This half is under a 630 CMH and the other side is a 600 De HPS, so it's a bit blended.

Spent about an hour training these wild things. There are probably 20 tie downs on each plant 
Beautiful looking plants. The one up front is stretching more than the back, but bending them over almost horizontal seems to have helped a bunch. Secondary branches did do quite a bit of stretching. Plant in the back is just squatty. Both Darien Gap

I wanted to leave a positive exchange I had with AKBB.
Recently, I acquired some seeds that were giving me some issues. I reached out to AKBB and things were sorted in one reply. Totally impressed with his level of "satisfaction guarantee" and communication. Thanks again.

I couldnt stand it any longer. Last week I ordered another pack of the Consumption F2, and asked for more Consumption F2 as freebies, of which he said was ok. My buddy started a 15 3 weeks ago, and had 100% germ rates, so I decided to get him some more to go through of that strain. Its supposed to be a big potent strain.....
So today, I ordered a pack of the NL5/Haze, and hopefully will get extras of that strain. Best stuff Ive see in modern times had NL5/Haze on one side. Id have the market cornered if I still had it. The MALE was a Hashplant x Skunk1 from the late 80s, early 90s.
I still wish AKBB would do a PNWHP/Sk1 along with PNWHP x NL1 ( Bob Hemphill-Puck Yeah ). Only person Ive seen use those similar genetics are Duke Diamond Va/Bob Hemphill....... Skelly Hashplant x Sk1, and his Cuddlefish Hashplant, which is Skellys Sister. Cuddlefish is in Local Skunk. As is Skelly. But DDVA had several strains that used the Skelly/ SSSC Sk1....
Id still like to get AKBB
NL1
Black Domina BX
NL5
89NL
Sk1 x SS

What was used to make the different NL's that are available?
For example, the 89 NL was crossed with what to make seeds?
I think the bx on JBC is NL5 x 89 NL?
Are the NL1 and NL5 different phenos selected/crossed that display traits leaning toward either the 1 or the 5?

NL1 is a IBL True Breeding. NL5, NL2 ect are hybrids. I figure the 89NL may be Sensi Seeds Version of NL5 but may be dead wrong.
Todd McCormick will have the Original NL5 genetics from radagasfarmer, and seattle greg for sale in May
89NL may be Melvanetics via Sensi Seeds from 89.
Deep Ellum Seeds has real deal NL2 from Nevils Seed Bank.

The good folks at akbb told me that as far as they knew the 89nl had never left the Pacific NW.

To confuse me more, his website also lists a NL5 x NL5 that says it's 92' Marc Emery cut x local AK variety. I want the best representation of NL5 he has, it's a little tough to figure out what's what exactly.
I'm looking mainly at his:
NL5 (from his mailing list)
89/NL5 (from his mailing list)
NL5 bx (jbc website)
they all sound great, but what's the most NL5 of the bunch? What is the bx exactly?

The pre-orders have been sold out, sadly. Hoping some become available when he releases them in May.

FWIW, they told me the same. Makes me wonder if it is the same as Greg's original NL1.

For what it's worth, I've grown out his NL5 x NL5 and really enjoyed the resulting smoke, it was the jar I opened the most. I also have a pack of his 89NL which I will be cracking next fall. The NL5 x NL5 had a really nice, soft aroma of playdough and candied roses is the best way I could explain it. The flavor carried over well and the high was really nice. It had some good potency and was uplifting but relaxing at the same time
. Very enjoyable. I don't have any prior experience with the NL5 so I can't really compare it to the original. I did have access to a "Northern Lights" back in the 90's but didn't have any specifics on that, it was just called NL.

Welcome to the NL rabbit hole, lol. I don't know, but am wondering if the NL5 that Neville worked is a little different than the original NL5 from the PNW.
FWIW, as far as I know, Deep Ellum's NL2 is the F3.

Yeah I had to buy 2 packs of the Deep Ellum NL2. Looks like some good genetics, and a fool and their money are soon parted. Its a sickness I tell ya!!!! Its as bad as buying guitar pedals. Maybe worse.

Im not positive but I believe Nevils cut had an extra Afghan breeding in it, and has been quoted as saying he liked his cut better than the original. Thats what some on the Mr Nice forum say. Tough crowd over there.
Some say the NL2 is the best of any of it, but I cant say as Ive never done the NL2.
I know a strain from Dutch Passion named Oasis is NL2, though Ive not grown it.

I've got a shitty memory, but I do believe the
89 NL are the seeds that AKBB was gifted from a woman that had them stored in the ground, in a cabin up in the interior of Alaska.
I'm thinking the grantor of the seeds knew that they had been brought to Alaska via the PNW, before the Dutch got involved.

Do you smoke many heavy hitters of today like the Chems or OG's?
I would like to know how it compares.
I grew NL from Sensi Seeds back in 94.
My keeper pheno was very narcotic like opium.
The kind of weed that envelopes you like a warm sleeping bag, numbs the pain and care of the day, increases sensual arousal, food tastes better and music becomes a 4 dimenensional experience all while glued firmly to the couch, lol.

Yes, I grew out a few Chem (91) and OG (Legend?) crosses from CSI. Those definitely have a solid "stone" to them whereas the NL is/was potent but more like you described with the warm lift but a good head component to it as well. I think a good way to put the NL pheno I had was a more complex, multi-dimensional high vs. the others. The most narcotic plant I grew was an old school hashplant from Bodhi. Strait put your ass to sleep medicine. That one made me literally have to take a seat on the couch one time. Ha.
I also have a C99/Kali Mist cross that is very hard hitting (potency came from C99 I believe), that was a pineapple mind scrambler.

They all sound wonderful, but the C99/Kali Mist sounds like I need to know who the breeder is.
