How did Skunk the strain get its name?

[Burnside GC]

OK I have been sprayed more than once by a skunk (the animal) and they are everywhere here in the northeast US of A. If you have never smelled a skunk spray, you can't comment. Its over powering to the point of stupid. The only way to get rid of the smell if the spray hits your body is take a bath in tomato soup. And this will maybe make it so you can be around other humans. Maybe. I use spaghetti sauce, cases of the stuff, submerge myself in it, for hours. Then maybe a few weeks later I won't smell. That's how serious of a stink a skunk has. No lie!

That being said I have grown skunk from the 80's. Grew it in the 90's. This stuff made a mockery of filters, or anything else. It just flat out reeked, like a skunk, but with an added funk of dead animal in summer heat. Wicked. I could not grow it, it stunk that bad.

Side note, when my dog gets sprayed, its a bitch to get him soaked in ragu without the bastard eating it all lol

Come on guys, stop tying to tell Sam what to do with the work he created. He's done enough for us already. Buy his strains and get lifted and thank the man.

unfortunately he keeps bringing it up that he holds a real deal RKS clone, or many more and seeds

it seems to be a game he plays, someone is sure to dangle the sam tree at least once a month and he comes scuddling down to say, you want what you can't have, but i hold what you want, heehehehehehe


there are 2 options

there are no RKS seeds/clones, it's a giant troll job

Sam really doesn't like the RKS version of his sweet skunk line, but keeps it anyways, so he can always tell those looking for it, he has it

I really see no other option, you know the demand is there, you reply to every thread,so it's #1 or 2

I don´t know why Sam doesn´t want to do somenthing with RKS, and is not my bussiness at all, but after all this years bringing this up, if you would be really passionate about RKS you would have tryed allready other ways besides begging Sam.

So the question is :

Do you really want RKS back or you just want Sam´s seedstock to be able to say: Hey I´ve got seeds from Sam, the real deal, I´m cool, straight from the master????

You can offend yourself if you want...

Come on guys

Many of you

I think most people who grew skunk smelling weed got busted. But now that it is legal in many states in the US I would love to grow it, outdoors if nothing else.

 

[Jhhnn]

Sam is Sam, & he'll do what he wants. I've learned a lot from him in my short time here, respect his opinions & experience enormously. I've held off growing his stuff until I have the confidence in my technique to deal with haze varieties & sufficient stash to wait the stuff out.

There are clearly some very, very skunky varieties out there, despite all the tales about the legendary RKS. Hell, for all I know, it may be more mythical than legendary.

There's a med grow in a warehouse on a route I took to work every day for years. When they vent the place, the whole block & beyond reeks of skunk. Up close, it'll damned near make your eyes water. Most people mistake it for a skunk, because it's not far from the Platte river. The strain? Dunno. It's not like I can just walk up & ask.

I don't want it from Sam, I want it from anyone. I didn't even know about Sam until a few year ago. I liked it and have fond memories. I truly found it satisfying as well as for some reason the Early Roadkill Skunk I found, never raised my tolerance. What I mean by that is that even after 6 months of smoking the one constant strain/ supply it still took just as many tokes as the first time I toked it. Once they started "Hydro" ing it. It lost a little taste and I think that was the beginning of the end of it on my side of the pond.

We then got taken over by NL, because it smelt less and gave you more. We have a cut in OZ that is called Red Beard Skunk. It has a truly wonderful smell and is named so because of the significant amount of red hairs. I believe and have been told it is a Roadkill skunk by NL. It is similiar to super skunk but more pungent IMO.

I have harrassed many people for any sort of form of it and will continue to do so, unless I crack it myself.

That may sound like I'm a serious Roadkill skunk pest but I'm open to being harassed myself if one day I have something that someone wants so badly. I f I see they want it that bad, I would help them, that's just how I am. Don't expect others to if they don't want to. Totally up to them and their reasons.

We sometimes called it Koala poo as it has a similar stench/ strength smell.

I know the kind of stuff you mean .
The red hairs are prolly because the commercial growers pick it early before the calyxes swell . Picked at 6 weeks instead of 9 .

Thanks for sharin

EB .

