I recently got to try some DNA Chocolope and really liked it, so I went on the hunt for some. I was able to find an old pack of DNA's Chocolope that I knew would be "iffy" to germinate, so I grabbed that and a pack of AKBB's Chocolope. I started two of the AKBB, and all six of the DNA. Only one of the DNA seeds germinated. They are three weeks in to 12/12 now and I can't tell them apart. AKBB's look identical to the DNA.
Outstanding !

I have some AKBB GG#4 x Black Dom seeds I got as a freebie with an order awhile ago, but when I went and looked it up the only thing I found was GG#4 x Black Dom/PNWHP NL1, but I'm pretty sure the label on my pack just says GG#4 x Black Dom written with magic marker. @Dankortowne can you tell me if the ones I have are with the Black Dom/PNWHP NL1? I got them from Labyrinth a year to so ago. Also looking for the Black Dom PNWHP x Super Skunk mentioned above.

It just Black Domina x Super Skunk and I last saw those at the JBC.

The gg4 / blk dom freebie was the blk dom/ pnwhp- nl1
also made both the sohum blk dom and blkdom/ pnwhp- nl1 to the super skunk
only differential was the sohum in front of blkdom

What are AKBB most stable potent strains with NL or Skunk dominance?
I haven’t run it yet but I got a pack of his nl5 to find out. As mentioned above, I’d assume the tknl5haze is more potent product. I’ve scooped up a few of his tknl5haze crosses to hunt through as well.

so far akbb wise I’ve got his NL1 three way done and they were super easy. Good smoke that is a little sweet with nice pine smells from the jar. Not deathly strong, but it’s good stuff.

Been picking up a number of AK gear for the past few years. Have enjoyed this thread from the beginning as I am older and prior to disability by injury in 2015 had not used for 20 years due to random drug testing at any time job requirement. Prior to that I had a lot of exposure to strains from around 1979 to 1995. A lot of strains did not have names, just what province they were from. The first seed bank catalogs I got was about 1986, the dude pulling the elephant and the one with NL/Haze bud on cover, ahh names at last. Anyways fast forward AK has the strains I remember from back in the day.
Have grown out the following:
Vintage bluberry - only sampled one plant so far, rosin had sweet smell. Tasted not as sweet as it smelled with slight blueberry woody background. Medium potent level
BB Bluberry - have not sampled yet
H Cat piss - very vigorous plants that pressed nice, sweet sour taste. Mello high that does not get boring
ak4way - really nice creamy smell and taste. Plant was on small size and had slower veg growth.
Have so much of his gear to go through, at least 12 packs+ all the freebies. Got all AK gear through JBC, great Bank that I also use because of Rollitup.

Consumption, a week or two into flower, same garbage/rotten vegetable smell it's had since around the time I first saw it's pistils. I'm discarding the other two smaller ones because they were staying small(even under 12-12) and taking a long time to show sex. Didn't really have room for them anyway.

Feel like I'm taking a risk on this one, I'm not a fan of gross smelling weed usually, though I appreciate haze and tk. I've had cat piss and hated it. Lemon Skunk was also too gross for me. Both those made me gag/vomit so really not what I look for in weed. But this in spite being KINDA gross smelling reminds me of how my uncle's apartment in New York used to smell about 17 years ago and that sentimental connection makes it a bit more palatable. It's not absolutely gag-inducing just mildly unpleasant. Smell reminds me of a zucchini which has decayed slightly.

The pistils have been taking their sweet time coming in, so I'm bracing myself for this to be a long flower, maybe 12 weeks like the cough is supposed to be.16411335684048854871059356552272.jpg

So past couple month made a few big orders to upgrade my collection. JB company was one, picked some more AK gear I had to have. Ended up winning their lottery, 1st place. Was going to grab the Pineapple Fields but a lot of interest from folks here on that one as it was sold out. Also, I just finished a gar of Honey Badger Haze (freebies from JB) and they had strong pineapple terps (and potent). So went with the 30 year old freezer bean and left the Pineapple fields for the runner up.
Half went in straight water the other have in water w/ Grbberellic Acid. I am not a expert by any means with this stuff, but it has worked in the past for me with old/hard seeds.
Nothing cracked in the straight water. Several in the G. Acid solution cracked after 24 hours, problem was, in my experience, should have only been in 12 hours with checking every 6. Was not able to do this and the acid make the water very nasty and stinking after 24 hours and if you don’t get then out of that solution right about the time the crack into fresh water, it tends to kill then. That’s what happened to the one that cracked, did not get them out of that solution in time and they died. Again, no expert and welcome any pointers using this stuff. Zero disappointment regarding the beans, always a learning experience.
Here is a picture of the pack and the acid. Just an FYI, this powdered acid is nasty stuff, you should wear a mask, googles and gloves when handling. Don’t breath in even the smallest amount as it is a fine dust and can get airborne easily if not handled carefully.
