I'm also embarking on my last little project for some time. My aim is to try and find the elusive 'road kill' pheno of skunk. Also as part of this journey I'm going to make some Jack Herer x skunk (after Flowamasta's grows). I will be documenting the process in here so you guys can help me choose the mum's and dad.
So, I was gifted some old seeds that I was told are from original parent seed stock of the strain 'Shit' by Mr Nice. Apparently the road kill pheno can be found by using these seeds to cross with original afghani from Sensi. I also have some of sam the skunk man's original skunk from around 2000. The Afghani seeds I have are from around 2000 as well, these were very cheap back in the day from Marc Emery.
So, to start with, I'm going to find a suitable (smelly and dank) female afghani as, in my experience, the male passes on a lot of the terpene profiles when being crossed, so I want the male to be the skunk. It will be difficult, but I will be picking the stinkiest and latest showing male, in the hope it carries the road kill terpene profile and then crossing it to the afghani. Out of 20 seeds of Sensi afghani, I only ended up with 5 seeds that sprouted, these seeds have been in my fridge for god knows how long so I'm not surprised. Hopefully that doesn't stuff my chances. I also sprouted some afghan kush from white label just to see if they have any resemblence and can be used. Here's a pic of the hopeful seedlings so far. Only a week from sprouting.

For the second part of the project, I'll be crossing Jack Herer from Sensi, also to the skunk male. I hope to find a similar structured and poitent plant to what Flowamasta usedto grow. I always loved his plants and his weed was extremely potent. So I popped 14 Jack Herer seeds and I ended up with 9 (culled one due to being too sativa looking). My goal is to find the indica dom pheno female and use it to cross to the skunk. Here's a pic of the Jack's, they are at 10 days since sprouting.

If anyone has any questions or wants to chime in to help me choose the girls/boy, please feel free
