Swami Organic Seeds has a cut from 1984. He has it crossed with Nevils LTD Release 1988 NL5/Hz. F3 or other. I think he has seeds up to F6, but I think the male used was an F3, but not 100% positive. Swamis NL5/Hz is mostly long flowering. Our best one we found went 100 days.... I myself like the NL5/Hz version that was released to the public from Nevil, then Sensi Seeds, and is more on the lines of the genetics of AKBB NL5/Hz, and is probably same genetics.Does anybody know if that original NL5 clone is even alive anymore? I get the impression that most old NL5 cuts used these days are from some variety of NL5 seeds... still very old but second generation or more. Not sure though...can anyone fill me in?
Cool... a new answer to an old post! A 1984 cut sounds like that could possibly be the one that Neville started with. Could we talk Swami into releasing some NL5 s1s? I won't get my hopes up but that's something I'd buy for sure.Swami Organic Seeds has a cut from 1984. He has it crossed with Nevils LTD Release 1988 NL5/Hz. F3 or other.

Havent tried the Swami NL5 x NL5/Hz though I do have 3 packs.
Yeah, I was mostly joking about the s1s ... not something I'd expect to happen. That would be pretty awesome if that original Nl5 still existed. Thanks for the info!I dont think Swami messes with s1 ect
I also not sure, but Ive heard while they did find the old clone that has been kept forever, Seattle Greg did have seeds of the original NL5 genetics, and I beliueve Seattle Greg just recently verified he gave some seeds to someone but I cant remember who. Maybe AKBB. Cant remember.
How did you AKBB turn out?

I like your set up does the clover help produce nitrogen for the plants then? They look very healthy and Have huge leavesBlack Domina/PacificNorthwest Hashplant x Super Skunk, Grown in the ground, no-till organic, with a six-foot ladder thrown in for scale.

TKNL5 Haze, she's about ten foot tall huge leaves and a very Sativa growth pattern. I have another TKNL5 Haze growing and she is much bushier, with thin lacy leaves.

Can we expand/brainstorm on this idea for a second?I'm not sure he did it himself but I think he talked about people in Alaska burying seeds in the ground for preservation. Sounded a little goofy at first but it does eliminate worries of busts, fires, thefts, broken fridges, and clean-freaks who like to throw out things they don't know about. If it stays cold enough year-round it's pretty clever... they could sit there cold and undisturbed for decades.
I haven't joined the great RKS hunt, but he does seem like a good bet for finding that magic in the skunks. TKNL5H , vintage blueberry, and freezeland are what caught my attention.
Wow... a second old post of mine revived in one day. I don't really have an answer for you. The heat coming up from down deep is sometimes more than one might expect but Alaska gets pretty cold on the surface of course. Personally, I don't think freezing and thawing is such an issue if the seeds are stored very dry as I think they should be. There's no "freezing" if there's no H2O in them.Can we expand/brainstorm on this idea for a second?
Burying your seeds in the ground - If you're somewhere that gets -10 degrees fahrenheit during the winter.. Is 4 feet deep really going to keep them from freezing/thawing every season? I can't find much info on ground temps. I've heard Cali folk doing it but I'm just curious on other locations with colder weather.
Similar to the cheese caves of France or the lagering caves of Germany.Unless you live in an arctic region with permafrost the ground temp, below frost line, is 50-60 degrees year round. That is not too warm, would be considered refrigerated. Literally the purpose of root cellars. It’s amazing, we are crossing one of those generation gaps where old ways of life are forgotten.
Thank you, Yeah, in theory the clover does help to fix nitrogen into the soil as it grows. I like the clover because it grows really quickly so I periodically pull sections of it up and place it on top as a mulch layer, providing a renewable source of mulch that is always close a hand.I like your set up does the clover help produce nitrogen for the plants then?

I bet they would do awesome grown that way, I agree.Id love to see what those plants would have looked like Bent Over from a young age. All of those plants have great secondary branching.
I thought I saw a documentary where there was a whole town that mined opals and lives underground in Australia! Not that that’s a root cellar but they did it because it was cool at a place that ground surface temperatures could kill you. Necessities!Similar to the cheese caves of France or the lagering caves of Germany.
Not many root cellars in Australia, but I know what ya mean.
Yeah, probably a few towns like that. Coober Pedy and Lightning Ridge are both well-known for opal mining.I thought I saw a documentary where there was a whole town that mined opals and lives underground in Australia!

Some rich people here have an underground wine cellar, but the term root cellar is uncommon. Mainly because root means to fuck here e.g. Elle Macpherson is getting old now. Nah, mate! I'd still root her.
