AK Bean Brains

[psychadelibud]

Long time no see, peeps. I will say there will be some awesome photos popping up soon so keep your eyes peeled! Everything has turned out wonderful and taking everything down today and tomorrow except for a select few. I am on day 68 of flower and the majority are done. So far, I am extremely fucking happy with this grow. Only issues I've had was all due to my fault, hammering them with nutes a bit too much! But it's all good. They look and turned out stunning!

Probably going to order 2 packs of the Consumption F2. If any are left in a couple weeks Ill also buy a couple NL5/NL5 packs. Theres also several more Id love to have.

Ive been smoking since 67, and grew my first outdoor plant in 72. Grew my 1st indoor stuff with 8ft SHO Fluro bulbs in 76, and got my first HID/1000w Metal Halide when they came out in 77-78.

But the best stuff I ever saw potency, and taste wise was a cross of late 80s, early 90s NL5Haze x Nevils Hashplant x Skunk#1.

I got 15 seeds from a friend, who got them from a guy at an Eagle Scouts Convention in Louisville Ky, in 1991-92. My buddy was an Eagle Scout Master. He also got some other seeds that were Kush/Sk1 x Haze/Nevils Hashplant. It was more Indica, and mine was very Sativa Dominant, but was done in 42-49 days believe it or not. Medium production.

But I had all kinds of people get mad at me and swore I put something in it. The got sick, and sat by the toilet for 3 hours gagging, paranoid, dizzy, and yes, 1 or 2 in the course of 5 years of growing it, yes, in some people it could make them lose bowel control.
What it does is it drives the blood sugar lever into the dirt, which adds to the mental confusion, paranoia, anxiety, and the low blood sugar adds on to the already extremely powerful, long lasting buzz, and can cause extreme anxiety, and agitation.

It was also not safe to try and drive, and smoke.
It was extremely lung expanding, and I dont care who you are, if you over toke this stuff, you ARE going to cough your brains completely out. Youre going to have snot and shit coming out your nose. Eyes full of tears. It could make you lose your vision for a few seconds. It really wasnt safe to try and drive and smoke at the same time.

But I had a gig going with my friends older uncle. 30 years older, and I made 1000 clones of this strain to put on his 1000+ acre farm, that was once his cattle farm in Lincoln co, Ky. I gave him 500 of them, and he got busted with them, and told on me, and they came and found another 500 from me, and I got charged for manufacturing all of them. I spent from 2007 -2009 with the Feds, and he didnt do any time.

But that strain had tasted like the best hash ever made, and it was better than 99% of all the hash Ive ever smoked in over 50 years of smoking. And we make bubble hash regularly. I also did my first extraction in 1974 with the original Thai Power Iso 1, they later came out with an Iso2... out of Hight Times.

But Ive been looking for all these old genetics, and a few people, every now and them come up with some of the real deal stuff of old. I was also buying all kinds of seeds from Seed Bank, and other Banks around then. The first stuff I remember ever ordering was the Mazar from Super Sativa Seed Club. It actually had a Post Mark from Santa Barbara California vs being sent from Holland. I did send the money to Holland, but the seeds were in California.


I wish all of the breeders that have these old genes from Nevil Seed Bank, Late 80s -90s Sensi Seeds, Super Sativa Seed Club, Cultivators Choice, and others. Keep all of your Mother/Father plants safe as these are the only link we have for these old genetics. Theyre at least on the highly endangered list.

I do wish someone would recreate the Original AK47 from the 90s. Even the second recreation in the early-mid 2000s was good shit, but what they have now, since 2007-8 is a shame. But the 90s stuff was superb herb. Getting that Super Skunk in uncrossed form would also be nice.

I have only tried a few so far, but that Americanna and SoHum95 is definitely the strongest of the bunch thus far... The SoHum pheno of the SoHum95 hit me hard as fuck and yes, I had to relocate quickly to the shitter! Did not make me shit myself, and I'd admit it if it did lol. But seriously, it hit so hard, the initial wave was very intense and had me rubbing a cold wet washcloth on my face, sweating a bit, racing thoughts, etc till it ended up stimulating my bowel control!! Not been that high in a while.

