Wonder if anyone has grown WW, Ortega and MLI in same conditions. Would be a Nice grow journal!
Why WW? Because it was striking in flower how Black Widow was very similar to how i remember MLI.

Hi.Wonder if anyone has grown WW, Ortega and MLI in same conditions. Would be a Nice grow journal!
Hi Goat, I was talking about the SS version not MNS. My understanding, which could be wrong, is that Ortega, Afghan T & S all come from MLI? and MLi comes from Jim and his Mazar seeds. Don't see where the skunk is in the Sensi cultivar?Hi.
What do you mean by "Ortega"?
If you're referring to Ortega from MrNice Seeds, then it's not actually related to MLI, it's a Northern Lights strain.
The Maple Leaf-Ortega, is a "plant type" found out of a Mazar i Sharif seed lot by Nevil. One of these Ortega-plants was used in MLI. Nevil named the Ortega-type after the guy who gave/sold him the original Maple Leaf seeds, Jim Ortega.
Sensi Seeds' MLI = (Ortega x Afg-T/Skunk#1) x (Ortega x Afg-S/Skunk#1).
Afg-T and Afg-S females also came from the same Mazar i Sharif seed lot.

Nevil said:I don't know what Ed is calling Maple leaf.
Ortega 15 was Maple leaf. This was crossed with AfgTx Sk and AfgS x sk males.
AfgT and AfgS were both sisters and pure maple leaf. Maybe Ed thought that AfgS meant Afg(Sam). It doesn't. The hybrid Ed is talking about is 3/4 Maple Leaf.

Hi Goat, so in summary/shortcut MLI is 25% Sk1 and 75% WW mix (Afgh T, Afgh S, Ortega)?
Do some phenos of MLI really look like sk1?
Thanks for your input amigo
WW I meant Western Winds, sorry for confusion. Never Heard the story on the guy called Maple Leaf Wilson, just knew about Jim Ortega. I've seen posts of Nevil thinking Jim for his amazing contribution but never towards A Guy called Maple Leaf Wilson.What is this WW mix you're talking about?? White Widow?
There is no White Widow in MLI.
MLI is 75% Mazar i Sharif Afghani (Maple Leaf) and 25% Skunk#1.
In short, MLI is made of Afghani and Skunk#1
Afg-T, Afg-S and Ortega-types all came from the Mazari seeds, which Nevil named "Maple Leaf", after the source of these seeds = a guy called Maple Leaf Wilson.
Peace
hey Goat, where did you read that MLI has skunk? My reading of multiple postes leads me to think that They used between 2 and 3 different Afghans from Mazar. So no skunk in MLI, it's 100% indica, with afghanica and indica variety.What is this WW mix you're talking about?? White Widow?

Hi.Hi Goat, sorry to disagree if I may based on reading multiple posts on this.
First, we all know by now that Nevil got the MLI seeds at start from Jim Ortega, aka Dogless. Like Garlic bud and Kush4. Only Jim knows exactly how and where He collected those seeds.
Ortega15, AfgT (male), AgfS (female) are all pure MLI and Nevil confirms this in some posts he wrote.
Nevil said 2 important things, "his nose and intuition tells him that MLI and SK1 are distantly related" and then says "he believes, based on similarity of type and smell that MLi is the afghan behind the original skunks, instead of afghan1". So if he thinks MLI is behind SK1 then naturally, given MLI is 100%indica, SK1 is not in MLI, like the chicken and egg or snake bitting his tail. Can't be both ways and SK1 is sat/indica hybrid... When you read these different posts from Nevil, whats clear is that he doesn't know for sure the origins of MLI, nor does Sensi, only Jim does.
Reading posts from Dubi, Ganja, Silverback, Ortega seeker and others leads me to think MLI is A collection of different varieties from the Mazar region.
Last on the skunk and MLI, Nev confirms that MLI crossed with SK1 gets A better result than just MLI but no where has he said that skunk is in MLI. Further, he says that MLI crosses better with indica/sativa hybrids rather than with just another indica. So when he talks about afgT, afgS, and the Ortegas, he's advising to cross them with hybrids, like Sk1. And Nevil did cross the afgS (fruity pheno) with Sk1 male.
Happy to discuss this, I'm no expert, just making my own judgement. Peace

Hi TipForget that one post which isn't vert clear
No, i think he is thinking Afg-T Maple Leaf"-Afghani (..not MLI) is related to the Afghani Sam used to create Skunk#1.all the other ones I mention where Nevil says he thinks MLI is behind original skunk
Nevil said:..Let me say one more thing about ML AfgT. This plant had exactly the same smell as Sams best SK1 but more so. It is the true Skunk archetype. I do not believe for one N.Y. minute that Afghani#1 is behind the SK1...

Q: "From which region of Afghanistan did the 'Afghan' in 'Skunk #1' come from?"Sam Skunkman said:
Sam Skunkman said:Mazar, but then crossed with a Columbian, then selfed, then the hybrid crossed with Acapulco Gold to make it a bit earlier.
But to be honest in the same seed batch from Afghanistan you will find many phenos, remember they may have thousands of females that the seeds came from, as well as thousands of males hitting every one of the females, so that is a lot of possible combos.....

Q: "Hey Neville, is the current MNS Afghan Skunk related to Super Skunk?"Nevil said:Maple Leaf was not related to Northern Lights and didn't cross well with pure NL. Too much Indica. Hybrids of both strains dis cross well when they contained more sativa.
ML loves Skunk1. My nose and intuition tells me that these two are distantly related.

Nevil said:It may have been something that I made.
The Maple Leaf cultivar AfgT had a full sister, AfgS. She was a fruitier counterpart to AfgT.
AfgSxSK1 was narcotically strong. I remember a few occasions that as group of people smoking it would suddenly get hit with a wave of warmth and then look at me with suspicion. I was inspired to cross this with the NL2xKush4, because I could detect a hint of commonality in the phenotypes. I never did find out how that panned out.