 

[ozza]

...I will say that you can smoke it exclusively for months on end and it seems to never lose it's "kick".... Just not the effect I was looking for.

This is what I was looking for mostly.


I could go on, but I'm starting to feel like maybe there is an emotional sides war going on here.

Hey Pinkus do you want to show us any of these skunk dominant crosses?

I'd appreciate it.

Yeah E Bud I sorta of suspected that because when I saw it done properly it had bigger calyx's, making it look a lot more like a cheese type, and a lot more debilitating then the head rushy giggley I seemed to remember.

 

[harry74]

Hey, Ozza, Elmer could help you. Shanti has Afghan stinky genetics.

You could ask for the Afghani male(s) "given" to Soma; I think Devil has some Stinky phenos ( Afghan X Afghan/Skunk) acording to some.... I guess most of his Afghans come from Neville.

Any info to share Elmer???

Cheers

 

[Wu Wei]

Hey, Seriously guys if your looking for that pungent afghan skunk then get the cheese cut, there are obviously people in your part of the world with her as Elmer stated.

Peace

 

[ozza]

Wu wei I'm with ya, cheese is the closest I've had for a while and would certainly tide me over for a while. I'm on to the rest if no one gives me a seed I'll get it somehow. (you should all know what I mean) Just would be good to get it the easy way.

Hey ozza, you are the only person I have spoke to out not in the EU to admit the cheese cut is the closest you will get to the real deal!!! I am sure you can obtain her from somewhere? I have heard that kaliman's Cheese #1 is the closest to the real cut that is available in seed form, I am unsure of what its like though?

Peace brother

 

[pinkus]

^^^ Nah. It feels better to bitch about Sam and pretend it was a unicorn.

I have been looking at that and Kaliman has done a terp profile that he says is nearly identical to the original cheese cut. I have looked up exodus, brightside and a lot more. I have attempted to get cheese. I will get it. I queried Big Buddha on it, he seems to think it was different. I've talked to a lot of people breeders and UK dudes about cheese. I tried about ten different sorts of cheese in Amsterdam too. I have always wondered if what the UK lads call the real Exodus cut is just what an Aussie would call Real Skunk.

Hey ozza, sounds very interesting if the terp profile is nearly identical, I am sure if you grew a few out there would definitely be a keeper I can get the blues cut and Psychosis but the guy is holding the cheese... which is not what the strain was intended for!!!! I will have it evan if I have to pay him big money!!!! Didn't big buddha create his from the exodus cut? I enjoy big buddha cheese is sweeter but still mouth watering. That is very interesting and could well be how different countries view it.

Peace brother

 

[ozza]

Yeah well he said it was a skunk plant that was called exodus cheese. He said he crossed it with an Afghani indica. Now he didn't exactly say to me skunk#1, he said skunk. It was a quick convo so he could of just left off the #1 while talking. Got me to thinking though that maybe the skunk plant/ seeds weren't actually from a skunk #1 but from a skunk before Sams version.
I did have it in a seed form (I mean an RKS) It looked a lot like Cheese I just remember less hairs. Could be the mental clarity though?

 

[unregistered190]

For those of you outside of North America who might wish to know what an actual skunk (the animal) smells like... just bring your cat to the vet and ask them to "express" its anal glands. The smell that comes from a cat's anal glands is VERY similar to the actual skunk's anal gland smell.

That smell is NOTHING at all like the sweet smell that is associated with the strains called "Skunk" in common parlance.

Real (animal) skunk smell is unique for sure.....so unique I actually enjoy the smell when riding down a country road and catch a whiff! Just hate that usually there is a dead one around when I smell it.

Not sure how El Gato will like it

EB .

El Gato will be pissed I am sure

Hey ozza, hmm that dose make me think too? A skunk plant? Big buddha cheese certainly has the exodus charecteristcs or are charecteristics like the exodus? Hmmm? Did you not decide to keep the RKS going from cutts? I have never smoked the RKS but I would love to compare!

 

[Wu Wei]

I actually only just realised what RKS stands for - road kill skunk! I had the impression that sam named the skunk #1 RKS (but I did not understand the meaning) and people called it skunk #1. The first time I have ever heared the expression road kill skunk is in this thread. In the uk we just call it cheese!

Peace