I know what you are looking for, definitely grab the consumption and any WACO crosses. The Americanna has almost the same effect and I've only tried the fast pheno, the other more waco dominant one will be chopped tomorrow! Now I have not tried it yet, but the tknl5haze x Panama Red/Colombian Gold is one of the frostiest in the room and I have 3 different phenotypes. According to him, it's the intense old school haze mind fucking effect that will have ppl accusing you of lacing your meds and inducing panicking attacks... I absolutely cannot wait to try it! I'll have pics up soon. Definitely grab the Darien's Gap (tknl5haze x cg/pr).


Btw... Waco is an old 80s cut of Nl5haze. Has some stanky trash can amoninated terps.

 

[psychadelibud]

Btw.... That SoHum95 is such a stable and uniform line! You either get the SoHum phenos or the 95. The SoHum is very very heady and has this wonderful old school smell. Smells like a plastic factory that strangely processes citrus too... It was a wonderful plastic inflatable kiddy pool, pool float, water hose type smell! Absolutely unique and old school! Has a heavy presence of skunk also... Its so heady and carries the extreme narcotic goodness of the 95 as well... I'll tell ya right now, never underestimate the power of those 2 black domina cuts.... And the 95 is probably some of the most narcotic meds I've had in a long time! Wipes pain to zero and your body is just buzzing insanely hard!

I’m gonna be running some Local Skunk seeds this fall.
I was planning of breeding them to my Grape Ape, and Sherbet, as part of a preservation project, not to mention making some F2’s along the way.
Your idea of crossing the Local Skunk to Consumption F2 is intriguing, especially considering I have the Consumption F2 seeds, and was pondering running them this fall, as well.

YES, you should make that cross. Id use the Consumption Male, but doing it both ways would be nice. I think using the C-F2 male, will make for bigger plants. Will possibly extend the flowering times on some phenos. Our Local Skunk pheno is dead nuts ripe at 56 days.
We also have a Granny Skunk, and Dominion Skunk mother plant, and have still have 2 packs of the Sis Skunk. Also a pack of Skunkband. Headband x SSSC Sk1, Munson. Black Lights

Id like to hit all of that stuff with 2-3 really nice Consumption males, and also several males of the NL5 x Haze, and a couple others.

I really go nuts when I see all these old seed bank genetics coming back. Especially when they pan out.

Consumption F2 x Local Skunk should make for an absolutely powerhouse of a cross.
I’m really tempted to make it a reality but haven’t made a final decision yet.
The only things really holding me back on running Consumption are size and flowering times.
I’m doing this indoors so controlling size is of major importance.
If I can get a handle on that then I should be good.
The long flowering time is more of an inconvenience but still something that I factor in during the decision making process.

 

[jimihendrix1]

Im wanting to order several strains but am afraid of the postal service at this time. Id hate to lose $500-$700

That thing is a monster! Im gonna be popping some of these in about a month in a 2x4x6 cabinet. Looks like training will be in order

I’m up at 44 Lat—you must be further south to be that far along.

Nice, I’ll have a harvest preview.

Did you happen to notice if yours had any of that horizontal lateral growth I posted a few pics of? Mine seems to be mostly growing out of it, but will result in some oddly angled nugs.

Id bend them over at a really young age. That way you will use the light most efficiently, and all the secondary branchines will get maximum light. Id also not top it. Just bend the crap out of it, and keep it growing horizontally, and blast it with all the fresh air, and light you can get. .

I’ve taken that approach with an outdoor plant in the past. No topping, main stalk trained to nearly horizontal and all side branches reaching for the sky becoming their own tops. Makes for a nice harvest and manageable height—a cannabis hedge.

