1959 – 2022 | The Preservationist Who Saved Roadkill Skunk
From 1970s Mendocino communes to Alaska’s underground vaults — Heime collected, backcrossed, and released open-source genetics that still carry burnt rubber clouds today.
Explore His JourneyYoung Heime arrives in Albion, California. Learns seed viability, culling, and open-pollination from hippie growers. Begins collecting landrace seeds like Matanuska Thunderfuck.
At Redwood Run in Garberville, Heime receives the legendary RKS cut from an old couple. Smuggles it to Alaska. "I'm more of a preservationist... the crazy seed collector."
Regenerates 1200 plants every 3 years. Backcrosses RKS to F5 over 7 years. Selects for early trichomes, resinous males. Preserves medicinal lines despite health challenges.
Founds the Cache. Releases limited IBL seeds to trusted breeders. Creates outcrosses: RKS × Bubble Kush, RKS × NYC Diesel. "I believe in open source genetics."
Open Source PioneerHeime passes at 63 in Ketchikan, Alaska. His son and community continue the Cache. The 1970s terpenes live on. "God bless the hippies — they kept it alive."
