The real seed company or afghan selection. You will have to pheno hunt for it

i always thought the skunky came from the columbian because the afghanis we had no similarities at all to the skunk 1. sweet as hell to skunk not at all sweet, and the height and structure were closer to the columbian.

any plant can have it if you did pheno hunting in lines that are known to have it. like you can find cat piss ammonia in afghani and hazes and other strains aswell and other flavor likes pineapple, mango, blueberry etc

maybe in todays genetics. the real skunk in the 80s wasnt a hidden pheno. we had bags of seeds and there were no different phenos in there. all skunk! taste and smell
I only smoked Colombian back in the day a few times although I smoked a LOT of it; not because it was that good but because it was a seedy mess and sold for dirt cheep. I smoked a lot of Panamanian weed too, that was when I was down there, although I had my hands on QP's of Columbian once in the states too. I'm trying really hard to remember if it tasted like skunk or not, but nothing is standing out really. I'm not saying nothing down there was skunk, Obviously I didn't come close to sampling everything. And here in the states, holy fuck have I smoked a ton of tex mex, or even tons of really nice looking fresh Mexican weed that looked and smelled almost good enough to compete with some of the stuff coming out of humbolt, it just wasn't as dense or all that frosty. The Humbolt/Santa Cruz skunk was more in your face Skunky smelling than anything I've ever gotten from South of the Border and than includes Central American weed.
Of all the weed that I've dragged home over the years that was the one that my wife commented on as being one that stunk up the house the worst just by being in the house. (been married over 30 years and with her a while before that) Before I met my wife the East Coast Roadkill was around and it Stunk like a DeadAss Skunk and tasted like one too. The West Coast skunk Stunk like a mo fo, but was sweet when you smoked it.
I've smoked and grown the SK #1 in various versions and never would I call that RoadKill. Skunk sure, but not roadkill, it was a different smell and flavor. And again I'm not saying it's not in there too, just that I have never seen what I would personally call Roadkill in the SK #1. But, It's completely possible that what I think of as Roadkill is something else. Early to mid 80's East Coast Roadkill was skunk ass flavor and skunk ass smell, that's what I think of when I say RoadKill and sadly I do not know the origin of any of that old weed, it was everywhere when I left Michigan for California, I wasn't back to Michigan for a few years and it was just gone after that and I never saw it again.
It's a cool mystery anyway and I hope somebody finds the real deal and brings it back to life. I think this guy is right though. It's probably in the Afghani or Kush line maybe, cheese I can believe because that's the one that gets closest to me in flavor at times. It's also possible the Skunk you are looking for is completely different than the one I rememeber, who knows. My taste buds aren't the best and I was stoned a lot back then. lol
Maybe it's in here. These are old enough. Purple Indica x Sk #1 and Indica x Sativa. (the indica was some kind of Kush the Sativa was probably panamanian. LOL These won't start they are way too old, I've got some marked SK #1 that were something like F10 or something along with who knows how many others. Same thing though, too old and not taken care of, nothing but a souvenir now. If I had ever thought that people would want these old genetics I would have taken much better care of them.

You should try to germinate a lot. May not be a good ratio of viable seeds, but worth a try
Thanks for the suggestion but I've tried all kinds of things to get them back to life. Oxygenated water, hydrogen peroxide and like you said, just try a shit ton of them in different ways. I had jars full of feminized ones too. Well "feminized" or should I say had a durban poison that liked to toss nanners back then. Most of them are regs though.
The thing though is that most of these old lines of mine were worked into newer lines so they actually are still around inside the stuff I grow now but what's left of SK #1 in a plant that's been crossed and re-crossed with for that long? When I first started running these I only had access to a few really good strains and crossed and re-crossed them a lot, then one by one I added new strains when I had a chance. I found that if I wasn't adding new genetics into the mix every so often I'd find my potency dropping, losing vigor, etc. Probably a lot of that was just sloppy breeding but either way, it's what happened. So the strains I have today still have this old stuff in them, but not much and a long way back.

