Should be some big girls in that nl5 if it’s anything like the old cut that was floating around in the 907 area I’ll be watching from a far good luck 
and I hope there’s a keeper.

Oh fuck! This is super cool. I’m totally following this one, I love seeing direct comparisons, AMF these genetics are, obviously, legendary pieces of cannabis history

What AG strain did you get?
Got Skunk 1 and Haze during their 2 for 100 sale and then got a freebie of purest indica.
Real excited to see how they look. Ive got some personal crosses that I’ve wanted to work some more squat stature and earlier maturing into and hoping to see something in them that will be worthwhile

I’ll pull up a stump. AKBB has some good old gear.

On December 21, I sowed 5 AKBB NL5 x NL1 seeds. Two successfully sprouted and are doing well.
The other 3 seeds didn’t make it.
On December 30, I sowed 5 AG seeds and 4 more AKBB seeds.
All 5 of the AG seeds are above ground and none of the 4 AKBB seeds made it.
On January 2, I began the germination process of the remaining 5 AKBB seeds.
I read up on how to successfully germinate old/weak seeds and so far I can see tails coming out of a few of these stubborn seeds. Looks promising but who knows.
The AABB seeds I received were very light, look immature and difficult to sprout.
All of the AG seeds look dark, healthy and fully mature.
I’ve never grown any gear from either of these breeders so I don’t have any favorites.
Although, I’ve heard nothing but good things about Mr AKBB and his gear.

Hell ya… this is a grow I can get behind. I Have a few different packs of NL from AG, AKBB and CSI. Would love to do a side by side like this if I had more space.
I’m all buckled up for this one!

Only 2 of the 14 AKBB beans sprouted. As you can see in previous post, these seeds were very light in color and not fully mature. 
Should I contact the seller (JBC Seeds) or Mr AKBB himself?
Anyway, I was able to sprout two and they smell great in veg.
The AKBB are the large dark green ones. They’re a few weeks ahead of the AG.

I had a similar problem when ordering AKBB stuff through JBC. Dave made good when I ordered direct and told him about my issues. The direct order beans were in much better condition.
From what I have read and gathered, he freezes his beans, meaning when you get his beans from a bank, they may have been frozen and thawed twice before you get them in the mail.
This is all speculation. I am an AKBB fan and advocate, aswell as JBC, and I had the same issue as you did with some Consumption beans.

The short stocky AKBB smells delicious. The taller AK smells similar but definitely not as good and strong.
The AG are lighter in color, don’t have that much of an aroma at the moment but are still a couple weeks younger. Going to take clones from the two AKBB this weekend.
