I personally have found that if you don’t have absolute control of your temperature and vapor pressure deficit in the room you will fight the lights! That’s based on personal experience, I am not saying that you can’t dial them in but as they come there are issues that people either don’t talk about or just happen to have the right environment to support the extra needs of the plant. VPD is critical with leds so controlling temp/humidity balance for that uptake as you stated. Honestly it just bothers me that you have to feed so much extra magnesium also. I have been running all led (Mix of Logic pucks and strip panels I made) for the last couple years and had fine quality results but donkey dicks they weren’t!
JBC is a great place to order from. Haven’t seen as many AKBB options at other banks, but I don’t know em all.
I’ve got a NL1/Big Skunk x NL1 going outdoors right now. I’m overdue on a pic update, but that’ll come at another time. Chugging along through flower, looking to throw big colas. Very healthy and vigorous. Took well to multiple toppings. Still have a few weeks yet to go. Some dank fruity /berry undertones. Deep green leaves. Fat fingers.
AKBB is such a rad dude! His TKNL5HAZE haze work is exactly what your probably thinking.... incredible herb. He gave me a NL#5 cut thats from a bus driver in a nearby alaskan town of ours in 1993 and that dude had it for years prior to that. AKBB has legit and trusted genetics. Hes a very kind and passionate which shows in his offerings. When my grow burned down he was the first to help as he has helped many others. Unsung hero kinda dude for sure. We need to support folks like this!! Buy any of his seed.... its all

I've got a TKNL5Haze & Darian Gap harvest under my belt, in the middle of the grow cycle I lost power to my house for three days. I have very little natural light in my house and there wasn't much I could do to get adequate light on the plants. Long story short, three of the other plants threw nanners and the two AK plants finished fine. The Darian gap is the strongest smoke I've had in years.

I’ve only ran through 2 packs of his......Tknl5haze and blk dom bx. No nanners for me. Maybe I was just lucky ?
I would say it's because they're stoned. If it's a shit harvest or something goes wrong they would do what you have done - make a post lamenting about a waste of time and money.
I get it, you're pissed and you have a right to be. You've grown a lot of his gear too so I know you weren't quick to judge. I know you don't do ig, but have you considered contacting akbb personally through email? Tell him what you've grown, send him pics, and ask for his advice. He's quick with his response.

I simply asked for a picture. Relax teddy bear
No, you called bullshit don't act like that isn't being aggressive.
"I'm just joking, bro, relax" gtfo.
I get it man. It's good to have counterpoints so this isn't an echo chamber circle jerk. Still sucks though.
I'm still going to buy his seeds but my eyes will be open.

Honestly I'd had about the same luck teddy bonkers had. I really wanted the TKNL5Haze to work, but two grows and they threw bananas both times and seeded my whole grow. Low yields and no odor at all. Very strange compared to everyone else's. I'm just wondering why this happened to some of us and not others. I have his Golden Showers going now and so far everything looks good. Nice big donkey dick for a main cola, and no nanners yet. It's about 50 days in to flowering. I have a buttload of AKBB's beans but I'm holding off for awhile because I'd just like to have some smoke that's not loaded with immature seeds.

Noticed any Nanners??? I see some have been reporting Hermi Issues, so I messaged him 5 minutes ago, and asked if he noticed and Hermi Issues, and told him there is a thread here on RIU he may want to look into, as some are reporting Hermi Issues.
None whatsoever. Honestly, as an outdoor only grower without streetlights or anything else around, nanners are not even on my radar. My face is in my plants every day, never seen ‘em.
