AK Bean Brains

[N8V Farmer]

They all sound wonderful, but the C99/Kali Mist sounds like I need to know who the breeder is.

That was a cross I made out of necessity actually. I had acquired a pack of the Serious Seeds Kali Mist back in the early 2000's and had been growing those out for quite awhile. I stopped growing for a few years and when I got things going again I ordered some seeds and got 2 C99 beans as freebies. These were Brothers Grimm genetics by way of K.O.S. Of the two, one made it and was a male so I hit my KM female with the pollen and now have this cross.

The one pheno I grew out from the cross so far had a juicy pineapple aroma & flavor and was very potent. Being so familiar with the KM I can tell that the C99 totally dominated the cross, at least in this pheno. I have about 40 or seeds left and plan to grow some out in the fall to do some selection and an increase. Sadly, I lost the pure KM which was a nice super clear high.

AKBB has the PURE KM.

AKBB has the PURE KM.

I'm not familiar will the the AKBB KM. Would you be so kind as to give a description? I've dragging my feet on some of his stuff just cause I keep changing what I think I want.

 

[jimihendrix1]

From what I understand the AKBeanBrains is from Serious Seeds gear from the 90s.

Email him, and ask for a seed list if you dont have one.

My pack says Kali Mist F4. Picked it up from Golden Ticket Seed Bank. I haven't grown it yet, so that's all I can say about it

Sounds incredible!
If you ever want to trade seeds, off-site, I've got many home crosses.

One I hope to find a keeper in is from a pack of
Chem D x C99 - original C99, by Duke Diamond, that I won on a Big Shoe auction a few years back.

I've also got the William's Wonder F4's and Kali Mist F4's in seedling stage.

Do you smoke many heavy hitters of today like the Chems or OG's?
I would like to know how it compares.

I grew NL from Sensi Seeds back in 94.
My keeper pheno was very narcotic like opium.
The kind of weed that envelopes you like a warm sleeping bag, numbs the pain and care of the day, increases sensual arousal, food tastes better and music becomes a 4 dimenensional experience all while glued firmly to the couch, lol.

Exactly how I remember it.

 

[CloudHidden]

Im not positive but I believe Nevils cut had an extra Afghan breeding in it, and has been quoted as saying he liked his cut better than the original. Thats what some on the Mr Nice forum say. Tough crowd over there.
Some say the NL2 is the best of any of it, but I cant say as Ive never done the NL2.
I know a strain from Dutch Passion named Oasis is NL2, though Ive not grown it.

That's what I understand as well. I've only ever had NL5 once, and liked it. I've got some of AK's NL5, but won't be able to get to it till summer.

Day 24 for the 2 Gaps. The plant up front is quite a bit bigger, but the plant in the back has started putting on the frost quicker. Both plants look healthy to my untrained eye

Front Plant


Back Plant

Day 56 Americanna x Black Domina
This is right after the lights go out.
Sorry, the flash is a bit too much on my new phone.
She is very fruity or syrupy sweet smelling with a hint of fuel in there.

Day 25 for these Skunk Qabbage/Mimosa. Frosting up and reeking already with notes of plasticine, bin funk, sweet fruity skunk and orange sherbet:





...and this lanky Blue Steel/Big Skunk that started life as a freaky runt, stretching late:


Excellent structures all round and very happy with internodal spacing. Excited to see how they develop!

 

[Bakersfield]

I was digging deep in my 4x8 tray, looking for problems like Bud rot after spotting some on one of my home chucks, and I found a couple more
Americanna x Black Domina.

One located directly under the lights hotspot, has not liked her environment and has yellow burnt leaves, but is still getting big and swelling.
I never new her name because it was a stretch to reach her name tag until tonight.
I reached in and grabbed her by the Bud and gave her a squeeze.
She smells just like pineapple, amazing!

At the same time I was rustling around the canopy, I got this strong repulsive odor from a plant I was bumping.
It was like the smell of Skunk Cabbage.
I'm sure some of you are familiar with it.
Reminds me of weed skunk and the sulfur compounds given off by cooking Brussel Sprouts.
Very nasty.
So I'm thinking it could be from a Chem D cross, I have a few, but no, it's from an Americanna x Black Domina.

So of the 5 Americanna x Black Domina plants I know of, could be more, 1 smells of sweet rotten fruit, 2 are like dumpster diving with citrus and other fruit and veggies.
1 is like Pineapple and 1 is like rotten ass skunk cabbage after the spring thaw. There may even be the stank of a big Brownie thrown in there, after he's been rolling in dead shit, cause I associate Skunk Cabbage with being in bear country and on high alert.

Sounds absolutely divine!

I've shopped around and haven't found another forum I like better, minus the politics section.

 

[PanamaRed63]

Besides JBC, who else has his gear?

There are a few around but buying direct is a great option too. Dankortowne@gmail.com request a seed list. They are very friendly folks that I have bought from directly on several occasions. I can happily tell you that my last order had a snafu. I contacted the AKBB folks and politely informed them of the issue. I received quick response assuring me my concern would be looked into. In very short order I received another message to confirm that my issue was being corrected forth with!

In my opinion that's the best kind of feedback I can give.

Here's the stanky girl, not much to look at, but I will be attempting a rejuve on her.

ill second the above statement. I’ve had two rounds through the man himself, and amazing results. The one issue with germination in one of the strains was swiftly replaced accordingly. Matty Cakes was one of my favorites, black dom bx is gettin her second round now, gasolime as well.
