1989 Northern Lights #5 made by the legendary Nevil Schoenmakers (RIP).
Hi.@sbeanonnamellow I would not worry too much about the pedigree written down aforementioned by @willydread
Ortega MLI aka AfgT, has nothing to do with the NL Lines. Mishap from Mr Nice naming a NL5xNL1 line “Ortega”

I would also like to point out two versions that are usually pushed aside just because of the ridiculous price, kcbrain nl special and nirvana nl, sometimes their stuff is special....
One plant.

Very very nice smoke. I renamed it Boreal Lights because I haven't seen a NL like this before. It's in my sig.
MNS Ortega is NL5 x NL1 as it says on MNS web site.@goat exactly my point mns ortega came from bag seed labelled (Ortega 15xAfgTx Sk) < as MNS puts it "Basically full Afghan" that's the way i read it.
Therefore, how is that a NL hybrid? TBH I throw in the towel here aka dead end, nobody not even Nev can decipher what mns use/d in their lines.
MNS Ortega SHOULD be nl1 x NL5, the problem with mns things is that (as stated above) Shanti is great at keeping things confusing, on several occasions on mns forum ortega is described as Afg T x ortega 15 or other afghani, and Shanti never has denied anything,some friends who have grown it have found pheno NL, so it should be the correct lineage, but who knows for sure?
he couldn't remember what the rest were.
Very interesting interview.
I just listened to Breeder's Syndicate podcast, where he interviews Seattle Greg, and picked out a few tidbits:
NL1 was Steve Murphy's Afghani crossed with Nevils Mazer
NL2 was Steve's Afghani crossed with an Afghani from the Indian (Don Dow), Don got it from some bikers from Oregon.
NL5 (cut) was NL1 x Herbie's Hawaiian. This was different than the seeds, which apparently they worked a bit and gave Nevil seeds that were"closest to the cut" in vigor and look. He says Nevil got the cut later, repeating the "came over in a terrarium" story.
NL8 was Steve's Afghani x Big Bud clone, which was gotten through Don (as was hash plant apparently).
He says that the grading numbers were only added to give seedlots to Nevil, and that they were only by height. He didn't keep notes, so he couldn't remember what the rest were. It was inconsistent on what was used in the outcrosses to sativas for the different lines, some were Steve's Afghani directly, some were NL1.
Very interesting interview.
