Been tempted by KOS – Red Russian Skunk F2… anyone tried?
> DESCRIPTION
*> *
> When this hybrid first popped up in Northern California I was in those parts on a seasonal basis. It was called Red Russian originally. As I understand it, she was created by some breeders growing her adjacent to the Russian River. Quickly, as her uber Skunk clones were grown outdoors around N. Cali (Humboldt/Mendo) she became known as Skunk, duh. Within that genotype’s (RR Skunk’s) terpene range has always been a very Piney type, and a serious sour Body Oder type along with Skunk types.

> From 20 females I have grown from the original seeds I received, I have gotten 2 legit Road Kill type Skunk females. When I made these F2’s I used a single male—easy choice—and three different females. I used one Road Kill, one Piney, and one (barf me out) sour body-odor/funky-feet variant. However, I used 2 clones of the Road Kill female, and single clones of the other two. The chances for the Road Kill should be fairly good here in these F2s, however, not common.

> The Road Kill variant tends to favor the classic Christmas Tree morphology. It sometimes seems to grow slower overall than siblings, but not to fear, she likes to build big roots and big buds. Spot on Road Kill Skunk terpenes/smells, no ifs ands or buts. Extra frosty as well. Back in the early 80’s this Road Kill Skunk was also highly mold resistant. I have not tested this thoroughly regarding mold yet, but my breeder plants (from original seeds I received) endured some fairly high humidity during flowering and showed no issues with any of the plants. However, any long IBL line (especially if BX’d), is normally not very mold resistant when it comes to outdoors in humid environments; like coastal.
