That's a beautiful plant, @Couchland !
Dude your C99 looks amazing. Can I ask what your Set-up is? When did you grab these seeds? Just wondering if his C99 had evolved over the years...
Cheers.

Woah very jack herer lookin there damn!
I got the seeds a couple months ago. I've seen a definite improvement over the years. Fairly basic set-up but I've been running it a while so I'm pretty well dialed in. 1000Watt HPS, air cooled, in a 5x5 tent. Promix for soil and General Hydroponics for fertilizer.
I've got some Blueberries in the corners, as usual they're kinda ratty but at 7 weeks they're starting to plump up nice.

Thanks for the info. What are your thoughts at this point on the NLxC99 vs C99- Seing any similarities? You mentioned you had grown the NLx C99 a few pages back.
Cheers!

Have a bunch or plants hanging to dry now. KNL seems to grow some fat, healthy looking buds but man, Kush Berry smells so damn good!
They were not similar to me, maybe the growth pattern in ways. That plant did not leave much of an impression on me, sorry I can't say much on it.
The C99 is special, I didn't think NLxC99 was apparently.

A few days in the jar and Northern Lights smells like grass. Is this typical? I've only smoked it a couple of times last year and although I liked the high, I can't remember much about the smell or taste.

It was fairly typical for my PSBC NL. Give it 7 or 8 weeks in the jars. The smell should mostly disappear and it will be some of the smoothest smoke you'll ever try. Not a lot of taste or smell of any sort, but smooth and potent.
Yeah NL isnt really known for its flavour. I have smoked some nice cuts of NL in my day, never grown any. The smell of a well-grown broken up NL bud is immediately identifiable to me though and anyone who was toking in Ontario in the late 90's know's exactly what I mean. Smells like fucking high school to me. The Taste is'nt really there though, even on the cultivars that smell like "real good NL"

In the High Times 25 Greatest Strains of All-Time, NL is #7. Considering its taste and smell, the high must be really good in order for it to have been such a popular strain for such a long time. That's my guess, at least. To be honest, I've only every tried it once but I thought it was a great nighttime smoke.
Hey, Blueberry is at #10. Peak's got great versions of two, top-ten strains!!

NL has contributed to the genetics of many modern strains. It's potent, hardy, easy to grow and to clone, good structure, and crosses well. It deserves its spot. An analogy: while modern music has gotten more cluttered, most of its components can be found in basic 3-chord blues and rock, and many of us prefer the classics. Think of the Ramones compared to modern 'rock'.
His classic IBLs are what brought me to Peak in the first place. It's too bad most people today seem to want poly-hybrids with dumb names and the same old muddy indica stone.
Yeah I’m in total agreement that NL is an amazing breeding tool. Totally deserves its place in top 25. It’s predominance in the 90’s black market is a no brainer. Low odour, high mold resistance, ideal structure for illicit hydro grows, and fast hitting trippy Indica stone which no could argue with.

Just checked email and found one from MikeJ from a couple days back, anybody else get this? A plan he's been working on for a while is launching.
Not trying to be mysterious but I'm not sure if he's just piloting it or if it's a full launch so I don't want to yap about something I have no business yapping about.

Okay cool, it looks like it's a full on launch.
I think it's a great idea for rec growers with low plant numbers and hopefully a way for MJ to expand his market. Lots of people won't touch regs because they can't chance a male, but this eliminates that possibility.
Best of luck to him.
