This half is under a 630 CMH and the other side is a 600 De HPS, so it's a bit blended.Looks amazing!! What lights are these under?

The good folks at akbb told me that as far as they knew the 89nl had never left the Pacific NW.NL1 is a IBL True Breeding. NL5, NL2 ect are hybrids. I figure the 89NL may be Sensi Seeds Version of NL5 but may be dead wrong.
Todd McCormick will have the Original NL5 genetics from radagasfarmer, and seattle greg for sale in May
89NL may be Melvanetics via Sensi Seeds from 89.
Deep Ellum Seeds has real deal NL2 from Nevils Seed Bank.
To confuse me more, his website also lists a NL5 x NL5 that says it's 92' Marc Emery cut x local AK variety. I want the best representation of NL5 he has, it's a little tough to figure out what's what exactly.NL1 is a IBL True Breeding. NL5, NL2 ect are hybrids.

The pre-orders have been sold out, sadly. Hoping some become available when he releases them in May.Todd McCormick will have the Original NL5 genetics from radagasfarmer, and seattle greg for sale in May
FWIW, they told me the same. Makes me wonder if it is the same as Greg's original NL1.The good folks at akbb told me that as far as they knew the 89nl had never left the Pacific NW.
For what it's worth, I've grown out his NL5 x NL5 and really enjoyed the resulting smoke, it was the jar I opened the most. I also have a pack of his 89NL which I will be cracking next fall. The NL5 x NL5 had a really nice, soft aroma of playdough and candied roses is the best way I could explain it. The flavor carried over well and the high was really nice. It had some good potency and was uplifting but relaxing at the same timeTo confuse me more, his website also lists a NL5 x NL5 that says it's 92' Marc Emery cut x local AK variety.

I'm looking mainly at his:
NL5 (from his mailing list)
89/NL5 (from his mailing list)
NL5 bx (jbc website)
they all sound great, but what's the most NL5 of the bunch? What is the bx exactly?
Welcome to the NL rabbit hole, lol. I don't know, but am wondering if the NL5 that Neville worked is a little different than the original NL5 from the PNW.To confuse me more, his website also lists a NL5 x NL5 that says it's 92' Marc Emery cut x local AK variety.

FWIW, as far as I know, Deep Ellum's NL2 is the F3.
That is what akbb told me as well.I've got a shitty memory, but I do believe the
89 NL are the seeds that AKBB was gifted from a woman that had them stored in the ground, in a cabin up in the interior of Alaska.
I'm thinking the grantor of the seeds knew that they had been brought to Alaska via the PNW, before the Dutch got involved.
Do you smoke many heavy hitters of today like the Chems or OG's?For what it's worth, I've grown out his NL5 x NL5 and really enjoyed the resulting smoke, it was the jar I opened the most.

View attachment 4813119View attachment 4813121. Very enjoyable. I don't have any prior experience with the NL5 so I can't really compare it to the original. I did have access to a "Northern Lights" back in the 90's but didn't have any specifics on that, it was just called NL.
Yes, I grew out a few Chem (91) and OG (Legend?) crosses from CSI. Those definitely have a solid "stone" to them whereas the NL is/was potent but more like you described with the warm lift but a good head component to it as well. I think a good way to put the NL pheno I had was a more complex, multi-dimensional high vs. the others. The most narcotic plant I grew was an old school hashplant from Bodhi. Strait put your ass to sleep medicine. That one made me literally have to take a seat on the couch one time. Ha.Do you smoke many heavy hitters of today like the Chems or OG's?
I would like to know how it compares.
I grew NL from Sensi Seeds back in 94.
My keeper pheno was very narcotic like opium.
The kind of weed that envelopes you like a warm sleeping bag, numbs the pain and care of the day, increases sensual arousal, food tastes better and music becomes a 4 dimenensional experience all while glued firmly to the couch, lol.
They all sound wonderful, but the C99/Kali Mist sounds like I need to know who the breeder is.Yes, I grew out a few Chem (91) and OG (Legend?) crosses from CSI.

I also have a C99/Kali Mist cross that is very hard hitting (potency came from C99 I believe), that was a pineapple mind scrambler.
