I only grew Newberry, Potent Purple, and G-SUS. That Royal Hawaiian is supposed to be a real stinker. In the 2005 seed catalog there were 47 vars offered. There was a scale 1-6. Smell was rated, amongst other things. Of all 47, Royal Hawaiian was the only one clocking in at 6. G-SUS was rated 5.5.
So your friend only sent the empty packs, or did you get the seeds as well? I remember Nutcruncher was one I had my eye on for a bit. As well as PH.
Room is looking on point.
this is all various PK stuffs
And thank u
Thanks hombre
thanks man I was really expecting these to double/triple in height I’m happy that doesn’t seem to be happening
I threw everything I could at them to limit the stretch and it seems to be paying off
Def gonna incorporate these methods into future runs

he sent me
Double afghan slam, orange Pekoe Cambodian, royal Hawaiian and petrolia headstash I believe, some are just empty cuz he already grew them in the past 15-20 years
I’ll be popping the royal HI and OPC soon

If you are willing to share, curious what methods you use to limit stretch?
Let’s see how it works out first before I bother, may have jumped the gun
essentially running co2 at night, powerSI in varying amounts, pinching the stems near tops and an array of other goofy shit
In other news,
I guess the local homie still wet trims
haha
but here’s my families Northern Lights cut..
(In his defense he doesn’t have an area to hang and it still will be hella fire regardless)
so grateful to him and his friends words can’t express
To be able to bring a bag of buds and a cut back to my fam when they thought this was lost
it still looks fuckin fantastic and I could t be more geeked to smoke the shit out of it

I think what a lot of people are saying is, how do you know? Like, really know?? TBH if you didn't have the cut for 30+ years, or you know for a fact, like, it was your brother's, and he has pictures from the 80s, you don't know.. Like, I'm really high right now, am I reading something wrong?
I know I got bored and started flipping though to the end pages and still I'm seeing people kinda be like I donno man really really?... And without pictures, people won't really believe you or anyone else had something for that long. And then, well, there are High Times people can go look and see your plants and nugs vs that.
Like, those nugs look like what NL should look about like. The shape is right. The hairs are right. But thats not the be all end all.
I mean, I get it, you can get finished nugs to guys that would know (like, Yeah, me, I'd know, send me some and I'll tell ya), and then they'd know and be able to tell you, yeah, this seems about right... And thats not all.. But first..
As someone mentioned, NL is like, one of the most cloned, hybridized, feminized, bastardized, rationalized, metastasized... super sized? You get the point. Strain of weed. I could walk down the street and find some flowers that smell piney. Its actually pretty common.
Now, can we find a strain of weed that in this modern day and age, tops out at what... what did NL top out at in Thc%, like, 15% if I'm going from memory???
No we can't find weed with percents that low! Unless it was some crap from seed, which it could be. But yeah! Where are you gonna find weed less than 15% THC lol? And we know what NL had for THC percents its one of THE most well tested strains over the years since the 80s, 90s and etc.
I'm sure I can find scientific papers from my library that have sampled northern lights samples from different years and none top out very high. Higher than anything else for that time sure of course but 15% would be laughed at now.. And I'm being liberal 80s and 90s NL is probably like 12% THC. I may have seen one sample as high as 18% but I'm probably thinking of another strain, and that also would have been a sample from post 2000s.
So. That's one way you can somewhat start a process of verification for this cut, is grow out the weed, and get it tested, and it really shouldn't top out more than that I'd say.
I mean, cause TBH I've had what is supposed to be real Northern Lights, and yeah, its fucking good, its why it's stuck around, or it gets grown out and other cuts stick around, and so on.
But yeah, for a 10%THC on avg strain it goes to show terpenes are .... A thing. (personally I also think its other stuff too... Like.. Alkaloids...)
Whats next.. Pictures.. Yeah. Pics of NL from the 80s and 90s and on, nugs and plants, and then you're nugs and plants. Do they concur? If they seem to fit the bill, well Ok then you're on to something.

I mean like. You have a thread title with a 30+ year old cut. I was like oh ok! wheres that pull up a chair emoji.. ... But you didn't even have it for 30+ years. And then it's like, so you SAY it's this old, welllll, is there still something that can show that, to even verify well, okay, these plants at least have the same morphology, so it is likely they are from the same lineage....
And here I am. Now taking pot shots lol.
The point is..> There are dudes on this website, who have personally held cuts for as old or older than you are in actual living years (cuts older than 25 and less than 30.. Or, even over 30 years old),
and they didn't get the cut from a guy, they are the man.
So if you can't see the skepticism, I mean... Come on. I'm on the east coast and I can find like, 5 different people from different states all with "Northern Lights" or NL with some number on it. I'm not joking... And you're on the west. There's a NL cut in nearly every retail front selling cuts.. Pine is a common flavor in cannabis.
So what I'm saying is, aliens. Its definitely aliens.
ALso, it'd be great if its true. Clone it out. Cross it. Keep it to yourself and hoard it. Patent it and license it. But first, verify if it is really really real. Or who cares if it's really super super good, it could be some shit dude grew out from brick weed.
[ like, you should been like, "Hey< I got this thing that I think might be some really old NL cut, I dont know, anyone ever old enough and been around and actually have real old NL? Anyone have any pics and I could see if this is what it is vs mine?... You just came out the gate swinging. Play a slow hand. Insert the fingers gently, and with ample lubrication to help glide them in]

You made a big mistake now..........hes is gonna call you 'my dude'
Have u read the whole thread
Cuz I’m not even reading all that
this cut is the first plant I grew, my grandfather has grown this cut since the mid 80’s
yeah Seattle Greg the guy who gave Nevil the NL lines in the 80’s is just some guy..
he wouldn’t know
Edit: put other people’s names here but I really have nothing to prove to u twats
awwww geeez guys looks like no one I’m getting samples to would know what real NL looks like
PS: it’s been tested at 19%
And I’m not gonna let someone who has started a thread on drying weed in an oven.. ruin my good mood

The bud looks good
thanks man
I don’t get why people have to hate..
and once the truth I’m saying is proven.. I’m not really sure what they’re gonna come up with then
This is quite literally quintessential NL..
To people who know who you are then they know when you relay the information is good info even if you say someone else is telling you
On the other hand someone from the general user base reading someone post “Greg from Seattle said I have the real NL”
A guy just needs to look at it from perspective

I haven’t sent him any yet, and when I send it to my other friends as well just read about it on their IG’s I’m sure some of you follow most of em
I know my NL is real and from the mid 80’s.. just wanna know which one it is
I get what ur saying but I’m simply just documenting here, idc if anyone thinks it’s real or not, I know it is
