US #5 cut is the supposed original NL#5, which most likely didn’t contain any NL. The Afghan was different from those used in NL#1, or not? Greg didn’t real clear that up for me.
Again, Nevil’s is US #5 cut (Afghan x Hawaiian) x Northern Lights #1 = NL#5
Your NL#5 in that cross is possibly from the old NL5x2, worked to the NL#5 side.
I just don’t remember anyone else other than nevil offering NL5 x NL 1 back in the day so I assumed ak bean brains was nevil stock since he seems to have so much other stuff from the same era
From my 89nl5 thread on IC
"AKBB NL5 x NL5 is (92 Marc Emery x Alaskan NL 5)
The 92 emery is from the marc emery catalog hes a seed broker not a breeder its most likely BCSC if you look at the old catalog
And then the male side Alaska NL5 circulating back then"
The NL#1 AKBB used is the same as Mrbobhemphill and the guys at Coastal seeds.
Thank you for the history
If its from emery its iffy at best, as bad as logic and his copycat crew
Any idea which line of Afghan, or what Hawaiian? Just curious, idea of making the cross again and searching though to see if one could find something similar in the the mix. I know just crossing different parents of same strains will be a new set of genetic cards, but it’s just about finding that one keeper lol.
No idea, NL Greg also has no idea.
I would suggest a good Hashplant (Kandahar) and thai.
Pop those StarLite and you might just forget about Afghan x thai route.
I will most certainly go through the starlites once I have the space, but that’s like at after at least two other batches of seeds (testers). It’s more out of a curiosity than anything lol. When I read Afghan and Hawaiian, my mind kinda jumped to Afghan 1 or kush and Maui Wowie (only Hawaiian that came to mind lol) crossed and seeing if any thing remotely close to NL will come up but with a twist.
I’ve always believed a heavy Afghani Hashplant crossed to a pure Thai/Mexican/Columbian would throw out legendary stuff
It’s definitely a project I have in mind, just need the Kandahar and thai. I already have Mex and Columbian, and HP.
Something like Cherry Queen crossed to Maui Waui 
Knowing the people and collectors on this forum, just need to put the word out and you’ll have many many offers lol.
Kandahar Hashplants

Just looked up cherry queen, wow 
yea that would be good strains to cross stuff too lol. The pics of bodhi cherry queen has me drooling.
Wow, that hashplant looks beautifully cultivated!
Thank you. This really explains a lot. My buddy who got his NL5 cut in Chico/Paradise area back in 1984 also got an Afghani and a Hawaiian at the same time from the same people. The Afghani never liked being indoors so it has since been lost but he still has the other two.
Hmmmmm🤔 I have the cherry queen well a partial pack anyway was thinking of doing a f2 with them at some point but this does sound like something epic
Yeah I’m still on the fence about buying a pack of it. Kinda just been hoping someone would give out some F2’s here 
I do have a pack of @Comacus Mandana(CQxX18) that I’m planning to run before too long here. Take that to Sebrings Maui Waui 
One thing is for sure when I do get into the cherry queen some kind of seeds will be made for sure and mister 
has first dibs since he gave me the cherry queen in one of his charity sprees 
but they are definitely at the very top of the bodhi list to run them and space monkey will probably run together
Edit: I totally forgot to go back to Sebrings before the maui wowie was gone 
some one get me some pollen and I’ll make the cross
Still got time bro 
Yeah I’ll have to set an alarm would really like to see if I can just score some pollen would make it much easier on me then having to run through more plants I think I would be more likely to f2 the cherry queen that way as well just pollinate a clone with the maui
Having so little space and so many ideas is a real hinderance lol if I had to search through maui as well idk how exactly I would proceed to many different options and so many people will have a different opinion lol
I do definitely want some Maui pollen though I would definitely make some cool old school crosses with it just don’t want to tie up all my space on projects
I’m also a fan of selective pollination I know open pollination is better for the whole but for my personal use I would rather go down one avenue then have to run through a bunch of plants Everytime I’m looking for that particular pheno that said I think I only got 5 cherry queen seeds so my F2 would definitely not be as diverse as a typical preservation run
Edit: someone please buy the rest of the damn ghost town so I can do the preservation run on these moTR sent this pack to me almost a year ago and they have been burning a hole in my pocket and now that I got the ghost clone I could do a little backcross as well at the same time 
Only issue with the current Maui release is… they’re fem beans. So gonna have to use STS to get the pollen and make more fems, or use a male CQ. Unless @Sebring has some spare pollen he would part with? Definitely need the Maui as the donor and not the mom to keep with the spirit of NL I think…
I hear ya on the rest. Doing selective breeding for myself too and the plant limit is a massive pain. Have Goji’s I’m gonna have to chop just to stay in the limit. If I was to dedicate a run I might do open pollination but selective just makes more sense to me. I’d rather work the line than keep it open with no real direction.
