Really wish I saved my 89 NL#5 Noof x BCSC NL #5 but I did hit her with some Sakura pollen.
Still need to run NL#2 x ā88G13/HP and ā89NL#5 Noof x Snow Lotus by Bodhi & Coastalās ā88G13/HP x NL #1
The 89NL#5 noof x BCSC NL#5 was like forest floor and like black pepper garlic hash. Super special. Kicking myself for not passing out more cuts to people that probably wouldāve saved.
Hope yāall are well. Canāt wait to see how these turn out. If any more are available would like to jump on in!

This is almost exactly what the stem rub on the male I kept of NL5Haze x SensiStar. Itās like a black pepper teriyaki-ish asian seasoning type smell Only 19 days into flower so not sure on the smells from the girls yet but should know soon.
Sorry to hear you lost your cuts, hopefully you find something similar again ^^

Thought this may be interesting to some:
Im not a Riot fan (donāt care much either way) but an interview with Seattle Greg I thought would be good.
Some interesting stuff in there. Not super compelling, but NL info straight from the horses mouth at least!

huh, this is real interestingā¦
So NL is originally an afghani. Greg took the Afghani and crossed it to all kinds of stuff to make the various #'s but he didnāt do them all himself either.
None of these are in the correct breeding order as know one knows what order it was originally 
It seems Greg had a hand in the first two, but did not have anything to do with the NL5.
NL1 = (Gregās) Afghani x (likely) Mazaar I Shariff from Neville
NL2 = (Gregās) Afghani x Afghani Hybrid from āThe Indianā
And then this is where it gets really cloudyā¦
NL5 = (Gregās) Afghani x Afghani Hybrid(hawaii/thai, only āSteveā knows) and then iām unsure from here. The way he speaks it sounds like heās saying that they had that and then crossed it to NL2 to make the actual NL5 that got released, but he could mean they had NL5 that was the released version and Steve crossed it to NL2 later.

seedfinders a wonderful thing if you donāt know the lineage on these strains.

Right, just these NLās are real shady. Most of this we already knew but itās nice hearing it from the source as a 100% fact of what happenedā¦ or at least about as close to the source as we can get unless Steve is still around somewhere and wants to chime in.
From looking at other things, like seedfinder and coming back to this, I do think he meant they had the hybrid crossed back to the afghani, and then crossed it to NL2 to make the real NL5 that got released.

the nlās arenāt shady its the fact lots dont know what theyāre talking about.
New people are growing and talking to other new growers who donāt know and
have heard a version they put in stone.
This is how stories are made and truths get lost.
You need to really watch who youāre talking to some just like to hear themselves talk.

For sure, itās definitely like that on most this stuff. Iāve been following the NL history for years though and just from looking at skunkman samās posts and nevilleās posts both on ICMAG and elsewhere, it gets convoluted real fast on what came from who, when, and where. Much less what exactly is in them.
Weāve had the general statement of what they are, like whatās on seedfinder, but even that is very sparse. Like OK itās an agfhani or indica cross, thereās a billion of those. Now we KNOW part of NL2 is Mazaar I Shariff. And we KNOW the original afghani that is the basis of NL came from a solder that was stationed in Afghanistan, can likely narrow that down to the exact area he got it from. Neville and Sam never mentioned any of that. Ever. Not that I can find anywhere at least.
After growing some blueberry crosses, seeing a bunch of thaiās grown out, and looking at my own NL5 hybrids, I do think the hybrid was a Thai plant. I know thatās what the general consensus is too, but even now with this interview we still donāt have a 100% either way.

NL#1 = Steve Murphy Afghani x Nevilās Mazar I Sharif
NL#2 = NL#1 x Donās aka āThe Indianā Afghan. Nevil later crossed NL#2 with Jim Ortegas Kush 4 and sold it as his NL#2 line.
Original #5 clone = Herbies Afghani x Hawaiian
NL#5 from seed = Original #5 clone x NL#1, which is where Nevil found is NL#5 cut.
US #5 clone is not the same as Nevilās NL#5.

Yeah there we go. But again, the #5 is shady af. US#5 vs Nevilleās #5ā¦ then thereās this clone x nl2 to make NL5 talk in the interviewā¦
