They smell incredible :weed: Very fruity. Ive been racking my brain since last night when I smelled them, trying to remember what what smell is. It's some kind of candy from when I was a kid in the early 90s. Maybe Dots?

Yeah I was preparing for a huge stretch. Made a special trellis and everything. @jimihendrix1 gave me some advice about growing them sideways. I thought training the main cola below the secondary branches might have slowed the stretch, but @Growitpondifarm seems to have shorter plants as well. Not sure what kind of training he did, if any.
I'm guessing the TKNL5 genes are more pronounced?

Probably. He’s based in Alaska.
Nothing against Canada, but Alaskans are American to the core and many of the Native peoples were heavily influenced by the Russians.

We don't have too much to do with Canada here in Alaska except for some fisheries related partnerships and arctic region type affiliations.

I would say our biggest influencers in Alaska is Seattle, Oil companies and the military
Anchorage is said to be Seattle's furthest northern suburb.
Sorry to go off on a tangent, but I enjoy talking about Alaska. :D

So far zero stretch on 3 females
Of dariens, not complaining just not what I expected. Just about two weeks into flower now and pistils just starting to appear. I will post some pictures when I get a chance. I usually put a trellis about two feet above my bed and flip when plants are like 6” short of it, this go around I had no trellis up because I had to cut out the last one and forgot to pick up new one. Going to try and put a trellis on now to see if I can get some more light into the pint sized dariens. The branching is really great on these plants though, if I had planted only DG seeds there would be no issue, unfortunately I’m running bunch of different varieties that are all dwarfing the DG.

Any info on grow time on the NL1/ BigSkunk x NL1 and smoke reports? Like to see what the variations are showing and any recent grow experience. Thanks all

respect,
pal
I harvested some not long ago. I believe I took it at around 9 weeks from the flip. If I remember correctly it was a hungry plant. Nice fruity smell and lots of crystals. Good daytime smoke for sure :bigjoint:

Nice flower!
That looks very similar to the Americanna and the Americanna x Black Domina.
Americanna is 86 nl5 haze/big skunk nl1 so it makes sense.

Just wanna chime in for mr akbb and his services. He has seemingly been one of the most generous and approachable members of “the community” I’ve ever come across. There is no doubt in my mind that “mr akbb” is as honest as one could possibly hope and his genetics he has provided me are beyond phenomenal. Clearly the man is extremely dedicated and well experienced in his craft. He offered a great package deal which included 8 total packs for less than the cost of the first four. Included was tknl5haze, black domina bx, gst, and a1 as well as Matty cakes, gasolime, Star fighter to black dom I think and something escaping me. Btw the offering was completely charitable and ak even footed the shipping bill. Anyways a1 had poor germ rates. I contacted through email, and it was replaced with vintage blueberry and another pack of my choice from his list. I ended up picking another two and he threw in grape pie x romulan. The seeds that were germinated and grown out were exceptional and exceeded expectation. Ive gone into slight detail about Matty cakes and Gasolime. GST skunk was also very unique and trichome crusted. Black dom bx I recently have been testing and the two females from half a pack grown in a light dep with sun and soil are both amazing. Deep floral flavor and calming and sedating as it gets. I never quite have the ability to write a report on that one because I’m asleep very shortly after a couple doobs. I’m getting off topic. Unfortunately I cannot attest to the vintage bb myself because I didn’t have time in the season to germ them last year. Hopefully this year I’ll have the opportunity. Rant over. Akbb is the man. Thank you for your work brother.
I can second that. Had an order intercepted by customs and subsequently placed a re-order with Mr. Dankortowne. I told him what had happened and he looked after me big time. He is a stand-up generous dude who loves the plant. You can trust him.
