the history of NL

Described as a “state of the art indoor indica”, Northern Lights became a house hold name after making its way from the Pacific North West to the Netherlands, where it arrived in the possession of Nevil Schoenmakers, owner of The Seed Bank, Holland’s first cannabis seed company and the original “King of Cannabis”. According to Jorge Cervantes, a long time writer for High Times magazine, Northern Lights was originally bred by a man known as “The Indian” on an Island near Seattle, Washington in the United States of America. In Jorge’s version of events detailing the history of Northern Lights there were a total of eleven seeds held by “The Indian” that were labeled Northern Lights #1 through Northern Lights # 11. Among the eleven Northern Lights plants, Northern Lights #5 is said to have been the best of the group with Northern Lights #8 and #1 said to have been of above average quality as well. Described as a 70 day variety indoors which finishes by October in the Northern Hemisphere outdoors, Cervantes’ description of Northern Lights states that its primarily an Afghani Indica which was hybridized with a Thai sativa. Described as very stable, with a piney taste and a THC percentage of over 15% this description has become synonymous with reports of Northern Lights the world over. With a very favorable flower to leaf ratio, it is described as having a purple tinge to the leaves late in the flowering cycle.


Original Northern Lights #5 CuttingThe story goes that all the various Northern Lights plants that were given to Neville Schoenmaker at the Seed Bank were female clones. Soon after, many new plants showed up on the Seed Bank list, including several different Northern Lights strains. This is where the history begins to get a bit hazy. How exactly these new seeds came to be is unclear but apparently Neville Schoenmaker used the plants that he got from the Indian to create new hybrids by further crossing them to some males of Afghani origin. He might have acquired them from the same source as the females but the Northern Lights males were never labeled, so their history remains unclear. The best guess is that Neville Schoenmaker created the new seeds by further hybridizing and inbreeding the plants that he acquired from the Indian to his old stock. Northern Lights #1 was described as a true breeding Afghani IBL (inbred line), suggesting that it contained none of the Thai Sativa that was later incorporated into some of the Northern Lights strains. At what point the Thai Sativa was infused into the genetic lineage is however unclear. Most likely it was bred into the Northern Lights #2 hybrid at some point. Regardless of their origin or genetic makeup, two particular males labeled Northern Lights #1 and Northern Lights #2 are clearly mentioned as the fathers of many new plants in a Seed Bank catalogue from the 1980’s. Northern Lights #2, a wonderfully potent Northern Lights #1-Hindu Kush hybrid, is still offered by Dutch Passion under the name Oasis. There is also some Northern Lights #2 in Aurora B from The Flying Dutchmen.


G`day YB

re NL

When Nevil was posting @ Mr Nice he revealed a lot of information about his breeding stocks . He said he received clones as well as seeds . NL#1 was a Male .

Thanks for sharin

Why did you say that gary's last name might be grimm? surely "grimm bros" were named after "the brothers grimm" the german brothers who wrote and collected fairy tales? Their names weren't really grimm, what'd be the point of having a pseudonym that's also your name? Were they even brothers?
Accusing them of stealing the identity of the "real" grimm brothers (apparently including "Gary Grimm")? Are you high? ;-)


If you want to say you were growing at 11 fine, but multiple plants from 27 strains? Who gives an 11 year old a farm? Oh and you must have kept up those numbers while being in the navy I assume?

"Hey guys don't launch torpedo tube 5, I replaced the explosive charge with my micro grow."



I do like that you've come here to tell us a bedtime story, and it's sweet you don't really know how the internet works. But it'd be nice if you could write a bit better, it's hurting my head trying to turn your nostalgic breakdown into readable english. I suggest correct punctuation and sentences, it'd not bother me except you post huge chunks of unintelligable text.



Here's something you wrote cleaned up a bit, there's no need for a space before punctuation marks, there's no need for elipses to occur that often and generally they have 3 not 2 dots.
Also fullstops/periods go at the end of a sentence, not the middle.

I outright agree, I think what you're posting (these details of Northern Lights) are very interesting. I don't know if this Gary knew this Indian , but I was there in February of 1979 my ships movements can prove that to the day. I believe it was the 4th. But the fact is, when I asked him what was in the bag, he said; its a 5 year old male NL from the Vancouver area. That's all he said, he did not say anything about this Indain dude. If you take 5 years off 1979, that's 1974. I can not change the details I can only try to under stand what they mean.

Don't get me wrong I agree that Gary had to have gotten the seeds or plant from somewhere or someone. He knew what the strain was, he was a perfectionist don't think he'd have been wrong about how old that male was. It looked somewhat like the BC seeds NL strain to me.
It did not look that special other than having a big ass stalk, about 3 1/2 ft high, it was out right the oldest [as you've said the male was 5 I assume you mean "oldest female plant"] plant there at 3 1/2 years old.
The other male [what other male?] looked to be about 5 years out by the stalk size. I never cared until I posted on here. I don't care now, I just wanted someone else to know about these details. I have nothing to prove here, I just told the story the way it happened. If you figure it [what?] out let me know. I will stand by the details I was there and I saw these plants and talked with Gary myself, it is what it is.

I can say we both laughed when he said the biker he got the MT mother plant from was this biker named Jack, jack had this old chromed out shovelhead all chrome. But I guess he hurt his back and the bike was chain to a railing in front of his house and it was getting rusty. A lot of people knew jack, I had a new 1300 full dress Goldwing and I rode up the coast a few dozen times looking to see what strains I could find, I was shocked he knew jack. jack lived in side the edge of the town in a hotel. I guess he had lived there for a long time, 8-10 years. I met him when I stop to ask if the Harley was for sale, not at $50,000, a little pricey for my wallet back then.
You ever ride the coastal road on a bike? its beautiful, one of the nicest place on earth and there are some of the best strains on earth there.
I like the fact some strains came up the coast and you could see strains like PR [Panama Red?], AG [Acupulco Gold?] and CG [Columbian Gold?] the real strains [not strains, "landraces", and technically speaking landraces aren't strains] not crosses or want a bees [what?]... I miss those days, too many people trying to find a buck nowadays.

You take care, I told you what I know, I can not change what he told me.

Be honest man, your mania is wearing off and you feel kinda silly. :tiphat:

Im sorry tazz but you are a liar

You claim that your imaginary friend made apollo11 back in the seventies... How the fuck did he do that when its a cross between genius and cinderella99 made around 2000, both genius and c99 originated from seeds found in a bud of Jack herrer bought in Amsterdam, and Jack herrer was made by sensi seeds in the mid nineties

Someone close this shit down

I'm more confused about the claim that:

"Matanuska Thundera" = Matanuska Thundera X NL

and that he was making more backcrosses to NL.


You stated that "Gary" got it from "Jack"?

So Gary didn't produce the strain? and he didn't name it?

The claim is that he... what? "refined" Matanuska Thundera by making it at least 75% NL?


and that makes other peoples strains of MT less valid because they contain... more MT?



But thanks for switching from Strain Conspiracy Theorist to Doomsayer. If ICMag does go down (And I hope it doesn't I'd miss all the guys) I don't think it'd be because we didn't believe your bullshit story.

So you met some biker with a common name and now you are a breeder? It's going to be ok but no one cares. If the guys name was Mike you would be telling us it was Michael Jackson cause he was only wearing 1 glove.
