Even though this is a bit old now and the OP hasn't been back in quite a while, in case there's any lurkers or future readers who want a definitive answer to this question, I'll go ahead an answer it.My question is short, but both short ans long answers are welcome.
What I plan to do:
I currently have 4 lines of Northern Lights #5 and will make a reproduction in the next weeks. In the following breeding steps, i would like to select according to the well-known characteristics of the NL#5 of the old days.
My question for you:
Are here in the forum old hands who remember of this old strain? Who can describe the plant characteristics / the weed / the effect / terpenes...? And does anyone of you have old photos of NL#5 plants?
Looks like as if someone took NL5 and crossed it to NL2
Hey there @Lester Beans !! Here is the listing for Cotton Candy from The Federation:Is there a description of the Federation Cotton Candy?
The 5×2 still exists outside of Sensi seedsNL5 x NL2 was offered in 1989

Nevil offered #1 and #2 as pure lines.

#5 was only available as the Mother parent in hybrids through Nevil.

I'm jammed up doing cannabis work down the basement today, so short response, for me. It's quite coincidental the archives I've been diving into, that weren't specifically about Neville's work with NL but with haze _and_ Nl, I just read a night or two ago, because I'm getting ready to post it in another thread.Thank you for taking the time to answer
What I am growing is some F3 of a Sensi pack from 1991. What the seedbank is selling today is not the F3s so what I am growing is not available. If this would be commercially available I doubt I would be posting here
I dont care about the numbers
I am interested because I think this is really good for what it is
I would like to understand a little bit better.
I made a cross with this to a Chocolate Thai plant and half of the phenos are NL5 leaning. Diluted at 25% this thing comes up in progeny at high rate
So if somebody grew the real F1 release of NL5 x Hz I would like to know how it was
Same for the original NL5 clone used in the making of these hybrids
Man, this is a plant giving a decent high with a short flowering time. It is a slow grower, haze is not a slow grower so I guess it is a NL5 trait
Whatever fact and clarifications about the weed said by the dead breeder is welcome
The thing is what I am growing was not made by him
It was made by Sensi seeds if I understand correctly from what I read when he was in jail
So whatever they were doing at Sensi at that time they had no clue what they were doing
The guy whoever he was who made the F2s of what I am growing had very clear what he was doing
The seedbank in Barcelona reproducing this indoors had no clue what they were doing, they cannot see indoors the haze phenos properly, indoors they look like NL5
This thing NL5 x Hz 91 from a pack of Sensi Seeds from that time having arrived to me at F3 and growing it in 2024 is a serendipity
What the seedbank which has their homepage down has for sale today is the F5 or the F4. The F4 I had from the bank is much lower quality than the F3 and from what I am seeing through the progeny the F4s I have are from the NL5 pheno
The only reason I have this strain here and growing it is pure luck, it is not the will of the seedbanks to give you their best and if it happens is because of ignorance.
For them 30 min high weed is quality
Could you explain the effects of original NL5 clone used in the making of the NL5 x Hz strain?
Do you think the people at Sensi Seeds knew what they were doing with the cuts when the breeder was in jail?
Was it a one on one pollination or was it a gangbang on the NL5 clone in the Sensi release? This is something that can be answered by someone who grew the original release pack from Sensi
I dont think the Sensi release of that time was the same as the original because of the single fact the breeder was not there
I would like to know description of both NL5 and the original release of NL5 x Hz from Sensi from somebody who grew it
I tried crossing pure indicas to sativas and it always came up indica. This NL5xHz is coming up sativa all of it
Are there more hybrids like this?
It is at least a month faster than THH, it is faster than Ohz x Skunk
There are no sativa hybrids in the market with sativa terpenes and decent sativa high this fast
NL5xHazeA S1, NL5 Pheno.Thank you for taking the time to answer
