R2 weed

Altruist said:

Well this is amusing lol ... Yes I have D's blessing, and we didn't stop communicating. Can't say I'm surprised he has with others though, considering people are sharing his emails and speaking on his behalf in public forums.
Anything else I can help with?

Yea, my 1990's R2 BX line will stomp ass, that's true, but the feminized 1990's R2 S1 will burry any other R2 or NL2 line alive... and to be clear with you, if i am speaking on behalf of anything in here i am speaking on behalf of that R2, not D! I just chat with the b'y and we share weed pics, send beans and herbs back and forth like civilized normal people do. Wanna talk about amused? lol, I guess I didn't realize we were supposed to keep our friendships with D on the DL.
*Good luck with "your" D's NL2R2 homie

My bad bud, I actually didn't mean you - it was clear to me you are all about that R2 not the glam around it, I like the work you're doing and didn't think you disrespected D. I should have clarified better, but I thought i did by complimenting your project. No idea who "the b'y" is though.
That being said, and I'll say this for everyone so don't feel targetted lol ; I do feel there's an unspoken respect that we share for eachothers privacy, in the canna community especially, and I do know for a fact that D likes to keep under he radar for the most part... and that's the only thing I will say on his behalf. I don't really understand how anyone could think it's ok to quote and share messages or emails from another person's conversation. You don't see me quoting d's emails to prove the world I have his blessing. Believe me or don't lol we are all free

No no it's cool, i know, I caught the backstroke u were doing when you realized you stepped right in it so let's knee cap the passive aggressive stuff for a sec and drag this out in the street for a good beating. "I" am the only person in this thread who shared with the room any emails from D...(namely the pics D sent me of his NL2R2, in a thread dedicated to R2, while specifically discussing the differences or similarity between D's NL2R2 and the original clone) how is that disrespectful? And "I" am the only person who discussed anything about D like that he is a guy from NB, (like most of us in the thread i presume), or that he was Nevils pal and worked outta the seed bank...ALL that shit was literally "published" for the public to read on his instagram right? So who cares, it's not like i offered this chat room his fucking home address or his medical records. I myself don't care in the least what you do with the seeds D gave you and I think it's good u got consent from D to market D's NL2R2 IBL under D's initial and everything. You do you. But to people who have an issue with what you are doing perhaps it is because it kinda comes off like hitchhiking on another mans credentials. So yes, you are correct "we are all free", however! If this were the music industry you would owe legally enforcable royalties on every dollar you make off covering D's song. Not that I give a fuck personally or cared to have this out in writing.

Bud we (those that received R2/NL#2) all have a his blessing to work with his R2/NL#2, the biggest difference is you (like a parasite) ran to chuck his shit asap in order to step on his toes, heck you don't even give him credit for his own line. What kind of respect is that?
GTFOH

So who popped the pheno we call R2?

I was already a clone in 1996 when we first saw it.

Does buddy from NB have other old worked lines?

indeed! It's actually incredible. One of his last posts before he deleted was a Mighty Mite from a seed over 30yrs old.

Big Bud x Mighty Mite produced a pheno that smelled like over riped pears and plums kinda fermented fruit. Tasted like candy Lime green and finished fast
Mighty Mite was good

You guys remember a company called Maritime Outdoor Seed company in Emery’s catalog? Think they were in Oregon
Did they have a line called R2

I think i have heard this somewhere, someone earlier in this thread or another R2 thread in here also a company called General G connected to Marc Emery too

That’s it General G maritime outdoors seeds.. I grew a Durban cross, Double Whammy and another. Should have grabbed the R2 . They had some decent resistant lines

burnend man i aint back tracking, you clearly took it personally and didnt need to and are almost as far off base as the dude i was talking about - rocketboy.
now rocketboy - D aint mad at me, nobody is. I'm not going to apologize or act like this is a pissing match, take a deep breath there guy, maybe lay off the sativa dom's for a few days lol

I was given the blessing to work and sell the R2 in Pure or crossed form, without putting "D" on the packaging, well before the seeds were ever even popped.
These seeds were always, and always will be, only "sold" to raise money for charities, crowd funding, and to promote cannabis preservation projects. That was my choice and not a stipulation with D.
End of story my brothers. Get a clue before turning on your kin

hmm, you're right, i was a little off wasn't I...it's more like a moonwalk than backstroke because to quote YOU "Can't say I'm surprised he has with others though, considering people are sharing his emails and speaking on his behalf in public forums". Seems the first half was aimed at me and the last half was aimed at rocket. (you and rocket can have your end out) But only I shared pics of D's NL2R2 that he sent me by email...lol as i noted* I shared pics of D's NL2R2, in a R2 chat room, discussing the differences between D's NL2R2 and mine the 90's R2. It's a weed pic asshole not a SIN number, chill out. You seem to have placed your relationship with D on a pedestal dude. It's ugly. I just don't treat my relationship with him as such, sorry if that jerks you off wrong.

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this but weren’t people just talking about getting seed orders from Nevil sent from within the US?

“The Holland Seed Bank was a rather sophisticated operation; when somebody from the United States ordered seeds from the Netherlands, they had to send actual cash to the Netherlands, and the Seed Bank catalog suggested wrapping the cash in carbon paper to avoid detection. The seeds were then sent to the buyer from within the United States, as Nevil set up deals with various Americans where he would ship them bulk seeds and they would redistribute those seeds based on the letters and then later faxes, they received with instructions containing codes for different varieties and how many packs, with an address to send them to.”

lol, thank god for etransfers.

(For the room) right now I am in week3 of flower with the real 90's R2 clone, currently at 14on/10off. I have been tapering its light hrs down by 30mins every few days. It triggered at 15on/9off. Maximum stretch was maybe 4inches over the last 17days. AND I have another pair outside the exact same age that I am preparing for feminization... check out the difference in leaf geometry between the indoor version and outdoor version of the same clone.
This is epigenetics at work, and the reason I chose to make seeds outside. This kind of thing is inheritable and would result in a phenotype variation in the seeds where some would default to thinner leaves and darker green, and some would stay true to form with wide leaves and emerald green. Easy to forget this particular plant is a clone of a clone of a clone and so on, from the mid nineties held by only 1 family the whole time and has NEVER been grown under LED light before.

Damn dude, you’re really putting in the work! Lots of respect for your attention to the details and all the knowledge you’re sharing. I had never even heard of epigenetics before, very interesting stuff.

pretty similar to the rest of the "R2" variants out there. I watched D's insta close all summer comparing his NL2R2 line to the original clone only mid 90's NL2 that got known as R2, and I noticed D's NL2R2 is slightly earlier to trigger to bloom like 5 to 8 days sooner. Nothing major but probably showing the selection D has done on this seedline himself here in NB since 2002. Anyway D deleted his instagram before his garden finished so i never got to see a harvest time on it.

He told me it was middle to the end of September for the R2 he has worked, a little earlier than some of the variants out there.

Here's my R2 variant. I (like everyone with a cut) like to believe it is the original cut, but as I mentioned before, there are many varients. I gave one to dehash (D), he believes it has some skunk in it, so we are trying to figure out if the original R2 cut had the skunk in it. D's inbred line is supposedly Nl2 as dehash remembers it


And here's the D's Freezeland/R2 cross I grew of his.


They were quite beautiful. 2/3 of those ^^^ were single stalk, and as you can see, there's also some sativa in her.