Exactly!!! Thats the way we grow them inside, and veg under either a 1000w Hortilux HPS, Gavita 1150w DE-HID, and have been experimenting with Gavita 1700e for Veg. And we grow larger plants, in 15g - 20 gallon containers Promix BX. We have a plant limit, and am in an unfriendly state, so we grow less, but bigger plants. And we like plants strains that stretch alot after flip as it reduces veg time. Some of those Haze hybrids can stretch 4x-5x their size after flip...

 

[GrassBurner]

Thanks for the advice @jimihendrix1 and @klyphman ! The NL1 will be my 3rd grow, gonna pop some PHK in the smaller cabinet. Ill be growing the NL1's under 4 qb120's @3500k spectrum.

Pulled the plug on my first clone run of my keeper
TK/NL5 HAZE.

Nice size, density and yields.
I've been told a couple of times by friends that this is the best weed that they had tried.

All my Tk cross runs have been exceptional with
I-95 Bx by Wave Genetics and LVTK S1 by @thenotsoesoteric coming very close to being as good as my "big fucker" cut of Tk/NL5 Haze.
My cut of TK Larry by First Class is also very close in potency and quality.
They just don't have that extra bit of mind warp that she has.

 

[Bakersfield]

So/Rom testers looking nice!

They have a smell that I'm not familiar with in marijuana. It's sweet and anise like over an Afghani background.

1 girl of the 5 is sprouting some late Nanners, but I don't blame her seeing they went through 2 days with temps over 100 after the 12 inch exhaust fan duct fell off.
I did grow Romulan crossed to Chem D and it was a hermied bitch that would leave seeds.
I'm hoping this will pass.

 

[Bakersfield]

Im pretty sure the Black Domina that was obtained from Bob Hemphill, came from Nature Farm Genetics. I believe that cut won Best Indoor Indica at the 2018, or 2019 Humboldt Cup. I may be wrong, but I know Bob got a Black Domina cut from him/TNF to use to make his Black Lights when Coastal Seeds was going. Ive got a couple packs Ive not run, and am saving. Its BD x NL1. Photos of Black Lights on Instagram look killer. I also believe Bob got the Romulan cut from TNF. Its supposedly intensely old. I think around 1979. I got the Coastal UFO for free. Romulan x NL1. Havent run them.
I did run the Puck Yeah from Coastal Puck Yeah.... Puck/aka Skelly Hashplant x NL1, and we made seeds from the best 5 females out of 50, and the best 5 males out of 50. All the seeds got stolen.

Not Ak Beanbrains related, but here are some pics of Black Lights I'm running.

 

[Bakersfield]

AK Beanbrains Americanna cut.
She's not a happy camper parked next to my fan.
She is sensitive to wind burn.
Luckily she clones easily and I'll be starting a fresh batch in the "sweet spot" to see how she does.

Thats a kick ass plant man! The high sounds jamming.

I forgot to mention.... We have another we will be working on also that I got ahold of called M48. Akbb has already popped his M48. I have not, yet.

M48 is Super Sativa Seed Clubs South African Haze which was listed in the 1990 or 1991 seed catalogues, or both. I originally was told it was m39 (south african haze) but I knew that m39 was Skunk 1 x Basic 5. So I contacted my connect and explained it. Hes an elderly man and got confused, so he corrected it and looked at his package. I have pics of the original packaging he had sent to him from SSSC and they're 100% legit. He also has 4 of the original seeds still left in the package. They came in plain brown mailing envelopes written on the outside the with the #m-- that indicated the strain inside. This is going to be interesting.

I know of no one else with either the beatrix nor the south african haze from sssc... and if so, I'd question the authenticity of it. The beatrix is very distinct and right off the bat you'll know it. The beatrix has very long petioles and the entire structure of the plant is just unique and looks like nothing else.

You can see in this old pic from the catalog the super long petioles...

Years ago I bought some SSSC seeds, including the M48 and M9 (Skunk #1). They arrived in the packaging you described: small brown envelopes encased in a larger cardboard sleeve which was black on the inside. I still have the catalogues, and M48 was not in the earlier catalogue.