different regions in afghan have different smells. Some hash,diesel,fruit,skunk,burnt rubber,catpiss,ammonia,rotten fruit, nuts, spicy, grapefruit, sweet, citrus, earthy, coffee, kush, mint, pine etc...
Plus different afghans have wide and narrow leafs and some grow tall and other short.
afghans hold alot then what people just think of as a short wide leaf sweet hash smelling strain lol
Well said, there are all kinds of Afghani plants. Guys that go over there seed hunting find a lot of plants with what we think of as typical Sativa Growth patters all the time.
I always assumed the early Afghan strains running in Amsterdam were the short fat ones because those early breeders were breeding for short season stuff, so that's what they went looking for. Same thing when it came to what people wanted here. Everyone wanted the magical 45 day wonders that would knock you on your ass. And I mean everyone wanted the Indica to grow at least for indoor. Hybrids too but most people wanted super short growth cycles and in Amsterdam they needed ones that would finish outdoors too. The Durban was quick for a sativa, none of them were really 45 days, but some of them did finish up really quick. And in the hybrids they were adding the afhani to shorten up they cycle, they already had access to all the Sativas anyone could ever wish for back then. I wonder if those early growers ever worked with the long season strains from this area or not?

Anyone here heard of or tried Blue Skies Vienna Roadkill Skunk?
I've been following him on Ig, but don't know much about him other than Matt Riot calling him out as a scammer.

I remember when early girl and silver pearl hit the scene in the 80s. My dad and his buddies were crossing them with everything they had. Greenharvest forced a change in plant needs for growers.
I am finishing a two year side project with some of their older sativa dominant strains. Id say true sativa dominant, looong flower time huge stretch. And some will try to regrow in mid October after looking finished.Thinking its gonna go thru short-short season. Best when done in light dep if not in the sub tropics or tropics. Otherwise doesn't reach full potential. Full size in full term but smaller less awesome buds. Psychedelic kinda high and no ceiling to its effects. You just get higher baby higher baby. Ive gotten ridiculously uncomfortably high and kinda nauseous cause I kept puffing all day long. My buddies say the flower ruins dabs for them cause it will cut thru the dab high.
Skunky! You could smell them about 300 feet from road. I smell them now outside everytime the big can fan exchanges the grow room air. Taste is kinda like off road diesel spilled on fresh asphalt thats baking in the sun-delicious! Unreal terpenes coat your mouth and palate.
In my opinion most modern genetics and virtually all legal rec weed, taste good not great and have a short duration high. Best smoke is the old timers with their no name OG strains theyve had for decades. Its a shame that i gotta lie and come up with a name to sell it. Ill just call them crosses of this or that. Otherwise buyers are less interested.

I follow people on IG who bought the seeds and they were bashing him after growing them. Besides that, how would a European even know what roadkill junk smells like?

i bought a pack for the shits n grins. only payed 150$ for 15 pack of s-line #2 he offers and came with a 20 seeds of pheno hunter pack. hell after one
ounce sell ill make my money back sooo not to bother if its legit or not, may find something neat anyhow if they are truly oldtimer1 genetics.
have so much stuff i don't know when ill run them...
will be running them along side MasterThai Uncle Fester Skunk #1 (from him not thenaturefarms selection) and 707 Seedbank CatPiss.. soo will be a stinky shit show however.

I didn't know he was a European! Maybe, I should have taken his name more literally.
It probabably shouldn't, but that discredits him in my head. Nothing against Europeans, but stay in your own lane.
I intended to get some of Mel Franks open pollinated Skunk #1 seeds from Todd McCormick, last summer, but our communication was disrupted by the fires in his area.
By the time things returned to normal, I had moved on to something else.
I think his seeds are a great place to start, if your looking for some legit skunk genetics.

I’ve had the capele clone only R2 and I got a pound per 3 outdoors they each had there own half of 3.8 cubic square ft bale.. of crazy stank dank .. I just cracked two seeds yesterday of early skunk x r2 ,got 6 left there regulars. Cracking my c99xblueberry fast next week when I get my lemonade OG x freezeland and eleven roses.. I’m from New Brunswick. I need workhorse strains like R2,freezeland etc. 5-6oz plants bout an ounce per foot of plant outdoors started as a 6-8” cutting rooted a week. Put out June 5th ish harvest mid September
