated hype and rumor as the truth. Cannabis mythology is fun and interesting no doubt.
Believing just because somebody else tried it and failed doesn't mean it isn't possible. No amount of proof is going to change your mind. Cannabis knowledge doesn't osmote into reality by smoking a bunch of pot. You clearly will defend being wrong over being open minded or humble.

For thousands of people looking for information about the RKS strain. Google will give this thread as an option. Breeders and very talented growers will be hijacked by belligerent ignorance. Please look for another source of information. Thcfarmer.com is certainly a dead end for intellectual conversations.
