R.K.S.
Also known as: Road Kill Skunk, RKS
R.K.S. Strain Overview
R.K.S. (Road Kill Skunk) is a legendary hybrid cannabis strain developed by DNA Genetics as part of their global landrace breeding project. The strain was created by crossing three historic landrace varieties: Afghani indica, Colombian Gold sativa, and Thai sativa genetics. This combination resulted in an evenly balanced hybrid with approximately 60% sativa dominance. R.K.S. represents an attempt to recreate the classic 'roadkill skunk' aroma profile that was prominent in cannabis genetics during the 1970s and 1980s but has largely disappeared from modern cultivars. The strain is characterized by its extremely pungent, skunky aroma that is so intense it requires excellent carbon filtration when grown indoors. R.K.S. features light green buds adorned with soft orange pistils and an abundance of sticky trichomes, giving the flowers a sparkling appearance under bright lights. The strain maintains classic old-school characteristics while incorporating modern breeding techniques, making it a bridge between vintage cannabis genetics and contemporary cultivation standards.

R.K.S. Strain Growing Information
R.K.S. is considered moderately difficult to grow and is recommended for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks (55-60 days) indoors and finishes in early October outdoors. Indoor plants typically reach 0.9-1.5 meters (100-150cm) in height, while outdoor plants can grow 1-2.5 meters tall. Expected yields are 400-600g/m² indoors with proper training techniques. The strain responds well to topping and creates an even canopy of buds. Plants are relatively resilient and can handle heat well, making them suitable for various climates. However, excellent carbon filtration is absolutely essential for indoor cultivation due to the extremely pungent aroma. The strain benefits from multi-branch setups and performs well under higher wattage lighting (600w+). Growers should be prepared for the intense smell throughout the growing cycle.
