I'm trying to find this potcast by James (Heimi), do ya have a link?
The RKS i obtained from Todd last year came from Heimi.

WOW! Did you document the grow here, or was it to be kept on the down low? Thoughts?

It's Patreon so you have to pay. The guy is a fellow Aussie and I love his work so am happy to throw him some coin for support. If you sign up there are episodes that are not publicly available and giveaways. They just had 20 packs of Crickets & Cicada gear go out to members (I didn't score one unfortunately).

Not sure this will lead anywhere however maybe someone knows something I don't even after years of ridiculous searching..Road kill Skunk! I believe it's a myth...like a unicorn..I understand people's description AND/OR MEMORIES of said RKS ...but I was actively smoking in the mid 80s thru present and I don't recall any skunk SPRAY smell. There is no other smell in this world that smells exactly like a dead skunk on the road..Don't get me wrong. I've had and still have some very "said" very skunky strains but actual skunk spray smelling weed..Has this all really been a mix up in smell translation? I've been in and out of every rabbit hole ..It comes from a rare skunk 1. I doubt it..foot odor cheesey acrid body odor maybe but not dead skunk spray..it comes from old afghan lines..doubt it..maybe burnt rubber.. gassy but not spray of a actual skunk..It comes from older lines only Mr nice seeds have and you would have to cross this and that and dig dig dig to find it...Pretty sure if that was possible Shanti would have been plastered over every forum on earth with the "real deal"..claim after claim of having the real deal RKS always seems disclaimed by it's just the old played out sweet skunk that was made that way on purpose because carbon scrubbers and this and that was not available! True TRUE ?..? look more like this ?
I remember Christmas break 77 when my best friend came home from UC Santa Cruz with paper grocery bags full of Skunk, mainly fan leaves that would get you fucked up! I was a senior in HS still. It reeked, his van reeked and he reeked. Lucky he didn't get pulled over. That was the beginning of its availability for me and friends. Lasted about 3-4 years and then the berries and diesel/haze arrived.

It was here in sunny so cal and some of it really reeked. Nasty just like a skunk. The smoke didn't have that reek but it was funky pine/earthy compared to the rest which for me was a lot of mex, some gold and Thai and on occasion Hawaiian, which was my #1 back then?

Summer 2020 I was working on a mobile home repipe in Valley Center and where I'd turn off the main road there was a fenced field of "hemp," or so the signs said and it had that same reek, Dead Skunk. It's out there, I bet many are working on it as a lot of people want it.

There is definitely ppl working on it no doubt. Hell alot have already claimed to have it...Big question tho WHEN is phenos going to be available and proven to be what everyone thinks RKS is

My thoughts on this.

I grew up in British Columbia in Canada. The California of Canada. Back in the early 80's we had skunk weed that smelt exactly like skunk spray. There is also a plant out here called western skunk cabbage and it smells the exact same.

Now the term Road Kill is something different from Skunk weed. Skunk weed smelt like skunks and roadkill smelt like rotting animal flesh. The Heimi Cheeba RKS was originally just called road kill. Skunk was not part of the name. That got added later. If you listen to this podcast with Heimi himself you'll see or hear.


So I feel the two are different. There's Skunk and there's Roadkill.

Now Skunks only exist in North America so when the skunk weed hit the UK they called it Cheese because they don't know what a skunk smell like. They don't have any. Same with any where else in the world... No Skunks. (the animal not the weed)

In some places they called strong smelling weed "Skunk" not because it smelt like a skunk but because the odor level was strong.

I have read articles that stated the skunk smell came from volatile compounds within the plant not the terpenes.

I have tried every so called skunk rks type strain and not found what I smoked in High School. I feel that specific cultivar has died and gone the way of the vikings.

There are land race sativas with skunky smells and landrace indicas. I think the final secret is they are hidden in the old land races. Our weed today is too many hybrid crosses with muttered terpene values. To find wha you're looking for go to the old schol landraces and not the ones sold in seed banks.

As many breeders and the mass majorities of ppl that have wanted it and or have tried to find it or recreate it you would think someone would have nailed it by now...So many preservationists these days ,probably more than ever ,all I can do is hope one day I get to try out this skunk spray smoke

Come As You Are
In Eastern Iowa, in both the late 70's and mid-80's there was what most people called "skunk weed" that smelled exactly like a skunk had sprayed and in most cases most people couldn't discern the difference. I don't recall anything I've ever come across as having a "road kill" smell.
The skunk that hit my F-I-L's dog in 2020 had a distinctly different skunk smell than anything I've smelled in the past 20 years with the exception of some stuff a guy at work had that he called simply, "The Loud" that smelled like the old school skunk and yeah, it was loud af, probably the loudest stuff I've smelled since the 90's.
He got fired that day because he stunk up the store we were in so badly, the manager and receiving clerk both called my supervisor and complained.
All I know is he was getting it in Oakland.

That makes sense same kinda thing I have seen. Skunk and roadkill are very different. Find the guy who got fired and tell him he can get rich off his seeds.... if he has any. It was late 70 early 80's that strain was floating around north america.

That guy was a thorn in my side the entirety of his short employment, if I see him again he'll likely get hit.

It exists, somewhere.
