Road Kill Skunk BX1
Also known as: RKS BX1, Roadkill Skunk BX1, Road Kill Skunk Back Cross 1
Road Kill Skunk BX1 Strain Overview
Road Kill Skunk BX1 is a cannabis strain developed by ITC Genetics and described as mostly sativa-dominant with a 70/30 sativa to indica ratio. This strain represents a backcross generation aimed at preserving the genetics of the legendary Road Kill Skunk variety that has been sought after since the 1980s and 1990s. The lineage is listed as RKS 1988 crossed with Fart Blossom RKS DOM Male BX1, suggesting it's a backcross of original Road Kill Skunk genetics from 1988. ITC Genetics claims to hold "the one and only Road Kill Skunk" that was thought to be a lost skunk variety.
The strain exhibits the characteristic features of traditional skunk varieties, with an intensely pungent aroma profile described as "Hot Rubber, Road Kill, Old school Skunk Spray, Rotten meat". Plants are described as strong, short, stocky plants with extreme branching that grow fast and vigorous, performing well whether topped or untopped, and requiring extra calcium and magnesium. However, cultivation reports suggest inconsistency issues, with growers reporting phenotype instability showing both indica-dominant (2/6) and sativa-leaning (4/6) expressions, indicating the strain may need additional backcrossing for stability.

Road Kill Skunk BX1 Strain Growing Information
Road Kill Skunk BX1 can be cultivated indoors, outdoors, and in greenhouse environments with a flowering time of approximately 70 days (9-12 weeks or 63-85 days). Plants exhibit strong, short, stocky structure with extreme branching, grow fast and vigorous, and perform well when topped or untopped. They require extra calcium and magnesium supplementation. Expected stretch is 20-40% during flowering. However, this strain was never available as feminized seeds from ITC Genetics. Cultivation difficulty appears moderate, though germination reports show small seed size with 6/10 sprouting rate and slow initial growth to fan leaf and node development. Some growers reported low yields and inconsistent terpene expression, with some phenotypes showing mild, sweet, fruit terpenes rather than the expected skunk profile.
