thanks for letting us know. I have a few AKBB packs, but did not get the SS bx. I wish breeders posted more about their potential hermies.

I've been holding off saying anymore about my TKNL5Haze experience. My initial run of them, I started 6 and got 4 females. To be fair, I had an intake duct plugged, so my flower room wasn't getting enough fresh air, so they didn't do well at all. No odor, small yields and leafy buds. I'm taking the blame for that. But this second run, there is no excuse. I flowered three of them along with some Katsu Bubba Sis and some Dominion Burnout Chem. Two of the AKNL5Haze look really good, but I've been pulling bananas and male flowers off of them for 2 or 3 weeks now. The third one is just producing little tiny popcorn buds. They are 51 days since flipping to 12/12 and I'm just going to whack them, trash the cuttings I have and be done with them. The Bubba Sis and Burnout Chem are looking great. I'm starting to suspect we're seeing the results of untested releases. I've got a shit load of his crosses, but I'm going to be very hesitant to bother running anymore of them.

why I bought BX crosses, Maybe I'm wrong, but I think backcross, I think stable. I'm not a breeder so like I said, i may be wrong.
I also have clones of both strains going as I wanted to make sure it wasn't me. got a few weeks till they finish.

I have some of his Consumption and Darien Gap going that are 22 days in to 12/12. The Darien Gap looks interesting. It reminds me of plants I grew back in the 70s from seeds found in bags of Columbian. Long slender leaves and long internode spacing. Buds are just starting to develop so it'll be wait and see on those.

I would not give up on AKBB just yet... This is my first ever run with his gear, 90% of my grow is his stuff (indoor and out) and from all various strains as well. I don't have one single issue with any of the plants... Ecen various phenotypes from each strain all are doing great. The only 2 plants in the room I am not that happy with is the Romulan s1's from Romulan Genetics. Don't get me wrong, they're frosty but very puny small popcorn buds, but they are extremely frosty... I guess it will be great headstash though and they sure are pungent, just extremely poor yields...
Recently I had an issue with too much salt build up in the coco, from you guessed it.... No runoff. I am working on getting that corrected, but despite my nutrient burn (some plants got it quiet severely) they're all still putting out!
This may be saying too much.... But every single pheno as far as aesthetic appeal goes, looks as frosty as any clone only cut I've ever got passed to me in my life....
They also all smell and perform exactly the way AKBB told me they would... Maybe I'm just lucky?? But considering how many plants I'm running of his (over 100) not one issue, yet.

both strains I'm growing looked good till about week 5 for the skunk, started showing seed growth, the NL started showing nanners about week 7. Keep an eye out. The skunk stilll looks super dank, just has seeds in it.

All of my Darien Gap look awesome! On day 32 they are absolutely covered in trichs... I look forward to this one the most I believe..

I've had pretty good luck with AKBB gear so far, I've ran around 7 of his strains, including skunk and TKNL5Haze crosses and have not had a single intersex issue, including his untested freebies. The only issue I had with AKBB gear was my black dom x Tknl5haze had problems with tough shells, 7/10 needed a lot of help and I lost a few. In hindsight I should have done the sandpaper trick first.
That sucks @Kndreyn about your TKNL5haze.. I have a few packs I haven't run yet.. is yours F1?

I bought them in January from JBC and they were listed as just TKNL5Haze and were $100. There were like 20 beans in the pack, so I have a lot of them left. I'm just a little gunshy right now. Today is my 69th birthday, so hoo nose how many grows I have left in me, but I want them to count when I do grow something haha... I'm going to trash the ones I have going and I have a catpiss project and a couple of Black Domina crosses from Bob Hemphill next on deck. Maybe I'll try the TKNL5Haze again after that. I really wanted them to work.

I got mine in December, paid the same.. I probably have the same batch as you... although I didn't get 20 beans. I don't blame you for being gun shy. I'm gonna run all mine in a few months, hopefully i have better results.
which catpiss you running? I only ran 2 females of AKBB's capiss, had one heavy ammonia smelling.. but had a sweeter taste than I was expecting and a heavy stone. Really pungent when burned.

I'm doing 707's Catpiss this run and I have AKBB's Hawaiian Catpiss V3 and Golden Showers to run next. I also have Rare Dankness' Dank Commander which is suppose to have some Catpiss OG in it. But after I bought them I read where they sold out or something and what you get now isn't really what they use to have. So I don't know if I'll bother with the Dank Commander.

That heavy ammonia smell is kinda what I'm looking for, so I'll probably pop those sooner than I thought. I have a friend who I'm sending half of them to and I'll run the other half here.
Happy birthday from a fellow July baby.

Crap... I bought that same batch of TKNL5 Haze as you two guys. Did we ever figure out if those were F1s or F2s?
I suppose some herms isn't shocking but that's not a good result. TK (and OGs and Cookies and so forth) has hermies lurking in the genes and Haze isn't gonna help the situation at all. Was the old NL5 Haze strain known for problems? I'm still up for running them but it's good to have warning that they're sensitive at the least. Maybe part of the phenohunt with this strain is sifting out the flakey bisexual phenos.
Happy Birthday anyway! I'm a fellow "Cancer on the earth" myself.

No I never really figured out what they were. So many conflicting stories about all this stuff I don't know what to believe anymore. Still trying to figure out the Black Domina stories. First he says Sohum that was made in 95, then there's the 95, then the Sohum95, then the Sohum that was older than the 95. I give up haha...Crap...
