For everyone looking for the true, old school, one and only Road Kill Skunk, please check out my thread.
It has been here hiding in the hills of the Appalachias now for ages, deep in the rural Eastern Ky hills and hollers... In my particular region.
There is an old man whom lives around here, him and his family and circle of growers closely affiliated with the Cornbread Mafia had brought it into Kentucky in the mid to late 70s, from where it made its way in across the US/Mexico border.
I wasn't in the game in the 70s, but I know for a fact it has been here since the late 80s, I can confirm that.
In the early 90s, Afghan flooded into the bluegrass hard and heavy. It was faster than skunk which meant farmers could get their crops in sooner which meant an earlier yearly salary, expressed so many phenotypes ranging from almost a dead on road kill smell (but not hardly) to sweet fruity musk, had amazing yields, grew short and bushy and you never found an Afghan phenotype that didn't have good knock out potency, back then anyway...
So here is what happened. This is where the true Road Kill which honestly has zero Afghan relations, got burried so deeply and forgotten.
The real deal, true roadkill skunk is a rotten, nasty, stomach turning, stinky little dirty whore. That's just that and there will never be a sweet note to be found in any of the small variety of phenotypes. The Kentucky skunk had got so many people busted, so many crops got reaped, so many people could not take her out in public due to the extreme pungent odors she put out. You could/can smell this shit from a hundreds of feet away and it was virtually impossible to get away with it once LEO stepped up their game.
That is why it lost, not because it was weak or because it lacked yeilds or anything along those lines, but because in an outlaw state, which at the time all states was outlaw states, you just can't grow the shit and get away with it.
When Afghan made drop in the 90s, everyone replaced the skunk for that very reason, mainly security and stealth purposes. The Afghan on a normal landrace run, would be ready to harvest between mid September to early/mid Octoberish. The Roadkill on the other hand, would run people past the first frosts of the year, into mid October to mid November.
Now here is where people think true road kill has "Afghan Origins"... We had found that in the Afghan Landrace seeds you would find many different phenos... Some really did reek almost as bad as the roadkill... Smelled like a little burnt rubber mixed with skunk spray and sweet chicken shit spread out about the corn and soybean fields. Some phenos smelled like musty soured gym socks and almost all the Afghan always has a sweet back ground note to it, even if it is very sickening sweet. The true road kill, does not, NEVER. It was brought into the states smuggled over the us/Mexico border back in the early 70s possibly even 1969... But didn't really start spreading until the mid 70s. This is why people that have actually had true experience with the real road kill will tell you it is NOT afghan, contrary to belief of a lot of folks. It is likely a Mexican, Colombian, or even south American strain.
When I see people claim they have a road kill with big broad indica leaves, I laugh to myself because I know that's not true. It has skinny narrow leaves most usually with double serrations and long fingers. The plant is very lime green in color and in the sun can flash a bluish green color, as you walk by it. The plant grows medium to tall and has great yeilds, although some phenos can be a little lower yielding. You will always get a straight punch to the face of fresh rotten skunk spray, that will never fail to make you gag. I have never smelled here once in her wet or dry form that she did not make my eyes water and even though I love the smell of skunks driving down the road, it still turns my stomach. Never once have I ever or heard from those who have tried it, claimed anything sweet from it. Its like this... If you put a man in a room, blindfold him. Take a bag with a freshly killed dead skunk and the opposite bag with a fresh or even dry couple of ounces of this stuff and tell him to tell you which is which, he cannot and will not be able to do this. I promise.
I have finally got access to a small pill bottle of seeds from the old man. He had been sick the last couple of years and had been out of the game. His newest batch of seeds, he threw me the bottle and was happy to just be alive. I have never been so blessed to have them and it might be a good thing I did because I have big plans.
I plan to save the true road kill that in most places is already extinct. That is what sparked my interest in this whole thing to begin with, reading a long the forums seeing all of these people spend all of this money and try so hard to obtain the real thing. I have even seen people say that it is non existent now and truly long gone. That's when I had enough, and decided to in some way, some how, bring it back.
So my plans are, to take a quarter of those seeds from the bottle, plant them and let them open pollinate each other to get the numbers and somehow get them out to the public.
I hope to do this in the spring or by next fall at the latest.
I will document it on here, show the few phenos that exist and go from there. So basically, I am just getting started on the whole thing.
Also... As rare as this Kentucky Roadkill is, in my opinion obviously the rarest strain left in existence, I plan to do some cross breeding as well with selected phenos.
I have the Skva chem 91, the confirmed cut by Chemdog, which is also quiet rare. I think it would be nice to cross it over to the road kill. I think that would be an amazing, rare hit.
But for further info on this Kentucky Roadkill, please check out the link I posted in the beginning of this post.
Some will read this, and frown in disbelief, or this may interest some. Honestly, with the frustration that comes along with the never ending loss while searching the road kill, I wouldn't believe it either. From the looks a of it, people are bending over backwards trying to find it.
But I can guarantee, once the time comes and the moment is right, when these finally make it out there, you guys will thank me for it... I'm not here to raise hopes and slam them down I'm here to save the true Road Kill Skunk... I am not a breeder by any means, breeding is new to me and I am in the process of learning. There are tons of people on here that could school me and I will admit that. But what I do know is fact, is we do have the roadkill here in Ky, that I know for a fact people are looking for, and I have the key to open a whole new door in the search for it. Just keep an eye out, she will be abundant in the near future.
