The skunk from back in the 80's was definitely indica dominant. The best way to describe the smell was the first wif of skunk dead on the road. Not the wear a mask acrid smell up close putrid smell. But it definitely maintained that first wif stank. Back in October of 1989 I took a fresh harvested skunk bud, still had leaves attached over to a friend's house. When I walked threw the front door and closed it behind me my buddy walked out of his bedroom upstairs and could smell it as soon as I walked in. Hahaha. The wind that time of year must have blown past me and immediately filled the room with that skunk smell. We laughed for 10 minutes because he couldn't believe how quickly he smelled it. Another member here seems to have found one very similar to the original. He calls it #3. He smoked the same strain back in the day from the same grower so I am optimistic. Hope it pans out.
One last note, a close friend back in the day ordered from Nevils seed bank, but never got what he tried to order. I said call the number and ask for an update saying they never arrived. 3 weeks later a package arrived of what was supposed to be Durban poison, it had a local postmark from the next county over. The 2 female plants ended up being the skunk he was already getting. We were surprised to say the least.

i'm in my sixties, so i have a good recollection of real thai & skunk from the late seventies whenever it did came around from pennsylvania , Illinois or south Indiana & Ohio, or the little bit of skunk weed grown here in my home state.
i really doubt that anyone under the age of fifty has ever seen the real deal...crosses, hybrids ...maybe, but the real old skunk was nearly seedless,odorous and as distinctive as thai was, at least what i had acquired at the time anyway.
to come across a seed, it would've been as valuable as a fifty caret diamond...
seems like no one bothered to keep a cut going or pass it around as i have been trying to acquire one for over thirty years with no luck.

The rks I had from 96'/00' was stocky, definitely grew like a bush, medium structure, fatish leaves but not huge by any means.
Turned yellow a bit nearing finish. Was done at 50 days .
I've had friends pull huge yeilds. Had only ran it in hydro ever.
Used gh 3 part in that era, with rockwool blocks.
It was called Trinity, was gifted cuts in 96, while living in Kansas City, Missouri.
Had given clones to some KU students. I know one had it a few years after I lost it.
Was for sure around in 03'ish
Here's are some reports from an old thread.. was also in one of the old big book of buds . Was said to be the loudest skunk ever. And in 20+ plus years looking for it again, I agree. Nothing has come even close, and I'm still obsessed. Still looking to skunk lines etc, and still popping beans

I wonder if the reason as to why the RSK, Trinity, and Sweet Skunks got all of the old timers so lit is due to the complex terpene profiles which induced that sweet nauseous smell. It seems most of these sought after qualities now have been breed out when people were only looking for the berry, sweet, diesel, and citrus terpenes. It seems that new breeders and growers have simply sought after the highest yielding THC strains and throw the terp's to the curb, I won't lie, I was guilty of that as well when I first started growing. I personally think that all of the old potent skunks are long gone due to our own selective breeding. But, perhaps with enough time and revenue, a personal grower could comb through the phenotype's and piece back together a relic of the old skunk.

curse of the 90's.
The rks would just ruin a house .
4 plants n the basement, and your front door reaked after 4/5 weeks of bloom.
By harvest u could smell it n the street and down the road.
People were getting busted left n right, and the skunk faded out .
That being said, everyone wanted the skunk then aswell. The euro Banks realized that and skunk1 was breed into everything .
People started buying from euro Banks and instead of getting rks skunk, they got a plethora of other great genetics.
Lotta landrace sativa's then.
People wanted something shorter, that stank like a skunk with faster bloom times.
DJ short came with the blueberry stuff, Dutch/euroBanks had the bubblegum ak amnesia haze ssh slh etc etc, aswell as the Afghan/Hindu Kushs,White widow etc and that kinda led to things as they are .
Once growers found plants that were more stealth and indoor friendly, the rks took a backseat .
I never thought it would disappear, but it's fucking gone.
I'm sure it's somewhere, just hope it's the next cookie/glue.

I think its a phenotype of afghani/hybrid?

There is
Plenty of almost skunks out there .
Some chems, iss,mss,fester, green alien(rareaf) there are plenty .
But even they are few n far between imo.
Some say columbian .
think it came from the old hightimes seed catalogue. Sssc stuff from the 80's.Don't know . Hopefully the nature farmer or Duke get it figured out n dialed in.
Fingers crossed
Definitely not kush dominant I know that
Wasn't just the smell either. Shit was potent as hell, amazing high and u never got immune to it. Could smoke it daily for years n it would kick your ass every time .
I know it sounds like a fairy tail but just my 2¢

Here's a thread I started in 09'. Lol. Think I had grow journals when I had her on here too before then but they are long gone .
Could of been another forum
Can add, bodhi's Trinity x startrain.. his cut was an Asian mafia cut, not the rks Oregon cut.
JJ from top dawg, supposably has/had it.. chinacat sunflower was a tds cross.
Subcool list it n bloodwreck, but after talking to him around 2008, he admits he's not sure, that it was just in the growroom with another possible pollen donor.(cut I had never pollinated(hermied) so pretty positive it wasn't used to creat bloodwreck .
Have grown bw, it's not in there.
Couple other breeders have claimed to use it over the years, but those packs are long gone if even legit.

I think indicas come from middle east and sativas from asia and that skunk is a phenotype or hybrid of it? To be honest dont think there is anything new under the sun all the kush,gg,og,skunk,cookies have been around for 1000 of years more or less?There is

No.
These polyhybrids have not been around long .and alot of the landrace genetics have become mutted or lost.
Sativa's are found all over the globe, as are indicas. Obviously certain regions produce or favor certain genetics.
I'm just a stoner, not a expert on shit. But that's my lil story.
I'll stop clogging this awesome thread

I figure from descriptions as well as demographics at the time I'd say its probably a Mexican red crossed with some Afghan strain. As for the EU breeders, I don't think that Neville ever got his hands on true RKS, just some dank phenotype of it. If he really did, then I'm sure someone who has popped a plethora of skunk#1's would've found it by now. Perhaps they already did, but the truth has become a legend and the legend is more than the truth, so people still keep hunting the legend. Who knows, all I know is the dankest weed I've ever smoked was a skunk strain. Smelled of pure lemons with that putrid dead on the road skunk. I swear I was high for two days. After I started growing and got comfortable with it, that's the one plant I've been pursuing... @Useful Seeds has a Skunk crossed with an Orange, so I am excited to see what comes of it!

The skunk comes from Afghan but there is alot of Afghan strains in the region that have sweet fruity smells like all other landraces, the skunk#1 is something the EU made the genetics behind it are not the RKS beside the afghan heritage.

Cheese is coming back!
A lot of folks in the US haven't seen much Cheese, but there was a badass cut someone was growing in Sonoma that made it into the shops that produced an awesome og like rollercoaster high with a sharp cheddar cheese funk to it. Always wanted a cheese after smoking that stuff. Hoping the Hazeman bx will fill that role.
