About the nevils, you might be closer than you think. Nevil could very well be the father of the auto.. LBH on icrag posted some interesting comments made to him from nevil about his auto haze. I will post them here as they are interesting. Puts into question the origins of LR#1.. The rudi x NL might have been from nevil.
BTW. GREAT PICS EVERYONE!!!!

The subject of Haze keeps coming up.
I got mine from Sam the Skunkman in the 80's. I bought a couple of thousand of old stock late 60s/ 70. The first batch that I planted produced one plant, a female. It was the slowest to flower I'd ever come across and flowered for longer. I got 3 different crops of seed of it and it had still not finished. It was huge and filled a quarter of the room, it had wispy buds and when you smoked it, other people complained about the smell. It didn't have much resin and after 9 months flowering, with no end in sight, I chopped it. It seem the most impractical plant I'd ever grown. I didn't keep a cutting.
One of the males I crossed it with was Ruderalis x NL1 X NL1. I was testing a 25% Ruderalis male on the most difficult plant I'd come across to see what it would do. I used all the seed I had to find the earliest male for the next generation. I grew the females out and because it was so resinous, I made hash out of it. To this day it was the best hash I've ever smoked, and I've been privileged to have smoked the best.
I truly regret not having made a cutting of that plant. I didn't make that mistake with the 6 that followed.
I'm feeling a bit sad now, I think that I'll go and have a smoke.
I'll tell you the rest later.

When I first started using Ruderalis, I was trying to eradicate everything from the wild plant except the early flowering gene. NL1 was the opposite of Ruderalis, so I crossed it with that and then put the earliest son back to the mother. The earliest son from that was put to a Haze and I grew the offspring outdoors in Holland. I started flowering early, but didn't finish in the short Dutch Autumn. Still, I had some outdoor Haze bud in Holland.
I also crossed the R.1x1 to NL5 about 8 times, always using males that flowered at the 4th internode. It peaked after 5 back-crosses and didn't get better after that.
I never did NL5r X NL5r like I was planning to, ended up in jail instead.
It's up to you now mate, there is a good selection of Haze type available to cross it to.

Could the shady lady be the precurser to LR? If nevil never went to jail would we have a totaly different auto? I think the auto was going to happen no matter what. People were onto some thing.Originally Posted by Nevil
Ruderalis.Shady LadyxNL1 X NL1. I wanted to see how the Ruderalis gene would cope with the most difficult plant in the world. I just threw a handful of these seeds in a large pot with rockwool and chopped the males. They were ripe before the mother. I hung them on the line and more or less forgot about them. After I smoked the mother, I went looking for them and decided to make hash out of it. It had been dry for a while and it was brittle. It had plenty of resin which started coming off the buds as I moved them. It was the best damn hash that I've ever smoked. .
