98% germination rate. The ones that had issues were completely my fault. This is a very busy time of year for me so updates will be slow... Got indoor and outdoor going at the same time. Really stepping up my guerilla game in the hills this year.

Wow not many rocks. As a new englander I'm amazed. I practically hit a boulder every time I dig holes that size.

Been wanting to try that cat piss... I would love to give 707's catpiss a whirl. Heard it was pretty darn good, would like to cross akbbs to 707, that would be a good one, I bet.

Never tried any other vashon gear but from the looks of it they have some nice, solid old school kush ghani genetics. I am very excited for that one. The vashon kush beans were some of the largest I have ever seen in my life. The size of large peas.
JBC had a stealth drop of Vashon recently, some nice genetics.. def gonna grab something next month

I think I am going to F2 a 12 pack of Purple Urkle x Super Skunk and see what we get. The objective I am trying to accomplish is to recreate a Purple Skunk. I have a really fond memory of smoking a joint of purple skunk while fishing that made me have to sit down it was so damn stoney! Im hoping the Super Skunk is some old stock and has some musky/skunky terps to it (that real dankness) and the purple urkle brings a purple pheno with heavy frost and tight bud structure. If I could find one of those in this pack, id be so damn happy, and if not then ill keep looking in the F2's! How I plan on accomplishing this is to pheno hunt the entire pack. By growing them to about 5 nodes, then taking 2 clones per plant. I can throw 1 back into the tent to be vegged and flowered for the open pollination (this is where I get the F2's). The 2nd clone is taken just in case the first one dies, and the seed mothers are kept vegging. I figure by keeping the seed mothers in veg for that long, the males will show themselves (most of them anyway), so I can cull them (looking for moms, not pops!).

Just had to add, I've had great germination with Mattycakes, (NL5/NL1)/NL1, NL5/NL5. There were a couple that weren't able to pop that seed off, but they all germinated. There has been at least one extra in everything I've gotten from akbb too. The NL's took a little longer, but everything germinated. +1 good beans

Had that experience last summer! My buddy and I were getting in a little fishing and he pulled out a fatty of sour og. Not only did I have to tap out but had to sit down for about 15 min. That was some potent weed and the fishing trip was stellar!

Hope you find that purple skunk.

Just ordered the TKNL5 haze NL dominate he just released. Wonder how it compares to the TK dom...
I imagine you'd see a difference in structure for one. The TK dom should have that lankier OG structure. The NL dom should be a tighter squatter indica structure.... I'm guessing they'll look more like the pictures @HamNEggs recently posted of Consumption ( NL5H x TKNL5H). I suppose it's stating the obvious, but the TK dom should be like an OG and the NL dom would be some different sort of non-OG indica.

I just started to listen to the potcast with Mr. Bob Hemphill (they always include the "Mr." part...what's up with that). He's into the same kind of old genes AKBB is and has already talked quite a bit about Northern Lights. Worth a listen for AKBB peeps. AKBB's potcast episode is of course mandatory listening too.

forgot to mention that AKBB said the TK dominant tknl5haze is more sativa and the NL dominant is more indica
+1 right on nutbag poster, also in the potcast I think he talks about them as being haze dominant and the others NL dom. But they are listed as TK dom.

Its funny as the male you guys have seen is pretty compact but the lady went boom! She is a big ol' lanky thing. Not a mess but tall and wide.

Very common
He's chosing breeders for phenotypical expression but you will still get the other phenos but more/most will lean toward chosen parents. In theory anyway...

The consumption is an F2 so yeah this makes sense. Normally though I would expect to see more uniformity.
