Does the Northern Lights #5 from the 90’s still exist?

[Shua1991]

It depends what northern lights you're looking for.

Looking for pinesol type smells from NL2, chem #4 or the "pure" OG cuts, s1/2/3, are basically the modern version. A touch of hashplant tossed into both, likely.

NL5 sweet-fruit-citrus type stuff is out there but not much of it has as nice of a buzz as NL would. So much of that terpene profile is filled with stuff geared towards hash because heavy smokers can't smoke enough of the flowers to get their desired effect.

There's good stuff coming out today but there's a reason why people are yearning for the old stuff.

Northern lights was some of the best quality stuff I could get when starting smoking in the mid 2000's I knew someone who grew it in a gaming computer case, he used dr.atomic's seeds version which was very euphoric couchlock afghani kind of effect. The terps are exactly as you said, like pinetar and citrus.

I wish I had bought out hempdepots stock of dr atomic several years back.

The blueberry jam from him was great, my favorite from his stuff.

I asked if there was any chance of a restock and was told he was trying but dude is older. It now seems more unlikely with Dr atomic no longer listed on the site.

If anyone is holding continued lines from Dr Atomic's gear, I implore you to get them back out there.

Northern Lights #5 IBL

Northern Lights #5 IBL 10 Seeds Per Pack Regular Seeds ~ I received Northern Lights #5 seeds directly from Seattle Greg, who is the same gentleman that sent the Northern Lights seed collection to Nevil and The Holland Seed Bank in 1984. These seeds are an IBL reproduction from Greg's old 1980's...

Good find!
So maybe this is close to the original NL from the PNW before it went to Europe.
They also have it crossed with another called “the purest indica” looks like an old school classic

AK Bean Brains (thread) sells Northern Lights #5 seeds. Very reputable breeder in my experience.

 

[budtoker221]

Pretty much would be one of the first big afghani hybrids cos nl 1 is nevils afghani x steve Murphy's afghani (Kandahar supposedly)
nl 2 was nevils thai x nl1 and nl 5 was meant to be Hawaiian thai x nl1 thats the script how i remember it anyway

Also the current sensi and most common nl available today the nl1 x nl2 x nl5 was made by breeder Steve

Kandahar huh?
Never heard of it till I looked it up

THAT looks like an indica!!

I’m most interested in a NL#1 leaner, shorter squatter with the purple.

I’m not sure if thats Sensis, or Nirvana or what although maybe they all have some short phenos like that.

All the NL #1 crosses like MNS Ortega seem to have been discontinued.

Having grown Dr Atomics NL crosses I can say they were pretty spot on to that pic. The bud and leaf traits are ingrained in my brain.

Joey Weeds NL is nice as well, not #5 but worth looking into with limited options.

Lucky you and you probably have good equipment also.

 

[eastcoastmo]

I'm growing it as we speak. Grown from old seeds I had stored away

 

[Wastei]

I would just buy some regs from Sensi and look for a Thai leaning mother. They all come from the same genetic line. You'll probably find a keeper.

I wouldn't bother with Sensi, I grew out a whole pack and the best I could find was a pheno that was more like NL#1. There were none that came close to NL#5.

Mr Nice Seed Co. That's where you'll get the closest thing to what you're looking for. I suggest the NL5 x Afghani. Basically a NL back cross.

From my research

NL#1 = Steve Murphy's Hindu Kush × Nevil's Mazar I Sharif.
NL#2 = Steve Murphy's Hindu Kush × Don's ( The Indian) Hindu Kush.
USNL#5 = Thai (Originally stated by the NL Crew) × Steve Murphy's Hindu Kush.
Nevil's NL#5 = (Thai x Steve Murphy's Hindu Kush) × (Steve Murphy's Hindu Kush × Nevil's Mazar I Sharif)

Nl2 was Neville's creation i dont think Neville had steve Murphys kush unless it was sent to him the rest sounds right tho mate

Nevil received NL#2 from the NL crew, he improved line up to F3 and then crossed it to Kush4 making NL#2×Kush4 which is also known as Nevil's NL#2.

 

[conor c]

Nevil received NL#2 in seed, he improved it up to F3 and then crossed it to Kush4 making NL#2×Kush4 which is known as Nevil's NL#2.

Sorry mate that aint true i think that is maybe the story the nl crew might say but it dont make it fact plus there storys changed so many times i doubt alot of it plus kush4 was from jim ortega nevil did have that but first ive heard of it having anything to do with nl2

Sorry bud you are very misinformed.

 

[conor c]

Sorry bud you are very misinformed. If you don't know about Nevil making NL#2×Kush4 then you don't know much about NL.
