Skunk #1 was developed in the mid 70's at that time they were all skunky. It was reproduced by seed no clones back then.
I selected/reproduced for about ten years keeping the strongest, sweetest ones with the highest leaf to flower ratio and the highest rate of branching on branches, kept just those seeds and used them to select males aand females for the next years pollenations. I never out-crossed. By the time I took it to Amsterdam in 1985, it was mostly sweet, and with selected sweetest clones from 20,000 plants, to make the seeds from then on it stayed that way. It was very common in California and most US states as a skunky variety.
Enough talk about RKS, few or maybe even no one cared enough to kept any clones or seeds of RKS, besides me, so why should I care now? Do you understand I have other work that interests me today?
RKS is not anymore true Skunk #1 then my present sweeter Skunk#1 is, wise up. The taste and highs are different. I created Skunk #1, I decide what is what with my strains, period. I like a sweet Skunk #1 way better then the RKS ones, much better taste and high.
Cultivators Choice was started in Amsterdam, not California. Sacred Seeds is older not CC.
You just want what you can't have. Pretty typical RKS devotee.
BTW, A picture won't mean anything the two Skunk #1 look the exactly same. They smell different, end of story.
Never again this story, ten times is enough,

Hello Sam,
Thanks for stopping by, but while you are here could you answer my questions if you have a minute?
When did it disappear? And how common was it? Was it a clone only or was roadkill skunk pheno quite abundant in a pack of seed?
I have read many stories over the years but want to know some truth. I looked at the old sssc catalog and it says Sk#1 was sweet so I wonder when exactly was it skunky?
So you still have a roadkill skunk clone? if so could you show some pics?
Why do you have no interest in a true skunk these days? besides being wealthy.
Sorry for all the questions. I just like to know strain history.
Thanks.
