One of my favourite strains is a cross I made with NL#5 and Cali Mist. As I live way up north I call it Northern Mist Two smallish hits of the Ali would give me anxiety and heart palpitations for the first half hour or so then it was fine. Worked great for my depression. The NL toned it down nicely and it still works great as medicine for me. The right pheno is a 14 week girl but well worth the wait. The NL influence helps it's yield a lot which helps make up for all the extra time in the flowering room.
The original seeds came from the now defunct Marc Emery's Seed Bank that used to take up the first 10 pages of the also defunct Cannabis Culture magazine 17 -18 years ago now.
I got no problem with wrestling down them long tall Sallys and tend to ScroG them for perfect control and much better yields. Half pound easy off one done in a DWC ScroG.
For me the strength of the pot is secondary to how it affects me medicinally and since a small stroke 4 years ago even getting a little bit too high is not pleasant. I got some 2:1 CBD:THC pot 6 months ago that I made cocobudder with and it's what I'm aiming for with the CBD plants I'm growing now. The buzz is more like being drunk with no hangover and I can really get behind that!
Nice! About the Marc emery genetics. I bet they are wonderful.
Just wanted to say when I say "strong" in regards to potency I mean full effects. We like full head and body high hybrids for our purpose.
But the head part is smooth, expansive and interesting and some plants very trippy and visual with sound attenuation.
But if you don't smoke too much it is uplifting and happy and great to function on.
And it should last for some hours.
I don't mean high THC strain of the week rec weed that gets you up buzzing real fast and lets you down in a half hour. But tests 25%+
I grew up on killer old Skunk weed and imported sativas. And in my teen and later young years original hybrids like white widow and jack Herrer.
