Here are the two phenos I ended up with of the 89NL harvested on day 62. Both were grown in coco/perlite without any topping, no CO2, and about 45 watts / sq ft of full spectrum LEDs. They were flipped 33 days from strike, so not a lot of veg time. Not much stretch - they about doubled in height. The shorter one on the left was 20" from the top of the pot and the taller one 24".

Overall they were pretty similar, though the shorter one showed some purple. The taller one was greasier in comparison, and they smelled very similar. Sorry I'm about useless when it comes to describing the smells - the taller pheno seemed sweeter almost perfumery compared to the shorter one, with both smelling a little like sweet olive and lemon/lime type citrus. The GF also thought they smelled a little grapey. Sorry the pics aren't great, but they'll give you an idea of what to expect if you grow the 89NL.

That sounds like a strain I'd like to try.

I love the Deathstar, do you feel the Sensi Star is a major influence in that cross?

I'm popping those 79 Blueberry x Vintage Blueberry any day now.

Just turned a pack of 89 NL a couple of days ago and I'm going to start trimming up the
Black Afghani x Tk/NL5 Haze and White x TK/NL5 Haze.

I’m sure the sensi Star was a major influence in deathstar,the cut that mr Bob had at emerald in19 was super legit a lot like the deathstar I’ve got now

Some of you might remember, I had problems with some of my AKBB runs having hermie issues. I've since determined there was an environment issue where my grow room was located. I can't think of what it could possibly be. I kept the environment in the best conditions possible. Kept my temps, humidity, and air flow very well controlled. No light leaks at all. I have a night vision scope and used that to check for leaks, and there were none. But I recently moved my grow room from a room I'd built in my garage several years ago. Whether there was something in the building materials used, something in the cement floors... I don't know, but something out there was causing stress. So I recently moved my grow to tents in a spare bedroom in my house, and I can't believe the difference I'm seeing in my plants. I've successfully finished a TKNL5Haze without any herm issues. It was a weak clone from the old grow room, so it didn't produce like I was hoping it would, but I know the old room had to have affected it somehow. But anyways, I would like to retract my comments about having the herm issues, and I'll be running more of AKBB's stuff to see how my new room does with them. And based on my current grow of Banana OG, I'm sure I'm going to see a great improvement on my next run of AKBB gear. I still have several of the TKNL5Haze seeds I'll be starting off with. And now I see he is releasing a lot of the Sohum crosses, so I predict I'll be spending some more money lol... onward through the fog.

Show me the freezer and stock it came from. With out real proof its just another wife's tales. How many people that buy this BC even know what real BC is spose to be? Most dont and buy it purely for old novelty of having older strains. People can say anything thing they want. Once a plant is grown out it won't lie..... but if the person growing dosnt have a reference point then they believe the lie cause they don't know better.

Purple Hindu Kush x Durban after a few week cure. Loving this smoke, initial uplifting high transitions into relaxation. Well shaped plant, great buds, no larf.
Smells of fruit, earth and spices. This was a spring outdoor flowering and I’m running the clone from this plant in my full summer garden.

I'm really digging the Beatrix choice female I found. I also kept the male, but I don't know what to do with it yet. The pollen has an intense licorice / incense aroma, unlike anything else I've ever smelled on cannabis.

I'll get some pictures of the female within a few weeks. I also seem to have a nice Hawaiian Cat Piss female going next to it also. ;-)

Your shit is awesome @Dankortowne -- your work is a tremendous asset to cannabis culture! Thank you so much!

I'm trimming up another right now that has the same smell as a Pisces Genetics cross I grew of
Romulan x Chem D without the Chem funk.
That cross was made in 2012 or so.

It's hard to describe it's sort of like pine and grape.

Very long spears with long internode lengths between very resinous clusters.

Here's my #7 White x Tk/NL5 Haze.
The first off the hanger.
One thing that is a surprise to me is the terps on her dry.
Sweet lemony pine over an earthy kush.

Expansive smoke and super potent.

I'm thinking about this https://www.jbcseeds.com/product/ak-bean-brains-romulan-bx4/
Trying to get a non-sedative/functional body high for nerve and low back/sciatica.
If there is a better recommendation, I would certainly consider it. LSD, Peach Cobbler and OG Kush have worked fairly well for me.
Those are the 3 that stood out enough to make note of anyway.

same here. sleep is hard for me. staying off opiates with multiple chronic pain issues while working overtime with ppl half my age. with the ak four way I'm not even looking for functional though. I don't want a hybrid I want a total indica to put me to sleep. I heard Herajuana and Ortega are good for sleep. I ran a few Blueberry bubblegums that helped with pain and gave me a clear head. grape terp hybrid strains seem to do the same. Isympathize with your search goal though. wish you luck. AKBB s A-1(bluecity diesel x blue I think) might be exactly what you are looking for check out the A-1 crosses Dave has for functional pain relief. Good luck
