Search for RKS

I'd f5 ibl it so it was stable uniformed and send it to everyone here and other friends in the states/ Canada and family in Scotland. What was thought as lost should it be found I would get it out everywhere so it couldn't be lost again. Provenance would be from me and blokes saying they had this cut would have to prove it came from me or you blokes here I shipped too. The rks snake oil salesman business bankrupt and finished overnight.
No $$$$ to be made, I am comfortable in life and happy with the fortunate life I have so I'd get it out for everyone to enjoy and old school fellas to be able to relive their youth.
So, here’s a question for everyone: If you were actually lucky enough to find *the* representation of RKS everyone is looking for, what would you do with her? Pass the cut out freely? Make S1s or crosses, and start your own seed company? Team up with your favorite breeder for crosses? You know you could probably name your price, especially right now in the canna world.

That's my two boys worth should to the question pondered. If I'm lucky enough to find the holy grail that's what I'd do.

Im officially beginning my search, the start of a long, long journey i imagine.
Cuts, cuts, cuts,,,,,
Now to decide on a thread name lol.
"Searching for Pepe le Eww" lol.

I'm rooting for you bro! I wasn't a smoker back when Skunk was still around with proper smells and I'd love to get to try it one day! Given my love of Cheese I imagine I'm gonna love it :) absolute best of luck in your hunt bro!

That is me 100%. Im not rich but Im not hurting either...I wouldn't ask a dime for the holy grail if I found it...Speaking of, this Shoreline I got going is starting to stink old schoolish. Not RKS but definitely skunk.

Oh nice! I'd love to smell that lol! I was born in the early 80s, so I have a little recollection of smelling what I thought was a Skunk, and being told it was not actually a Skunk but weed. So the scent is something I'm really hoping to one day find so I can try it.

I've heard good things about shoreline. Been wanting to order for a bit, he had a deal with a few and red if I remember said plaza boss was awesome. Another fella that's meant to have dank, almost rks is texacannacreations and his screwed up skunk. He has a few but the one I mentioned is meant to be really close.

I look at it this way, would you rather the respect that everyone says he found it again brought it back and gave it to all so it never gets lost again? Or the bloke that tries to get a motza when to be honest we don't really need it. I'm happy to be the first guy, I try and teach my kids to have a moral compass. I'm no jesus but I'm no Satan either. Id rather be like the bloke in Rudyard Kipling's poem "IF" than Rupert Murdoch. Im Just a bloke trying to teach my kids, grow my food and kuta cannabis and enjoy life away from the masses. Pretty simple life. Someone will find it, or recreate it. Trust in yourself. Nice journal by the way.

So a website in England has Exodus Cheese seeds, and in like 7 months it'll be my Birthday, so instead of new Fishing Gear, I may be taking a crack at that for next season; I kind of feel like a Skunky Phenotype of that is entirely possible. I really don't know if I'll be able to get them, but if I can, and I end up with enough, maybe you guys can do a preservation run and phenohunt that ? The "Cheese Lore" says Exodus Cheese was the first Cheese ever, so, it "should" be basically Skunk #1 before they tried changing the scent (I mean can you imagine trying to change the scent of Cheese ??? I don't think I've seen a filter actually knock that smell out LOL).... I know I've mentioned this a few times, but I really do feel like Cheese strains could help with the hunt. Either by a sprout ending up smelling like a straight Skunk, or, by breeding it back into Skunk seeds to bring out those aromas again ?

I have a theme song ready !

Don't you mean they found the pheno "cheese" in skunk #1. So exodus cheese is the pheno they found in skunk #1. That's how it evolved. Remember skunk #1 was worked by sam skunkman I believe several filial before being released. Skunk 1 is a fruitier version on the rks he found. For what it's worth it's early here, I'm getting kids ready for school and trying to remember convos I've seen. I believe I read Sam said he had rks seeds but couldn't be bothered going back to work that line. Neville from Neville's haze was mentioned in the thread with the convo. Imagine or somewhere still has it. I believe your best bet is to look at trade/flight routes destinations around the time they found it. World was alot bigger and not as readily explored. Afghan definitely, Thai maybe and central/south American probably went into the make up. They used what was available at the time to breed with.

Thinking you're going to breed back a trait that was bred out is going to be a long stretch. Not saying you can't, the genetic code is there passed down if somewhat recessive. But hey don't die wondering. Nothing ventured = nothing gained.

I would love to see your hunt for every cheese strain on the planet. You'd be the cheese guru. Imagine that blokes hunting for cheese and you're the provenance king.
Happy hunting

Yeah I probably should have worded that as "Cheese is Skunk" LOL.

But yeah I've read about Skunk #1 for a multitude of personal reasons / personal interest in that line (I mean Cheese obviously is a huge part of that) but I also liked the dude who did that; I read an interview with him and he was like totally humble about it. I know from what I've personally read, that Afghani (Which doesn't really narrow too much down given how many land race strains probably grow there) would be the most likely to produce the smell we would expect.

There's a web site, the Indian Land Race Exchange, and they go and get seeds from farmers in a bunch of areas, and take pictures, and even have a part telling you what Phenotypes they have seen from the seeds.


Flavours reported on different phenotypes of mazari almost cover most things which can be smelled off of a cannabis plant. In order of frequency of occurrence intrapopulation wise – Fermented fruits/sweet melon Diesel/earth foul/rotten protein, sewage sludge like foul smells, which are rarely to be smelled as the dominant smells.

^ I mean shut up and TAKE my money right? LOL. But that tells me that it's entirely possible that, bred with others, like the Sativa strains you mentioned, could indeed lead to what became known as Skunk #1. Now, I'd consider something like this a labor of love; As you rightly said; There's "theoretically" a chance of finding that, but I wouldn't expect a pat on the back and stock in some weird cookies thing either LOL. But being how Cheese came from Skunk, I have a hefty respect for the guys here that are searching for it.

I think personally some of the smells, particularly when they mention "Acrid" that stand out, and from what I know of Skunk #1, that wasn't just him tossing a male in with some females and breeding the resulting plants; From what I understand he bred and selected plants for multiple generations before he found and released Skunk #1. That's a LOT of work. I have a healthy respect for the effort that was put in to it, and I would really love to see someone find it again.

I personally don't know what the monetary value of RKS would be these days, though I've heard there's a lot of interest, but personally? I'd send it to everyone here free. And then maybe cut a clone and see if I could trade a clone of it for access to a lab to "play" with some Cheese and Chem LOL. I'd love that haha!

Thank you :)

At the end of the day, I really want to smoke some REAL Skunk. But in what I mean by real, I want to to stink LOL. I have to admit I would love for a TCP/IP Sniffer to allow actual smells to be sent over the internet cause the closest thing to Skunk I've personally seen, is a Blue Cheese I did this passed season.

I know I talk about that one a lot, but it's just so intriguing the way it smells; Like a dead skunk and Cat Piss..... And some sweet berries on the back end, but VERY low level.... The pungency of the Skunky Cat Piss is the dominant scent for sure.
