Road Kill Skunk Strain Overview
Road Kill Skunk is a legendary indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that traces its origins to the 1970s-1990s era, when it became renowned for its intensely pungent skunk aroma. The strain is bred from a cross of Skunk #1 and Afghani genetics, creating a resilient plant that produces squat, greasy plants with dense, hunter-green buds heavily coated in trichomes. The strain's name derives from its notorious ammonia-like, skunky odor that has been described as resembling dead skunk, which can be detected from considerable distances. Road Kill Skunk has become somewhat of a mythical strain in cannabis culture, with debates about whether true genetics still exist or have been lost to genetic drift over the decades. Multiple breeders including Sensi Seeds, CannaVenture Seeds, and others have attempted to recreate or preserve the original phenotype. The strain represents an important benchmark in indica-dominant hybrid development and is considered a rite of passage for cannabis enthusiasts seeking the classic 'old-school' skunk experience. Its genetic stability and legendary reputation have made it highly sought after, though authentic versions remain rare.
