I thought I would open up a discussion around a beloved variety, Northern Lights #1
My experience with NL#1 has been through AKBB NL1, AKBB NL1 x ACC NL1, and the 3 way AKBB x ACC x Deep Ellum. I have run her for 5 years now and continue to love this line. I have most recently found something very special in the 3 way freebie. I still have the cut. She is a very stinky fruity gas type that has huge dense cola’s. Very narcotic stone that cuts through any strain. Did well outdoors last year in a extremely favorable fall.
I am just wondering if anyone over here wants to share their experiences with NL#1?
Would like to see if anyone is holding onto NL#1 seed stock. Maybe some one is holding onto a cut? Share your love for NL#1!
I have AKBB NL#1 and I think some from another breeder I can’t remember. I was debating on running an NL here soon as I also have some #2, and 5. Smoked a lot of killer NL back in the day but I can’t remember which one was the super dank piney one that was my favorite. I think it was NL#2 that leaned mostly to the piney side but I could be wrong and it might have been an NL#1.
Thanks for sharing @SeymourGreen . You should definitely run some more NL!
I have limited experience with NL#2, only a couple plants coming from AG seeds. I have also run some packs of NL#5 from AKBB and AG seeds. Best was AKBB NL5 in the hoop. Sweet pine earthy hashy goodness!
I dont have the seeds you are asking for but your descriptions about #5 are very close to what I experienced with Linda Seeds NL 2 years ago.
I have no perpetual run and could not keep her. She had that sweet earthy, musky, hasy,grassy, dreamy taste with a strong balanced euphoric high. Even if she had no high I would still roll her buds.
Darkish green leaves with long stems, medium sized hard nugs darker than leaves.
She flowered very slowly unlike other phenos and finished about 75 days with not much smell and that spesific taste at the beginning. After about 3 weeks of cure I realized what I catched there and felt kind of sad cause I was keeping a keeper in the jar. Smoked her for 3 months, one roll per day. I tried 2 more seeds in the next garden but no catch.
According to the breeder information, it is a #5 X #9 cross. I ordered another 10 pack and will be hunting this summer hopefully. Ohh that taste and buzz
I got some beans 10 years back from a guy in Alaska, (friend of a friend).
He was supposed to be famous on TV or Online. “Alone in Alaska” or something, think his name was Cory.
Anyway, I popped some NL’s and was hooked. I ordered 50 more beans, they’ve been in my fridge all this time.
I even had one male that turned almost completely black but I lost that run of them when I got in a life-threatening car wreck.
I love them so much, that I have 3 more versions from different sources.
I remember back when there were no Indicas around and they weren’t even known about by any locals.
The first time I read HighTimes (in 1986 or so) I was facinated by all of the different strains. THseeds had the shit back then but overseas.
Over the years I found a lot of the Indica strains that sounded like keepers but never found Chocolate Chunk but I did find Deep Chunk, and a few others.
Thank you for making this thread,
my intention all along was to do an open repop. Maybe this year, I also have an early Master Kush variety that I believe has a parent that’s NL#1. It’s 4:11 am have a good weekend.
I’ve got about 30 12 inch clones flowering outdoors of nl 2 they are super squat . With long stems on the leaves . Will reveg 2 clones and make more nl2 fem seeds
I did the same thing with that special NL#5. I had it sitting in the jar until I finally tried it and was amazed on how a good cure can bring out some very amazing tastes and smells that were not there before.
Now my NL#1 keeper was banging from the beginning of harvest. Still has the same pungency just the fuel transfered slightly to a fruity one. Really special stuff. I could tell she was going to be good after multiple loud stem rubs throughout the season.
I just received some NL #9 seeds from AKBB, sourced from Heime Cheeba ACC, he said they are a mexican x afghani.
I’m curious where you have sourced your NL’s?
No problem! I hope you see your breeding efforts comes to fruition!
Sound like a fun project! Any chance you have some photo’s or a grow log so we can follow?
@Radicle_Reefer you need some more AG NL#2? I’d love to see them grown out before germ rates drop. I have to slow down my growing for quite a while unfortunately.
First pic is my nl2 mother the other pics are from the grower I got the seeds from. Heard from another grower who grew these seeds out that’s it’s real fire. I’m about 4 weeks away from harvest. Will take some pics today when I’m out bush
I was listening to this today. Bob Hemphill, while at Coastal Seeds, talking about NL #1 a good amount throughout the whole interview. He talks about Kaygu getting NL#1 stock from classic seeds. They have asked that the NL#1 seeds not get out pure. I personally think it’s a shame. I am curious if anyone has any has run out classic seeds NL#1?
trying to hoard it tbh that ain’t cool in my book it isn’t there line and it’s been in the public domain many times so I don’t see the point except greed obviously anyway vision seeds sells s1s no regs though
It is just a 3 way in terms of 3 different NL#1 lines coming together. Deep Ellum NL1 x AKBB NL1 x ACC NL1. They were offered as freebies after a JBC order.
Yeah, I hope they change their mind. I will have to check out Vision Seeds NL1 S1 work.
The AKBB NL#1 x A.C.C. NL#1 is definitely more of a raw open pollinated line. Where the AKBB NL#1 line seems a bit more selected and refined. Amazing stuff to be found in both. Might just have to look at more plants in the akbb x acc NL #1, but more vigor to be found with the added nl1 diversity from acc.
The 3 way NL#1 (Deep Ellum x AKBB x ACC) has even more vigor and diversity with very nice standout plants. Curious if anyone knows if the Deep Ellum NL#1 is a cut or seed stock?
