I have a feeling they are related as well.
Many similarities, I would assume it was a highly selected Northern Lights cross.

Some of the best weed came out of Washington and Oregon back in the day, as well as Humboldt.
Seattle was a super hot spot. My one friend, who was in a Seattle gang, used to get such amazing chronic, his friends would ship it to Hawai'i in the early 90's. Insane stuff!! Would sell it in gram bags for $35.
We would regularly pay $150-200 for a quarter back then. And the price didn't matter at all!!!! Would still pay that price to ride that train again!
You truly can't put a price on that kind of quality. The high was such an enlightening and bonding experience. Some great friendships were established when you smoked that kind of herb together.
That just doesn't happen today!

There were a lot of Canadians who made it rich from those prices back in the day. Especially when our dollar was worth in the low 50s compared to the us dollar. 5k a pound suddenly became closer to 10 after it was exchanged. Most of the industry here was solely for south of the border.
NL in my mind seems to be one of those that was so good and used so much for make something "bigger and better" that it was ignored as a stand alone.
You would be hard pressed to find many popular strains today that NL #2 or #5 are not somewhere in their family tree. I recall one being super potent and one yielded. Cant remember which was what lol
I often here people say I only think the weed from back then was better because I am being nostalgic but I am not so sure. We had killer weed in the 90s and while THC potency may of very well gone up I often wonder what has been lost in order to achieve that. There is a lot more to cannabis then THC.
Oh and my 11 Pig Whistle and 11 Night Rider are above ground.(for Greenpoint relevance)
Cheers :)

Did you ever try any MTF back in the 80's?
Most of it was exported to Hawaii and Washington in boxes of frozen salmon.
Hawaii, Alaska and Washington have a very tight connection with one another.

You are correct sir!
Hawai'i, Washington, Alaska very tight back then. Great to know someone who knows!
I was blessed to come across that strain in the early 90's!!!!!
Another amazing strain! We were so blessed back then.
I was able to obtain a quarter for $150, was a deal.
This one had quarter size beautiful round disk shaped buds with just insane white crystal. Smelling of skunk primarily, but undertones of hashy buttery pine. But very hard to describe.
Incredibly potent!! Such a fun experience.
Never saw her again.
I got Twisty Treat Thunderfuck, and it is as close as I have come to her. Although she is a hybrid to a 90' sativa. So it adds some lemon trip to it.
IIam thinking that the original was the original Romulan that was bred up there, or a hybrid of it. As the one one I smoked has that deep skunky dankness with some piney trip.
The one pheno I have puts out that same insane resin. Is very much sativa, but has big pretty solid nugs and is a fast finisher. Which to me makes sense as if you gonna have any chance in Alaska it's gonna have to finish quick, bit also being bred up there yield is going to increase with the light hours.

Nugs and glass. This is my oldest pipe, I got this sidecar in the mid-nineties. Sundance Kid #1. The SDK is funky citrusy and has a weird menthol like cooling effect when smoked. The stone us happy, euphoric , and potent.View attachment 4118840

Wow!!!
Now that sounds very unique.
I only experienced that one time!
A friend in Cali had this strain called purple Mikado. Nothing like Mikado. But had the most crazy incense dankness menthol. And when you took a rip, it actually cooled your throat down. But that one was so strong, it was like acid!

Never had I experienced a smoke that cooled my throat. And it had that cooling for minutes after. Every breath cool.
Trippy. My throat would love a strain like that.

It’s a first for me. It’s kind of funny, this plant was close to getting discarded. It grew slow and seemed weak to start, I kept it in the back corner of my tent. It has been a nice surprise to say the least. I’ll be hunting for this phenotype in the future. I may get a second pack of SDK just for that reason, but I do have six seeds left to pop.

I grew out a "Bubblegummer" from Female Seeds and it was straight menthol both smell and taste....like smoking a Newport cigarette. I was hoping for bubblegum and got Wrigleys spearmint haha
I have some Bodhi "Solos Stash" right now that smells like menthol but not so much on the taste.
I fuggin hate mint/menthol :spew:

My SDK doesn’t taste like menthol at all, just has a strange cooling effect. The taste is pure citrus, lemony funk. I could see how menthol flavor would be off putting.

You guys are bringing me back to my younger days. Living in Montana we were spoiled with great Washington Chronic,
We also used to get a pile of Beasters (Canadian B.C.) I am glad that I can legally grow my own now. Science Experiments

Yea that purple Mikado didn't have a menthol smell. Only slight. But I was when you blew the smoke out you could feel the menthol.
I wouldn't want a strain that smelled like menthol either.

I'm not a big fan of "earthy" and pine terps.
This is probably why greenpoint seeds are so popular -- variety.
And I'm not just talking about product lines. I'm talking about diversity within the F1 gene pools.
People have different preferences.
For example, I am always looking for fire strains that have minimal smell. While I realize this affects bag appeal, I run an outdoor crop every year and don't want to stink out my neighbors. They're cool with my herb garden for the most part, but it shouldn't be obnoxious. :shock:
Last September I even ran an ozone generator in the morning, right when the smell was peaking.
It's only a problem when there's no breeze and odors are concentrated. Ozone actually helped more than I expected...

I'd venture a wager that "in the future" stardawg keeps on producing dank, any evidence to the contrary @kona gold :bigjoint:

Raindance in vermiculite, nothing up yet.

Im in a slow process of making a Stardawg IBL "Cubng" from Topdawgs 2012 release. I made F2's from a stud male from that release. I grew a bunch out, and selected a badass male. He is amazing, and the Son of this plant in the pic. Now he needs to breed his mother, sounds sick doesn't it, lol. Then I'll grow a lot of those seeds out, and select another stud to pollinate mom again. Grow those seeds out, and see where im at. Maybe do it another time if I have to:) Gu works with Stardawg, so this post is kinda relative, lolsd 3 004.JPG
