What does everybody consider the best Northern Lights out there in seed form?
I have a elite āpineyā pheno mother based on old sensi NL #1/#5 and old bcsc NL#5 that seems to have lost something after all these years. Took some clones and currently flowering out the mother plant.
Iām leaning towards some Mr Nice Ortega and PeakSeedsBC gear. Anything else worth trying?

Ak beans has nl1(nl1Ćnl5), if you can find mel, or her gear she has 89nl5, also sinister seeds on ig has the same 89nl5 but at f8 0r f9 now.

Mel is a dude 
Mel Frank, which is a pen name for James Goodwin. Todd Mccormick is doing F2ās of some NL5 straight from Greg McAllister but think preorders just closed the other day for that. AKBB got the same seeds and is working them too. Iām not sure if his NL5 Bx is them or if itās still on the way.
I have a bunch of seeds of nl5haze x Sensi Star from Mel Frank, 2012 open pollination(2nd OP he did) that I āF2ādā, but these girls run like +/- 80 days.

Thereās actually 2 Melās, Mel Frank (the guy) and Mel from Melvanetics (the chick) with her 89NL#5.

Oooh my bad then. Good call 
Hazeman has/had a Northern Lights F1 over on DCSE, I mightāve picked up the last pack but he labelled it as
a cross of a female picked from IRG old school Northern lights hit with a male from Melās 89 Northern lights #5 stock.
I just know that Mel Frank also offered a 89NL#5 at some point too. I figured hazeman was referring to him, not Melvanetics

I ordered a pack of Hazeman NL last month. My question to him was what IRG stood for, I wish I had asked which Mel he was referring to as well, I figured female Mel. I just sent off the question to him, should know soon enough.
BTW, IRG stands for Ice River Genetics

Oh nice! Thanks for doing so and letting me know. Would be super interested on what that IRG means too as I have no idea. My Google-Fu came up with nothing 
And yeah, definitely seems the consensus is that Mel is short for Melvanetics. I guess I was the only one that assumed wrong on that

Just spoke with IRG on IG about his NL strain that Hazeman used. Apparently itās a mix of NL2 and NL5 varieties and when I asked if itās IBL he said āno, there were some back crosses but mostly just selective breedings. i made selection in favor of plant structure, original flavor and effect and easy growth/management.ā
